Suspending civil liberties, vastly expanding the role of gov’t, potentially using war time powers to nationalize companies to their own ends, rushing an unprecedented spending bill through Congress with very little debate. All over what MIGHT happen. Sound familiar? Sounds EXACTLY like what the Green New Deal clowns have been saying.

I’m even more convinced that this hysteria is a trial balloon for something bigger. Not sure how else you explain this irrational response?

I've considered that it could be a trial run for some future event. It has exposed many weaknesses and made abundantly clear why we need to move manufacturing back here, at least on essential items/goods.

Newsflash: If a company needs a bailout they should be classified as "nationalized" and treated as such moving forward.

maybe, possibly, potentially, people are actually concerned about what they dont know and initial impression of this virus is it actually has the ability to overwhelm health systems if left unchecked?

Prepare to be yelled at by people on here who claim to want limited government but have no problem with essentially a secret vote for the largest single expenditure in American history.

It is 6:35. A little early to be drunk, but, considering the times, you have a valid excuse to be talking crazy.

I think it was a dry run from China testing our response.

I think we can agree that all these concerns can be met without forcibly closing businesses or imposing quarantines or curfews. This is a free country (or was). If you feel concerned for your safety, you can take any reasonable precaution you deem fit. There’s no need to infringe on my rights.

I would say not done on purpose but taken advantage of on purpose.
