The world needs better leaders. Just like Trump says, the doctors will all ask for two years. That's fine of course they are health officials. The economic official probably wants nothing to ever shut down. That's also fine they are the economic official.

A good leader weighs the opinions of all advisors and tries to find a middle ground.

This, 100% this, health advisors will recommend isolation for a year to be safe, they don't know the unintended consequences of such an action. Society is all about compromise of risk managment. We have cars even though car accidents kills tens of thousands each year because the value of the car is worth it. The value of a functioning economy is worth ten thousand deaths but not worth a million, where to draw the line is what grest leaders do, this is the hard calaculus of real politik. Every life is presious but in a nation of 300 million statistically almost any action that affects them all will kill some. So its all about what degree in scale we are acceptable with, as dark as that sounds.

The health officials damn well should know the consequences of such an action. Can you imagine the mental health impact of shutting down a society for a year? Older people will die simply from the isolation, as will those on the edge of offing themselves. Even healthy minded people would be scarred, kids will be for sure. It's unfathomable what health impacts that would cause.

It has never been done before. You could see serious impacts on the cohesiveness of society.

There are two types of globalists, both want power.

The Karen type, they want power to feel useful, and the child rapping baby eating super evil faggots that only want complete and total power.

What you are describing is considered far right. A good comrade listens only to the media. Preferably CNN.

I agree. Except about "middle ground". Leaders find good solutions. A good leader doesn't give a fuck about middle ground. It sounds like I'm being a nit-picky bitch here but IMO it's important that people understand that "middle ground" does not equal solutions. Middle ground is communism. Middle ground is prison. Good solutions are something entirely different. Fuck "middle ground" right in the face.

I was just typing things as I thought. There's no intent to promote communism here. I advocate wholly for finding solutions the American way.

My username has nothing to do with the China party (not that it wouldn't apply there). It's from the СССР or in our alphabet the USSR. I am semi-obsessed with the study of life (and the lack of life) in the Soviet Union and I absolutely abhor communism.

"Middle ground" is a common saying. I understood what you meant; my commentary was not a critique of your words. It was a direct criticism of a culture built on "compromise" and "participation awards".
