@luchi.el.zorrito Rofl. The poor people he's arguing should have just had their debts paid for, and the left repeatedly argued should have gotten more covid relief, and you're arguing you wouldn't comply with, and would pull out your gun over? Btw, countries where people followed guidelines better, and the virus didn't get as out of control, didn't have to have as many major lockdowns.

@luchi.el.zorrito If demand hadn't dropped, causing supply to drop, then demand wouldn't now outpace supply. Yes, handing money to consumers, to keep buying things, would have helped keep demand and supply up, and helped people in need. Instead, right wingers handed tons of money directly to corporations, leaving consumers with less money to buy things, and corporations not needing to sell things.

@luchi.el.zorrito If demand didn't drop, and people spent just as much money, buying just as much stuff, then what caused the economy to tank? If there was simply a shift, but the exact same amount was bought and sold, that shouldn't affect the entire economy. And, as with most recessions, the inflation rate dropped to near zero (not a good thing in a capitalist system), because businesses were trying to get people to buy stuff, so didn't increase prices. If supply didn't drop, and kept nice and steady, then why isn't supply meeting demand?
