This won’t end well for anyone. The herd is stampeding towards a cliff. Many modern western countries are hurdling rapidly towards becoming banana republics. South Africa comes to mind as instructive. Arm yourselves!
Yup.
Any government has little real assets or money. It can borrow, tax, or print (I guess coerce at gunpoint should be in there somewhere). Shutting the place down is not without consequence and huge inefficiencies have been willy-nilly injected along with the Wes Mouches trying to outdo each other by useless illegal draconian edicts creating a non working masked up faceless society of robots told to hide under the bed from life. With an assortment of self-righteous Karens taking up the role of communist party intermediates. Tax revenues will be way down and non-existant, borrowing is out of the question because there are few to borrow from with all the WuFlu insanity. Which leaves printing. It’s almost out of a dystopian novel. With Marxism waiting in the wings.
The WuFlu has been exploited in just about every way imaginable with total disregard for opportunity costs. While at the same time elements of the US are going full up Marxist dragging the usual suspects of dupes, drones, and useful idiots along for the ride.
I’d have somewhere defensible to go and a way to get there. This never ends well.
