They didn't misunderstand. After seeing the results they decided having 40 million people unemployed and dependent on the government would help Biden's election changes.Agreed.Yep... sux to be them... but if we can save your loved one's life by keeping that business (and similar others) closed, then the financial loss and hardship are well worth it.Incorrect.I merely place a vastly higher value on human life than I do on the solvency of a given company.
False dichotomy.
You're assuming that a company, that the economy as a whole, is something that can be sacrificed to save human lives, and ignorantly disregarding the impact that economic conditions have on human lives.
To sacrifice the economy, you are not saving human lives, you are sacrificing human lives. For what purpose?
If, by sacrificing the solvency of a non-essential company, we save human lives, through lessened exposure, then it's well-worth the sacrifice.
That is unless you work for the company or have your IRA investments in it.
The idea is to salvage both. There is no right or wrong call here because nobody has a crystal ball. I say open up the economy after we have the ability to protect ourselves from the virus like with N-95 masks for everybody, blood donations from those who recovered from it, reliable antibody tests and an ample supply to test anybody and everybody.
But until we reach that optimum state, I hold that human life takes priority over corporate solvency or even the financial well-being of a given company's employees.
I hold that you're setting up a false dichotomy, and I utterly reject your premise that this is a choice between "economics or death".
Since the lockdown was never intended to "save lives and keep people from ever getting sick at all", there's no point in continuing it beyond the point where it has accomplished it's REAL purpose. It was intended to slow the rate of infectious spread and give our medical facilities time to increase their ability to respond and to give our scientists time to learn more about the virus so that we could make smarter choices going forward.
The fact that fucktards like you misunderstood and thought the lockdown was about cowering in our houses until the virus magically went entirely away - and, coincidentally, you had a chance to use it to further your political agenda - doesn't make any of us beholden to acting like your perception was real or sane.
Dims are utterly appalling.
Now, now. Never credit to evil what can be explained by sheer, mind-boggling amounts of stupidity, which we both know can be found in the leftists of this board.
Their thought masters know that the real plan is to destroy millions of lives to achieve their agenda, but the mindless drones marchingon this board know only that they were told to believe lockdowns were about staying home until the virus disappeared forever.
