Covid-worriers complaining that we aren’t still paying people to stay home, that we’re sacrificing lives for ~ThE eCoNoMy~ and like…

  • The international order rn is basically all hung off the dollar as global reserve currency
  • THAT is hung off the fact you can always park and invest dollars for a reasonable inflation-adjusted return

  • THAT is hung off Americans engaging in economically productive activity
  • And if that all fell through you’d almost certainly see 2B+ deaths above baseline worldwide
