Why is nobody freaking about about the economy?
The whole world is going to shit, but everyone seems so calm, worrying about everyday stuff, doing everyday activities... Why is it so?

Because everyone expected us to convert to communism eventually
Who said they aren't? I sure as fuck am worried. Doubly so since I live near that cesspool known as NYC.
It's the normalcy bias. No matter the signals, no matter what's going on, people don't react at all.

>Why is nobody freaking about about the economy?
idgaf about "the economy", I care about poor people, those who don't make much money and are too poor or dumb to manage it (assuming we will not become venezuela-tier poor).
for now I have my job, but what about these people and their families? what about the ill ones? it's a fucked up situation, but it's either that or lots of dead people. what the fuck are we supposed to do? and how the fuck do I help people without becoming poor myself again?
>>Yas Forums
I hope the world will go to shit but I sadly doubt it will
I'm convinced that if the government told us all to eat shit, there would be a shortage. People really are despicable cowards.
Because we just came from seriously considering that the chinks may have created and unleashed airborne AIDS and we were literally going to experience a plague of apocalyptic proportions. An economic depression isn’t as big of a deal in comparison.
Would you rather everyone be out rioting in the streets and panicking? What purpose would that serve? Take some time off, relax a bit, and keep in mind that the worst thing you can do regarding the economy is freak out.
Or don't and livestream your violent rampage.
>baby's first economic crisis
I'm freaking out that it might end too soon. There are fewer cases in New York every day, probably only a month or so left before everything is back to normal.
Turns out it was a nothing burger all along. How disappointing.
Fuck, just realized I posted on the wrong board. Sorry.
who cares. delete your thread
>we were literally going to experience a plague of apocalyptic proportions
No we won't. Most people will be fine. The only thing collapsing will be underfunded healthcare systems and, with them, politicians and parties.
>An economic depression isn’t as big of a deal in comparison
Sure. No big deal. Who cares about a little poverty, crime, homelessness, killing?
I care. delete ur post
dubs of truth
>What purpose would that serve?
CHANGE SOMETHING. Speed it up. This shit is only happening because govt can't afford to lose face by killing people through non-existent healthcare systems so they just lock them up.
user you need to stay off of Yas Forums for a bit.

