Not just civil liberties, but the pursuit of happiness... also known as the right to work.
10 million people filed for unemployment in the past 2 weeks. That number will double in another 2 weeks, basically, the system is only capable of processing 5 million per week.
How many millions can lose their job before we have a revolution? That's a serious question, one the government should be looking at.
If i had to guess - and that's about all you can do at the moment - I would say 100 million Americans have been/are being laid off due to this social distancing experiment. There is no precedent for that... nothing even close.
End of April comes and they don't put an end to this moratorium on living... there will be riots.
So, how about the K-12 schools? How do they grade the final semester? How do they decide who gets to graduate? I haven't heard a word about it.
Another deal, when you close so many eateries, the burden of food supply shifts to the grocery markets. So that traffic increases. Okay, they had to shut down the grocery stores in Italy for 3 weeks, I think it was, because the virus was still able to spread in the stores. Banning shopping bags in San Francisco isn't going to get it done, what happens when the CDC recommends shutting the grocery stores down?
It is still early, people have not lost their patience yet. But it is a well known phenomenon with humans that they go stir crazy, they get cabin fever, and when that happens, it is going to get ugly.
Indefinitely is not going to get it done forever, in fact I would say,
indefinitely is like setting a ticking bomb ... at some point soon, this nonsense has to end.
