Why they think lockdown can go on and on and on

You may have noticed something:

The virus hysterics aren't really listening to what you're saying.

No matter how much you point out the devastating wreckage and the massive loss of life attributable to the lockdowns, you still get their stupid narrative: "We believe in health and human life, and all you care about is the economy."

My point all along has been that human life itself is destroyed -- in millions of cases literally, as I've shown repeatedly, or at least spiritually in the inhuman lives they've asked us to lead -- by the lockdowns, and that it's cartoonishly stupid to think the issue is "health" versus "the economy."

(Of course, if I could get people like this to listen, I would explain to them what "the economy" is. They think it's the stock market and wicked people pursuing profits -- and by the way, there is absolutely nothing wrong with either of those things. But the economy is a magnificent latticework of voluntary cooperation, in which each of us fits himself into a global division of labor in such a way as best to serve our fellow man. For many people, too, it is not just about serving others but also what brings them personal fulfillment and meaning.)

They think this can all go on indefinitely because they believe in magical-fairy economics. They think those big, bad corporations are sitting on essentially infinite piles of cash, on which they can draw as long as it takes.

As for the rest of us, why, the government can print the money and hand it out!

You think I'm joking.

This kind of thinking is all over social media.

Oh, and by the way: if these folks think the world can be fed without that optional, forgettable thing called the economy, they're in for a surprise. The UN's estimate is that supply-chain disruptions and other lockdown-related issues have put 130 million people at risk of starvation.

Now:

Notice something?

The very people who scold you for having an opinion on how we should handle the virus -- because "you're not a doctor!" -- think nothing of proposing quack economics without themselves being economists or knowing the first thing about the subject.

When it comes to wealth, the economy, or "the rich," every opinion coming from the mouths of these people is cartoonish and ridiculous.

So this is particularly well timed:

I thought you guys would be interested to know that an outstanding documentary miniseries called Money Revealed, featuring great and successful libertarians like Whole Foods CEO John Mackey, former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, and Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, is just about to be released, fully updated for 2020.

Each of these people explains how they succeeded — and then, once they succeeded, how they invested the money they made.

Were you to listen to AOC and the rest of the so-called progressives, you'd have a cartoonish, preposterous view of successful people. Listen to this, and you'll know how they did it, and then what they did with the dough.