dont care about some corona hoax
because all they have to do is prop everything up until it's over then everything will literally go back to normal. If anything the country who will mostly be affected is china because (if its true) they got over the virus first and also export like crazy which means their workers are going back to work but can't export anything since all the other countries are still on lockdown and no ones buying any chinkshit.
/g/ and Yas Forums tend to overlap as often or more as /g/ and Yas Forums, which unsurprisingly tends to make up the majority of Yas Forums seeing as that board started as a containment board for Yas Forumsirgins shitting /g/ up with theads about buttcoin.
I am depressed and don't have much to loose, except my anguish and existential anxiety.
>I care about poor people
cringe and soicuck, also didn't read the rest of your blogpost
because it hasn't dawned on most people yet and the news isn't talking about it at all.
you'll notice a lot of leaders are trying to get going again ASAP to avoid the worst of it.
also this
Free as in Freedom. Free as in free beer. It's always there for you.
>Why is nobody freaking about about the economy?
Millions of people are freaking out about the economy what the fuck are you talking about?
And if it isn't the economy itself it's issues stemming from (and causing) its decline like people being forced to become jobless due to the virus. Anyone not worrying is either ignorant or not yet directly affected.
Because you can’t eat stocks and vacation homes, boomer. Turns out that people like being alive. Who would’ve guessed.
Us oldfags remember the great depression but of course at the time we just called it the Roosevelt years. I remember enlisting to fight nips in jungles and that's when I got into otaku culture and imagrboards.
Literally best thing that could happen right now.
Kung flu ain't gonna lead to another Great Depression, retard.
>Why is nobody freaking about about the economy?
Because everyone is blaming coronavirus instead of Switzerland losing everyone's cash a couple of months before coronavirus happened for the economy.
Because CV is a fucking hoax faggot it's just the flu
Based grandpa.
Because it's all manufactured and part of the plan. Literally nothing will change, at least not in the MUH HABBENING way that you are expecting.
Have you turned on tv lately?
Not that I can blame you if you didn't, I mean I don't.
But you see all those people protesting? Yeah, that's who's freaking out.
I'm fine because I have a job and there's fuck shit all I can do to improve the economy even one bit, and no amount of politics can fix anything either, so it's not worth stressing myself out over trying to argue about who to vote for, especially since it's not like any candidates for elected office will have a clue what to do either.
Cringe
NPC only cares about the Italian flu.
>dead people
Can boomers really be considered people? It mostly affects the older and obese
>Yas Forums and other anti-establishment news
Yas Forums isn't anti-establishment, they just want the establishment to be whiter.
Oh no, not the economy. Whatever will we do without it? Surely this abstract concept is inherently more valuable than the tangible elements that it represents.
I've been trying to get sick so I can stay home from work but it's impossible. Nobody is actually getting it and if they do they stay home because they're sick.
Right now everyone is so wrapped up in the mass hysteria about the coronavirus itself that they're not taking a step back and seeing the larger picture and long term ramifications of the economic shutdown. Many people are deluded into thinking things will bounce right back as soon as we open up, or at most they'll think it will be 2008-tier and we'll just need tighten our wallets and not buy this year's iphone model or whatever. They aren't realizing that this is going to make the Great Depression look like a joke in comparison.
We don't even have a real economy anymore. Everything is just fake and gay service industry shit that relies completely on people spending their goodboy points as consoomers. Any hitch in this will cause a cascading effect. People just don't know it yet because everything is on pause right now.
the poor aren't people, you will gradually lean towards this opinion as you experience them
The tangible elements are exactly what's being RIP'd in pieces right now. We're not talking about some gay muh pensions muh 401k shit here. We're talking real jobs and entire sectors being completely wiped out, unbelievably huge proportions of people out of work, out of money, and with no hope.

Also we used to go to a Mexican restaurant on Saturday night but now we have to do takeout since we can't go inside
That's all that is different for me
Coz there's very little you can do to stop it. If you can't do anything about it, why freak out? Your emotional breakdown will not help, maybe it even turn it worse since you'll waste mental energy/resources in despair.
The only thing you can possibly do is prepare yourself and your familly for it, store/plant food, learn how to hunt, try to unite your neghborhood to help each other if the time of need that may come etc.
I was just put on furlough, gimme them Trumpbucks
A "job" is a concept, or at its most real a printed contract with signatures on it. Labor and job are distinct from each other. You can perform labor without a job, and you can also have a nominal job where you perform no labor but collect money anyway. This current crisis was specifically made possible by the existing economic order. Maybe it deserves to disappear? It never intended to or succeeded at eliminating scarcity or human suffering anyway.
>Why is nobody freaking about about the economy?
I want the economy to krach, fuck the kikes and their high-frequency kikeries
>The whole world is going to shit
not fast enough imo
we can't have anything without sacrifices, I don't have a job and barely enough money, I can't flex on people if I don't hav edifficulties myself.
if this can weed out leech corporations then I can eat mud for a few more months.
What's fucked is fucked. Stay calm and let the economy heal.
I don't even understand how an economy can go under. Is there going to be no food anywhere? Massive bread lines? Post-apocalyptic looking cities for some reason? I'm like
right now. Same shit but just a little off. In fact, I self - quarantined myself up I could stay home and revel in the fact that I can stay home.
The kikes and their megacorps will be bailed out and weather the storm. Its the common man and small businesses that will be fucked. Power will further consolidate under the elite nosebergs and the rest of us will be reduced to serfs scraping by on their fiefdoms.
Did you learn nothing from 2008? This will be that amplified x1,000,000
There will be food but the lower people will run out of money to buy it.
have sex and social distance.
If people like being alive then why does everyone wants to kill themselves?
you have to be alive to worry about the economy
the important thing now is survival, after that you can worry about the economy
because no matter what you do it's going to happen anyway
Food will remain the exact same price too? So if you work at Walmart where you're considered "essential" you'll likely to be keeping your job and not be homeless.
I g-guess I'm glad I never decided to better myself.
yeah, demoralized population. really didnt take much, relatively, a few generations of steady subversion and all of westerdom down the drain. women are children and morality needs to be strongly enforced.
>This will be that amplified x1,000,000

