If this shit gets extended it’s all over.

People are going to bitch and moan and say that the government is forcing them to go back to work even though they don’t feel safe and that they’re putting their life at risk to make money etc etc. Needs to be a strong message of “the virus is with us but we have to learn to live with it. We have to go back to work, we can’t let the virus defeat us”.

People are congregating much more now than they typically would at work anyway.

Hey, instead of being very separate most of the time, let's huddle together in disease balls then sometimes go interact with other groups, guaranteeing maximum virus spread.

I hate having to work with people that hate to work. They are worce than useless.

I'm starting to come around to the UBI concept and the Inevitibility of people that enjoy being productive setting up are own Independant communities perhaps even a Nation within the Nation

The ruling class will not pay for the UBI as they will be the last group to lower their own standard of living or surrender power... Instead the UBI will be set up like the Payroll tax where regular hard working productive people subsidise the infirm and non-productive...

This will force honest folk to aggrigate into tight-nit communitites and where they can work together informally to provide for the communities needs.. Needs that the Larger government economic systems will no longer be able to provide becouse they will be focused more and more on extracting work resource from dwindling producers to alocate to a growing non productive class of people.. This will rapidly close the living standard gap between those people that work vs those who do not work...

Work will thus become a somewhat Illicit and valuable commodity creating a strong Market demand for Forced/coerced Work AKA Slavery...

Mass Immigration is filling that gap in the Proto UBI system we have now but as actual productive Work in America is Taxed/regulated into ineffectualness the flow of workers will rapidly dry up.. Productive workers will stop comming to America becouse they will have better opertunitites to advance in their own countries...Instead Non-Productive immigration will start in earnest as the people unable and unwilling to work seek to attach themselves to first world teir UBI systems.
