Re: Coronavirus (political)
In hindsight, I wish Trump came out as soon as possible and put a 2-3 month federal shutdown on things.
That doesn't block individual states doing what is right for them locally. I love me some 10th amendment. But that would have allowed for shutting down international flights and out of state flights. Local governments would get to make assessments for what is best for them while federally, some risks got mitigated.
But at the same time I can see why he tried to keep things more short term and positive. I mean look at the 22+ million people out of work. And its only gonna get worse. IMO we're only at the tip of the iceberg of the economic destruction COVID-19 is gonna cause. We're all lucky we live in the best country in the world. Don't care if it's during Obama, Trump, Carter, etc. Us citizens make this country the 🐐, not any politician.
Whether people want to admit it or not there is a balance between some people dying and another depression. I don't know what the line is and it probably differs from person to person, but there is a line.
Hindsight is always 20/20. This is a once in a generation (at most) thing that is happening. There is no perfect solution. And we'll never know how many Americans were infected before anyone knew the world Coronavirus.
Wish we were all less into blaming and/or being defensive. But easier said than done nowadays (myself 100% included).
Hope everyone is staying safe. God bless!
