Good for you, you are in a situation where you are not reliant on a small business and it’s easy to follow advisories.
There’s far more to life and jobs than that.
As for how it’s inevitable - maybe it wasn’t, but look around you. An awful lot of destruction we did for questionable benefits.
And I know that with the next pandemic, far less people are going to listen. To them, the credibility of experts has been permanently damaged.
- drekk 5y agoMaybe the government should have paid people so they could stay home? But that's communism and then no one will work and who will bring us our McDonald's order during the outbreak
- gjsman-1000 5y agoYou seem to not comprehend how completely unworkable such a solution is for a country as broad as the US. Also, we did try, it was called Payroll Protection and it was an epic fail.
- rnotaro 5y agoWe paid 2k$ a month for people to stay at home in Canada and it was quite an issue with low income jobs.

- Krasnol 5y agoHow do you measure "questionable benefits"? As a Government you have to protect every single citizen. Lifes have been saved because of lockdowns, vaccination, masks, etc. Not doing that and letting everybody get Covid to see who survives is barbaric. I know that it's no seen that way in the US since this has been your culture but you should accept that it's not seen that way in civilized countries.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoLives have also been lost because of lockdowns, vaccination, masks, etc. Pretending that lockdowns have no collateral damage upon families, businesses, education, and so on is barbaric. And pretending that people aren't allowed to weigh the pros and cons of these actions without being called names is also not the hallmark of a civilized country.
