While we are at it, we can say that mask manufacturers benefit. And morgues, I guess. That's not what I meant and you know it.
Here's the thing though - it's not sustainable. The entire world is either in a recession or trying their best to not be in one. Inflation is rampant globally. Supply chains have been disrupted. We can't have nonstop pandemics.
- walterbell 4y ago> Inflation is rampant globally Inflation is partially due to trillions printed during the pandemic. Lockdowns created deflation, temporarily hiding the consequences of money printing. > We can't have nonstop pandemics. There's a difference between "foo" and "threat of foo". The latter can last for a long time, e.g. airport security procedures implemented in response to one-time events, still in effect twenty years later, with little evidence of effectiveness.
- codefreeordie 4y agoThe common people are in a recession. The folks at Davos this week, or the people at the top of the governments are enjoying the greatest degree of power and wealth in history. You and I can't afford to do the things we could afford to do pre-pandemic, but the Davos set have more wealth and more uncontested power.
