Does no one see an argument for at least saying hopefully that we will be back by Easter? Of course, yes, it's not within the health parameters and even scary. But can we remain stopped without destroying America as we know it anyway?
Is the Easter argument just 100% wrong or feeble? For me, maybe not Easter, it sounds good, but shouldn't ppl be talking about "when" rather than "if"? 2020 could be our final stand if the economy doesn't come back. At least, final as in "as we know it".
I would love for this crash to decimate America and return us to a thing where we are less "global" than we have been. When we turn on American farms again, start getting food locally again, start relying in the sea for food more, etc.
I think our "civilization" as this fragile should be seen for what it is. Everyone wants to say they want a strong America.... and often, they seem to mean that as how many ships we have and gun factories and bombs. But can't we see this reliance on "money" and economy and buying and tech is making us less strong than ever.
The idea that Americans can't collectively go home for a month and just REST without collapsing the economy really bothers me. If anything, shouldn't this be a wake up that the concept of the Daily Grind is the only thing keeping the flag flown, that is sickening. We have become to where both parents need to work full time to create a life for their children, families don't even get to spend time or LIVE together............... evidenced by families going nuts because they are forced to spend all this time together.
How MFing unnatural is that?
Everything about America has now been shown to be unnatural. We don't cook, we don't get real foods, we don't spend time with family. THAT is what this virus has made clear.
Can we use this to get some of the natural back