They don't or there would be common mass suicides, retard
they want to day on their own terms
choking on your goo-filled lungs is a sad way to go

Who says the aftermath on the economy won't kill as many or more as the virus. What I am worried about is more precisely as you called them the ill. Other countries with in universal health care will have a hard time but will do their best. The us will just continue health care for the rich and let all those poor die in an alley
I'd worry more about coofing that can kill another person.

It's hilarious to see all these people freaking out trying to get guns for the impending societal breakdown. Only for them to find out the bullshit gun control laws they voted for are preventing them from doing so easily. On top of that, government agencies who handle background checks to get guns are swamped or straight up closed. What a time to be alive!
throwing bodies at this will not be of help either
it's crazy how governments paint this image that if we all rush to our jobs with a smiling face, we can win the virus, reminds me of the ww2 soviet charges
gun sales are considered essential in my state, as are liquor stores
lol that's not how any of this works. All the countries with single payer healthcare are at the point of issuing DNR requests for elderly people and having death panels classify those people as "non essential" for treatment. All because their systems are over run. Meanwhile here in the US, hospitals are doing just fine. There is no order of "don't treat poor people lmao"
here in NJ, my normally anti-gun neighbors are losing their shit because all the background checking services are down or have 4+ month wait times.
Because normies unironically believe that this new Coronavirus with a death rate of less than 1 % is the worse pandemic the world has seen. Seriously, you can find asshats convinced that we're living some black plague kind of situation right now.
As such, they're convinced that these lockdowns are good and that the economic crisis just isn't as important.
kek
our state is working to make it legal to carry with no license of any sort
based redneck states
I know that the death rate for Corona virus is hyped by the media. However I'm in full support of the stay at home orders. What makes this virus more dangerous than the flu in my opinion is how long the virus can stay alive on various surfaces. How long people can go without showing symptoms, etc. We don't have a vaccine for this yet which is why people are so scared.
I don't give a fuck about the economy.
checked
>constitutional carry
as it fucking should be and how the founding Fathers would have wanted it to be.
No one's going to do more labor than they need to self sustain if they're not getting a promise of reciprocity, i.e. money. You have the order reversed. Things like the "economy" and "jobs" are abstractions of the tangible work and promises humans do and make while trading resources. If we say the economy is crashing it's not because some intangible spirit is disappearing, it's because we're seeing indications that people aren't laboring and they're not trading which is problem because the vast majority of the population has no idea how to raise their own food or secure basic resources like water or even shelter other than to steal it from people who do know.
Up to 80,000 people died of the flu in the 2017-2018 winter. Less time than covid 19 had in the US
>Why is nobody freaking about about the economy?
Because it is fake as fuck. Money printer go *brrrrrrr*.
I couldn't lose my job if I fucking tried. Military pilot 8 full years left on contract.
These stimulus checks are nice though. Upgraded the shit out of my ThinkPad.
cant eat the economy
This is what happens when you talk about the bonus situation.
If we start eating each other, it would btfo the globohomo. More people = More people to monetize. That's why it is called the Stock Market. Stock is another term for cattle.
yea and I bet more than that were killed by other common causes like car crashes, heart disease, etc. People don't care about sheer numbers, they see this new virus and immediately thing Black Plague 2, Electric boogaloo. Whatever the case may be, I'll be staying out of work for as long as my state continues their shut down/stay at home order. The regular Flu is bad enough and more reason to stay home as your numbers suggest. Let alone this new variant.
to all the Boomers kvetching at their 401k's depreciating and their stocks tanking, get fucked. Welcome to the world.
The lockdowns don't work. They simply slow down spread. Some are predicting that this might last up to two years.
None of the countries that tried a full lockdown are winning the battle against the virus basically because there is no way to feed an entire population for months on end.
>I don't care about the economy
Spoken like a true first-world shithead. You clearly have no idea how catastrophic a collapse is, which what we're heading up to if this continues long enough.
Not even the self-titled "smartest people in the world" (overpaid Silicon Valley technophiles) will be spared.
The boomers are the ones kvetching about the virus because it mostly affects their age groups. It's the young people who are suffering from a lack of work even though it has a
At least I'll have an excuse as to why I can't find a job
>he lockdowns don't work. They simply slow down spread
so what's the alternative? Going back to work like nothing is wrong?
Yes, sacrifice the boomers to the virus
The strong will survive, the week will perish.. Goes for our economies as well. I believe all 1st world countries will do their best to keep things going through socialism and inflation will be killer but nothing will collapse. If anything, our economy will change for the better.
What good does freaking out do? As an individual you're powerless to stop the events currently in motion. At best you can just prepare, react accordingly, live your life, and just maybe come out the other side ahead of other people.
shit if only. And what I meant earlier about not giving a fuck about the economy, I meant more so rich retried people on a fat pension complaining that their stocks are going down or that their properties are going to lose value. I know a society locked down for too long will suffer long term problems, but all i hear from people about this situation is from people well off about how it effects them. Not the common working person. It's made me jaded.
We're basically trying to induce a coma to avoid a virus. That might work if we had a support structure, instead we have china trying to take over our economy and eurocucks trying to sabotage us while helping our enemies in Iran, russia, and china. The US is fucked
>isolate the groups at risk (diabetics, those with heart disease, people over 65)
>massively test doctors, nurses, social workers and everyone in contact with those people
>isolate positive cases
>ban big gatherings, close bars and night clubs, etc.
>enforce social distancing
>quarintine people coming back from other countries
That's about all that can be done. It's what Veneto did and they're the only part of Italy without overwhelmed hospitals or so many deaths.
Just telling people to stay at home doesn't solve anything at all. It's just an order to buy time until a vaccine/cure is found, but there might be none.
>>massively test doctors, nurses, social workers and everyone in contact with those people
>>isolate positive cases
>>ban big gatherings, close bars and night clubs, etc.
>>enforce social distancing
>>quarintine people coming back from other countries
this is a thing that's been happening since all this began in my state. The stay at home order is just the cherry on top while they figure out the extent of the problem.
>destroying majority of the world economy for a month or two
>wont cause a economic down spiral

