    The government killing the economy by shutting everything down in 2020 had consequences, these are them.

      What does 2020 have to do with 50 years of wage stagnantion?

      Because of wealth inequality we have less than half the buying power that people in the 70s did.

      When we want that to change we can fix wealth inequality by redistributing the excess wealth of the rich.

      As someone who was alive in 2020, what was amazing was that nothing was really shut down. For a few weeks, there was a (state level) 10pm curfew for non-essential work/gatherings.

      If shutting down bars and restaurants at 10 pm for a few weeks 4 years ago crashed the economy… Then maybe the economy wasn’t that strong to begin with?

      Please explain the connection since this has been a constant for decades.

      Exactly, if we let more people die during the pandemic, workers would have more jobs to choose from and less family to take care of. /SARCASM
