So by capital destruction you're referring to shutting down large sectors of the economy due to the coronavirus? Or was this already taking place before 2020?

I didn't think you were referring to a conspiracy. I just didn't know what you meant, since if you have capital, it's not really rational to destroy it

Right. But, more than that, I'm talking about the fallout of shutting things down—of breaking the chain of production—and then the difficulty of starting things up again.

I was horrified when things got shut down. Even when I originally bought into "two weeks to slow the spread" and believed it was only going to be for two weeks, I was concerned that a global, advanced division-of-labor economy cannot be switched on and off like a lightbulb.
