Pretending that is true for a moment, what relevance does it have to the COVID-19 crises where the government is trying to save BOTH people's (a) health short term & long term & (b) people's lives both short term & long term & (c) the economy in the long run.
Can you answer the question this time:
That theory aside, are the present government actions not aimed at both:
(1) saving lives & health in both (a) the short run & (b) the long run and
(2) saving the economy in the long run.
if this drags and drags no economy to save unless some huge bailouts for the back none of America and not the airlines, cruise industry, motor divisions
airlines show they don’t handle bailouts very well so they should be stricken with low interest loans to pay back when they start making their billions again
I'm pointing out that in normal day-to-day life, our government already finds some sort of death acceptable to keep things moving. Why is this different?
Answer your question? It's a poorly worded question but sure:
1) Saving lives in short and long runs? Yes
2) Saving the economy in the long run? That remains to be seen. We don't know what this will do to our economy in the long run. Sure, nobody wants the economy to hit the shits but that's what it's doing with no end in site.
any updates on flu deaths today... question mark
I see the dredges of society , squad members here , posting some of the same old dumb shit posts looking for attention.. all looking for govt dependence in the long run.. they have nothing , they want everyone else to be like them , to be dependent on the govt.
Stock has to be the dumbest poster ever on this forum.. Has this loser ever had a meaningful post ..

Without the present government guidelines, orders & such being followed, & "business as usual" how many would've become infected in the next year? 10, 20, 50% or more? (To say nothing of the loss of heath, associated loss of quality of life & death toll). How much worse would that be for the economy?
The governments, backed by science experts opinions, are gambling (taking a shot) that their present course of action is +EV, i.e. offers the best chance of success.
In a one of the worst case scenarios possible, the economy can live without all those things you mentioned: cars, planes, cruise ships. If they all go out of business or bankrupt, won't new companies spring up in the same industries? Though maybe air travel being permanently lost would be a good thing for the survival of the human race long term.
LoL...look who woke up from his drunken stupor!
You are grossly wrong on all points above...as usual...nothing new there...
You think you have it figured out...but you don't...You are so off base and lost you just cant see what is going on here...
You really hate these people on govt. asst. don't you?
Do you hate them more or less than if one of your family members were dating a black guy?
In your car example governments are willing to sacrifice a few lives for the sake of the various benefits (economy, quality of life etc). They leave it to individuals free will choice whether or not to risk using cars rather than other safer means of travel.
In the COVID-19 crises the governments are seeking to save everything: quality of life, health, life itself, the economy. It's not an either or, this or that, as in the case of car travel. So that's why they're quite different. Apples & oranges.
If someone doesn't know, as you state, then how could they argue that the government is taking the wrong course of action? Is that what you're saying? If so, why? Based on your flawed analogy above?
I wasn’t saying correct course of action. Just saying economy will be torched without govt assistance to the businesses that make up every town and city state to state. Without airline hard to do business. Fuck the cruise lines If can live without diners , drive ins and dives, chains etc what do those folks do for a living now?!

”[FONT="]The restaurant lobbying group estimated that the restaurant industry in the U.S. will take about a $225 billion hit over the next three months, which it predicts could lead to 5 million to 7 million lost jobs.”[/FONT]
just imagine other businesses also if the govt doesn’t help. Depression that could last for years. Going to bad enough if this doesn’t get control in two weeks.
Assistance as in cash handouts for basic living expenses (food, shelter)? Isn't Trump going to dole out a trillion USD shortly? Many people with savings & or stocked up stuff won't need it. Food growth, production & transport is continuing, so there is more than enough for everyone. People won't be left to starve. So why wouldn't the economy recover?
