educated and world renowned? Hah, what does he know.
A common thing done by authoritarian and fascist governments is to go after the educated, I see its been effective with some folks.
What an inane comment.
All of Trump's cabinet are well educated. Your attempt at deflection and intimidation failed. Sachs is merely another left wing nut case. I can find one on the right for every one you find on the left.
A common theme on this forum, as I'm sure you're well aware, is to discredit experts as knowing little more than the common high school grad. Likewise, data is treated as little more than a bunch of lies in their minds.
Sadly, this is a continuation of the long history of anti-intellectualism in this country. How else would working-class people be convinced that their interests align with the billionaire plutocracy?
More inanity from the Party Which Claims Possession of ALL Knowledge.
Fail.
The Left: "Trump has driven the economy into the ground!"
Also The Left: "If you think we should get the economy going again you're a right-wing kook who wants poor brown people to DIE for your stock portfolio!!!"
Trump’s inaction and incompetence tanked the economy. Opening back up now isn’t going to do a damn thing. The damage is already done. I’m actually in favor of opening things back up with some restrictions. However, people won’t be going out and spending until they feel safe doing so, regardless if it’s legal for businesses to be open or not. And if there’s a second wave without some kind of treatment or a vaccine, we can kiss the economy goodbye for a generation.
Only people I know who were saying we had a healthy economy were Trump and his mouthpieces on Fox (what are they going to do for a living when their guy is history?)
Now, with the Virus, and the poor response from the WH, we are in a world of hurt--both socially and economically. Huge deficits, and a depression on the doorstep.
Is there a worse scenario?
Pity anyone who has to come in and discover how deep the rot really is, and then face the nation with a plan to clean it up.
Sweden didn't go into a hard lockdown like the rest of the world and their coronavirus deaths are not that bad.
I guess they're a nation of right wing nut jobs.
Other lefties, like Robert Kennedy Jr. who don't blindly engage in Trump hating (and he's no Trump supporter), have pointed out that deaths from the effects of isolation, mass unemployment, and people not seeking medical care could be just as high or higher than the number of people who die of the virus. Of course, not surprisingly, he is ignored because they don't support the media's narrative.
For those actually interested in what an intelligent analysis looks like he talks about this at 44:55:
No, ignorant cultists rabidly attacking people on the internet is worse.
ignorant cultists...that would be the liberals..liberalism is a cult... liberalism is a cult of the mentally deficient
