i don't oppose this, don't misunderstand me.

but, instead of quarantining the people that are at risk and allowing immunity to build, which would require minimal disruption and be highly effective, even if it might be seen as distasteful to family-first type conservatives, we are going to:

(1) shut down the entire economy for months, thereby
(2) creating massive levels of unemployment and then
(3) borrow billions of dollars from central banks at high interest rates to
(4) essentially put everybody on welfare.

we're actually doing this.

it's insane.

my gst rebates come in for april and july, so i'm not sure if he misspoke and i should expect the increase in april (or july) or if i should expect a separate check in may.

i'll take it. but, i'm going to have to wait for the economy to open back up before i have anywhere to spend it.
