simple trade, making products and selling products, by ordinary people, with their own money .. is endangered in California and elsewhere due to suffocating and inexorable taxes, permits and raw material flows. Moronic street gangs are stealing millions of dollars worth of high quality, low price, commodity goods that no regular person could make.. due to the overflowing amounts of them in circulation.. yet to make a simple product in a cottage way, or to sell a common product to your close neighbor, is not economically viable. Service business had survived: travel tourism, food and beverage, sports... but those sectors have been crushed by lockdowns and new social practices. It may never return to what was common recently. Large-scale circumstances where ordinary people who are "good enough" workers and responsible, unable to do basic commerce themselves, will economically strangle massive numbers of citizens over time. Humans are predatory and exist in large numbers. Healthy people will fight back rather than starve economically. $0.02 USA
