"Nobody in the year 2000 would consider building a house to last more than 25 years" seems so odd to my "modern" ears. Is that because housing at that time was focused on industrialized pre-war / baby-boom productio

"The best of society as more important than their own freedoms" is a false choice here. I believe very strongly in working for the best of society which is why I bring up this very point. This kind of effect is also borne out in s

Why would such a mechanism of control incentivize those that feel sick to report their symptoms? Why would one submit to control at this level? This sound similar to ankle-bracelet-level Parole / house arrest structures. In fact, I&#x2

I just don't know how you would enforce this and even if this money "only" helps a family with some means have a cushion to worry a bit less so they can continue as they were it would be productive for markets. Say you send a

"Means testing is hard. [Sending a check] is easy." Don't add the overhead / cost / etc for the benefit - speed is key, just cut the check in my opinion.

Like high viral coefficients, the marginal propensity to consume at (or even above) 1.0 has a huge multiplier effect that beats the heck out of a tax cut or other spending. Agreed, and this makes total sense in a crisis like this. Even bett

It would be a mistake to conflate "America" and "Americans" with the current administration, generally. There are a lot of good people doing good work that I'm sure would also collaborate and share a global solution

True, but if you can offset that with an HSA to cover your entire deductible and sweep the rest into a qualifying retirement plan it makes a lot of sense _and_ you don't have to worry as much about the deductible. Note: I am on a typic
