We're never going to find out how much all these lockdowns cost, are we? People are going to see the increases in suicides and other deaths of despair, and pretend like they aren't certain why it's happening. We're crippling ourselves and our children for a return that wouldn't even cover the interest cost.
These lockdowns will ultimately be remembered as a good thing. They will be hailed as the catalyst that drove the lethargic west to finally log off of Minecraft and start taking their culture back, in Minecraft....
I was discussing this shit with my father the other day and he asked if I wanted people to die. I didn't even pause to think, my answer was an unequivocal "Yes!"
I think that's honestly where I'm at. If people dying means this whole shitshow comes to an end, I am fine with people dying.
will be counted as Covid-Deaths and used as a reason to implement even more idiotic policies.
Net saves, it's not saving shit: https://www.france24.com/en/20200728-coronavirus-linked-hunger-kills-10-000-children-per-month-says-un
And all the people developing alcoholism and will eventually die to it.
And all the additional people who died to cancer due to missed screenings.
And then factor in all the people, as you said, killing themselves because of all this bullshit.
And I'm sure there's plenty other unforeseen consequences that I'm missing.
womp fucking womp
Oh, there are effects that won't be felt for decades.
I'm currently in my prime earning years, was at a great paying job. Covid killed off our work and I got laid off. Been looking for a few months now, and most of what I'm seeing pays less than my old position.
With savings and unemployment, I'm pretty safe for a while, but it's costing me close to $10,000/month, plus payments into a retirement plan, plus no health insurance (I'd have to stay unemployed until 2022 before I'd qualify for any sort of assistance on that).
I'll probably have to stay in the workforce for years extra to make up for this. And I'm lucky. I'm in a relatively good financial position.
