People need to stay indoors! But what about all those people who can’t work from home or can only make the money they need to survive by working outdoors? That’s why we have vaccines! But power-play and patents, business and bureaucracy are keeping production low. Then there are the mutants (not the cool X-Men kind) that don’t really guarantee vaccine efficacy or shielding. But the government has tons of foreign aid coming in! With no account of where said aid is going or what the ‘silent price’ for them is. But rich people will--! Nevermind, they’re holiday-quarantining in exotic destinations. But people are dying! You mean, those same people who ARE the economy, who impact and influence it in different ways, from small to big, those people? You’re saying people need to ‘stay safe’, or the economy fails? They need to be vaccinated to stay safe, or the economy fails? They need all the help they can get, or the economy fails? Observing the ongoing masterclass in mismanagement, it seems like the economy, and the people who fuel it, are not that important in the grand scheme of things. Did you say ‘scheme’? Don’t start!
