| > Losing your livelihood can kill you, however. Why is "Reopen all the things!" the only solution, though? Part of the reason why people got angry is because none of the people involved around the cosplaytriots wanted to consider any other options, and there are many. 1) The fact that losing your job costs you your healthcare is a political problem. The government can decide to extend healthcare by fiat, expand access, or several other choices. 2) The fact that people weren't getting paid unemployment that they filed for is a problem. 3) If you really believed in choice, give people $2,000 per month unconditionally but allow them to choose whether they wish to go back to work. Now we can see the free market in action. Instead, the only thing on the cosplaytriot protest agenda was "Stay home and die or get back to work and possibly die". That's not exactly a protest sentiment that's going to get much grass roots support. Putting a gun to people's heads is going to make them angry. |