B14
It can't be the first if they are smart enough to post about it useless op is a genius 11 year old he did live trough the 2008 crisis
theres really no need to additionally sabotage the US from the outside, your president is already giving his best
Do you have autism? Any normal person should understand that if someone was a child during the previous economic crisis then they would freak out during this one unless they were a "genius 11 year old". "Baby's first" doesn't mean "first since birth" in every context.
>orange man bad
At least you're half right. There really is no reason to sabotage the US but it's due to actively maliscious actors in the government and media, not perceived incompetence.
Until something happens to me or my family it's just pixels bro
>poor die in an alley
you have to be 18 to post here, faggot.
Wow, the ignorance is strong in you. Of course there are dnr and 'death panels' in the hospitals that are overrun in the US. The US is just doing that on those who have the money to visit the hospitals, and on those who decide to go bankrupt after it's all over. It's bad for all countries but overall a bit better outside the USA. Of course it might be a bit better for those who can afford the health care in the US. Let's just ignore those dirty poor people
I'm not afraid, because the economy is 80% detached from reality.
All it takes for it to be back up an running is just a good dose of delusions.
fuckin whatever. It's already like half way recovered and we're still in the middle of the pandemic.
The economy will be fine.
fuck it dude what ya gonna do about it. idk why normies are so upset about staying home. i don't understand the concept of being "bored".
I don't give a shit about this cancer meme-economy where growth and GDP is everything. Transform it into something sustainable that won't kill the planet in 100 years.
Welcome aboard, mateys.
