    These conditions are not unlike wartime tho

    Does not mean we should ask for martial law

    Monky business

    its really hard to control movement in the US

    There’s absolutely nothing wrong with supplying test kits to cities and mass testing people

    America spends trillions on tanks and fighter jets but this is too expensive? This isn’t about “controlling movement” it’s about keeping ppl who don’t know they are contagious at home

    I don’t think you understand how businesses work. Most businesses would go bankrupt if they’re forced to close down for a few months. Those workers staying at home won’t have a job to come back to lmao

    A lot of people don't understand that the biggest hit will be economically.

    The whole service and entertainment sectors will be hit so hard they won't recover for years. Not everybody is going to be nice through this and some owners and companies will still require bills to be paid. Not every business has all that money on hand, they depend on their customers. They will have to fire people at the very least and those jobs won't just magically come back and if they have to shut down the store it's worse because that's even less jobs. Not only that but after this whole worldwide lockdown people won't spend in the same way for a while. The economy won't recover within a week like all those dropouts think.

    The worst is how many businesses are taking advantage of the government and it's going to work. They never keep any money and use their profits to buy back their own stock but then they beg for money once they've spent it all to make their shares go up. That shouldn't be allowed, especially for a country that prides itself on capitalism. It's a waste of taxpayer money but they'll still get it because this whole thing is a mess being handled by incompetent greedy and selfish f***s.

    RIP 'Murica.

    the relief package legislation is entering the trillions and testing is free. The NYC mayor even said Trump is working to provide relief to NYC
