This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

No, we must completely shut down the economy until there are no more cases of COVID-19. Stopping COVID-19 is the only thing that matters, no matter how many people are impoverished, lose months to a year of education, or get mentally damaged by the isolation.
In fact, the only thing worth risking another COVID-19 outbreak over is protesting, rioting, and looting over racial issues. We should allow that, but nothing else.

Darn radical leftists and their *checks notes* belief in the value of human life.
If bitches cared about the economy, they could send recurring stimulus checks to every american for the duration of the crisis and pay people to sit they asses at home. Then it would go into the economy for pizza deliveries and rent and bills instead of going to stock buybacks and offshore accounts in some island.
But that's all fluff. You saw a Republican senator saying "Well, death isn't such a big deal. Deal with it." And you went "I will go to bat to defend this."
So, which of your loved ones do you volunteer to die so the economy will go again? How many friends and relatives do you have? Just remember that you won't get to attend a funeral when they do die, nor can you hold their hand as the last of the life fades from their eyes.
