| Catastrophe |
Here's a couple of articles to read if you have any doubt:
- Epidemiologist Says Influenza Cases Are Being Counted as COVID-19 (short)
- Catastrophe Is All Around Us (longer)
I was going to say that the people in charge must be incredibly stupid, but that's not quite right. It's their people skills that got them elected. Logical thinking is not necessary, the people in charge are sadly lacking in that department and that's why we are headed for disaster.
From watching far too many crime shows, I know that any time you have a puzzling crime, the thing to do is to follow the money. Commercial real estate has been the king of the hill for a long time. Could it be that our new crop of West Coast billionaires organized this lockdown panic to destroy the commercial real estate market? Most all retail businesses and landlords are going to be destroyed. Those guys who own stock are going to see the value of their holdings go up just because of inflation due to the trillions of dollars being pulled out of thin air and dumped in the economy. When the real estate market crashes, they will be able to buy Manhattan for pennies on the dollar.
Yes, it's a far fetched conspiracy theory, but it's the only explanation I can come up with that makes any sense. Well, this or pervasive stupidity.
Why aren't the commercial landlords putting up a bigger fight?
