Neoliberalism is a death cult. Look at its high priests demanding sacrifice to Moloch! The vast majority of economic activity is absolutely useless to maintain essential supplies, infrastructure and services. Very few people have to work to keep society intact while we ride out the pandemic. Recession caused by a drop in activity is easy to fix provided you manage debt obligations in the interim. That can be a delicate dance but it is well within the means of modern capital. All of these problems are ideological. You see people in these threads lately who literally cannot imagine anything possible outside of the status quo and are willing to sacrifice the vulnerable to get it back. If you break the facade that debt obligations are a moral obligation and not a social construct whose relevance in extraordinary circumstances is marginal, a central pillar of free market ideology collapses. At this point I'm not sure if it's a charade being pushed to its absurd extreme or if the ruling class and their sycophants' brains are completely hollowed out by ideological brain worms.
