Printing money devalues your dollar. If a Toaster used to cost you $25, it'll cost you $35. The upside is that it'll make it more competitive to manufacture it domestically again. The downside is the days of cheap consumer goods will go way up and double digit inflation will probably follow.
But I think the real danger is described in The Shock Doctrine. When there is a shock to the system, governments take actions in the guise of "fixing it" socially and economically.
Socially: Try going to the park and shoot some hoops with your buddies and see how long before the cops show up, play 20 questions with you, take down your ID, fine you and order you home. This is extreme, but how long will it last and what components will be with us forever.
Economically: During Iraq’s civil war, a new law is unveiled that would allow Shell and BP to claim the country’s vast oil reserves. After 9/11, the US took control of the oil in Iraq. After a tsunami wipes out the coasts of Southeast Asia, the pristine beaches are auctioned off to tourist resorts. New Orleans’s residents, scattered from Hurricane Katrina, discover that their public housing, hospitals and schools will never be reopened. It just goes on and on, never to "return".
We can't fight for everything, but unrolling the domestic social "medicine" COMPLETELY should be fought for with your life once the shock event has past or your freedoms will never return.
but who's actually winning by making more than they have ever done - because of the pandemic?
- For starters it looks to me like the corporate suppliers of all essential goods are raking it in - with millions of people stocking up with food and household goods - whoever comes up with the state approved vaccine to covid19 will clean up and be worth billions overnight - if they are not already part of some pharmaceutical/industrial complex - which is likely -
- We could play - 'Follow Da Money' - and try and figure out who really wins out of this tremendous upheaval in our daily lives - I already know who's losing - yes, the general population is losing lives, jobs and livelihoods - but who's actually winning by making more than they have ever done - because of the pandemic?
