Now why do you think they would or should?Basic economics when you have less option pricoes go up
that's how it goes. High unemployment, less disposable income doesn't come into play.
You have a valid point but it doesn't work that way. Sadly many Americans are idiots(and this isn't directed tpwards you) and it is certainly isn't everyone, but enough to get us where were are today.
I'm not going to great detail, but the US economy has been in peril and propped up for years, kickg the debt can down the since Baby Bush was in office,than Obama, now Trump more and more debt a lot of to China. Reliance on China for just for about everything including pharmaceuticals
This virus while real has been way overblown, not conjecture or conspiracy theory, just cold hard financial facts. The virus will take the blame for the cause of what we are now all facing, some getoy many don't but once they emerge of their dwellings binge watching Netflix reality will start to sink in.
Common sense would make people question 40 million people out of work, businesses gone for good lives ruined, a decimated economy,domestic abuse off the charts, people who died due to suicide or due to surgeries place on hold. For a virus that 98% of people recover from, and don't even go to the hospital. The ones who died due to age and very serious illness who were not long for this world, Covid 19 being put down on the COD. Oh and get ready for crime to go way up. For many states have been releasing including violent offenders Covid 19 the reason of course the one stop solution. It's for their safety, yours doensn't. Imean what could possibly go wrong? If they have no family or friends to take them in, out on the street, bad economy,no money. People who have nothing left to lose,what could possibly go wrong. Those in charge know best dammit, don't question or think right?
These are facts not conjecture. But why let facts and logic get in way, much better to let fear and lack of critical thinking be your driving factors, never mind it never ends well in any scenario, who cares
When you have a country now right wing loons and left wing loons so blinded by hate and wishing death on people they don't even know. So over the top they can't even think straight. so no chance of any critical thinking. This is the end result.Everyone who now have helped create more division, while ignoring real issues.,,,great job,
Arrogance when combined with ignorance never ends well. And those of use who paid attention, who could take emotion out the equation, and look at that situation. Can't speak for everyone. but great job.
I live in CA, now I am not crazy about Trump but Newsom is worse. Oh my, is that even possible in America? Has to be one side or the other right? Wrong, but so much easier pick a side never question what your team does, and insult the other side even if they have valid point. It[s about winning at all costs not the for the long term impact
Sorry for the long rant. But it is beyond mind boggling at this point in t
When we have threads on here for example asking do you wear a mask and who did up vote for...seriously???? All that has been going on in this country and this is their mindset? Wow.
