The only thing that will get the economy going again is forcing the schools to open back up.
The schools closed, and all the women who have nobody to take care of their kids had to take off work, and then most of the businesses can hardly operate because half of their workforce, who aren’t even sick, just left. The only way to reverse that chain reaction is to undo the first step and force the schools to open again.
Really, this fragility in our economy is a completely foreseeable consequence of feminism. Women decided to compete with men for jobs, but when times get tough, they will abandon those jobs if they need to care for their children, and the whole country is just expected to suffer the consequences of this selfishness.
So you are on the “Let’s just spread the virus fast, and if people die, they die, but no point in ruining the economy” side of the debate.
To me that is a reasonable approach. The other reasonable approach is to do the absolute maximum to stop the virus, but completely destroy the economy. Either one of those could be logically defended.
We are doing neither one. We’re spreading the disease and ruining the economy both.
I wouldn’t call it “selfish” to eant to care for one’s children.
