And nobody should be spending money beyond necessities right now - and stocking up on backup necessities.
It’s not the time to be buying a new car, it’s not the time to be trying new makeup products, and then we have other issues - it’s not the time for new films in the cinema, it’s not the time for sports, the lists go on.
It’s not time to buy new products, and certain subsets of products are no longer allowed to exist.
I hope advertising suffers a lot, to be honest; it’s an industry of corruption, manipulation, and lately, privacy violation.
- gdulli 7y agoWe can't be at the extreme of consuming normally, because that requires all stores to be staffed normally. We also can't go all the way to the other extreme. If we have unprecedented employment now, with partial non-essential consumption, we don't want to see what it looks like when we turn down consumption to further extreme degree on top of that. We need an equilibrium, and shutting down the economy fully is as misguided as reopening it prematurely.
