> I am shocked that you think it is okay for the government to take people's property and liberty What property are you referring to? What about the money they took from me to fund the Iraq War? And you think the government should compensate when they take away liberty? Do you have any idea what the NSA has done since 9/11? I never voted to have my 4th amendment rights taken away and I've never been compensated. Earlier you said > I mean, the government shut down the economy, not the virus. That seems to be the entire basis of your argument. First of all, the government didn't "shut down the economy". They responded to a pandemic. What other action could they have taken? Pretty much any action will have an effect on the economy. So what? This isn't new. What about when a hurricane is coming or something else that causes forced evacuations? Or when people aren't allowed back to their homes immediately after? They could have saved their property if the government didn't intervene, right? Does the government owe them money? Companies should be responsible like citizens are expected to be. They shouldn't just always assume the happy path and then cry when a disaster happens because they weren't prepared. Always be prepared. You're profits may not accelerate as fast but that's not my problem. Businesses being dependent on loans being the norm has to stop. That's why our economy is so fragile.
