We lost just as much in 2001, and for the same bullshit reason.

Bad thing happens.

Government says "Give us more power or bad things will happen"

Sheeple say "Yes Daddy, anything to make us feel better."

Later, new bad thing happens.

Repeat.

The scariest part is that there is a new virus of this level every few years. It's just how shit works.

Now we have set the precedent that we have to shut down the economy and ruin millions of lives every time some chink eats a spider and coughs.

If that doesn't scare the shit out of people, I don't know what will.

A crisis is too good to waste. That quote can be applied to almost anything the government does.
