It’s too bad society couldn’t be more realistic, and sacrifice some productivity instead of just pushing the work around. Central banks printed trillions of dollars in a matter of weeks (incinerating some currency value) to keep the economy alive, this is no different. We’re still collectively optimizing for the wrong metrics.
