[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northam’s order seems like an attempt to consider both economic and medical reality.  A phased approach is at least a plan, and we need a plan to assuage the next waves of armed protests. [/quote]

[b]I’ll say it again. Privileged white Americans are too selfish to sustain this[/b]. Our government is too corrupt to have put in measures that would have helped people bear it long term. The result is we half assed it for awhile and with summer coming Americans will just decide they’re done. Mass death will become a fixture of life that we accept so we can go to the pool. Northam understands that this is ending whether it’s time or not because we Americans are just too stupid and intolerant to keep doing it. So he’s enacting phases to at least impose some order rather than just let it be a free for all but I’m positive nobody thinks it’s actually a good idea. They just don’t have choices without government support and a compliant populace. [/quote]

People don't want to see society destroyed.  That's not being selfish.  It's not simply "I want to take my beach vacation,"  I mean sure you hear that, I say things like that too.  But that's not the real reason I want to see things reopen.  It is because I truly feel that the damage we are doing to the economy is way worse than the number of lives that would be lost otherwise.  [/quote]

The government is to blame for what happened to the economy. They could have implemented UBI, suspended mortgages and rents, provided free healthcare like the ENTIRE rest of the developed world did. The fact we live in a capitalist society that doesn’t value its workers and have a government that doesn’t care to actually help is why it’s so bad for us and why we have to throw in the towel before getting it under control the way other countries did. It’s nearly eradicated in Singapore and New Zealand. The US is just saying lol oh well [/quote]

Seriously?! We ARE a capitalistic society and our country has never had any of the above. It’s fantasy to even assume that we could have put all of the above into place even if the government had a desire to. It would have bankrupt our country.   You can’t compare a large country like ours to a small island nation with a homogenous population. [/quote]
