I thought the angle he was going at was that our fight against the Coronavirus was going to be a Pyrrihic victory because we cratered our economy in the process. Apparently he was going after some other indirect angle about people ragging on cities doing poorly and those same people being dependent on revenue from cities. The first would have been a far more fitting essay, in my opinion.
