We’re not talking about wartime, we’re talking about socialism. How often are socialist measures reversed?

You said — “We’re not talking about wartime, we’re talking about socialism. How often are socialist measures reversed?”

This is the wartime equivalent for the economy — the Great Depression...

One thing I can say about the measures that were taken before, some of them will actually soften the impact (for individuals) of the coming Great Depression as people are out of jobs and homeless. Many of these social services that we have now, were not in effect before. So, help some people... and that’s not entirely a bad idea when you’re talking about 25% unemployment (as it was from the last Great Depression). I remember reading several times (in the past) where a large portion of the families in this country are only one or two paychecks away from being homeless. If that is so, we’re gonna have a huge problem pretty soon...

When you’re dealing with a patient who is immediately under threat of dying, you take *whatever measures* are necessary to revive the patient. After the patient is revived and recovered — then — the patient can “go back to work”...

While the patient is dying, you don’t ask about his job... LOL...
