  Sad but true.

  Not all Americans called for it, just very vocal ones. The people that were fine with the lockdowns and restrictions were not represented in the debate because they were sheltering in place at home trying to keep more people from dying to the virus.

    America’s national identity is not around individualism. Other people dying it’s less important than individual success.

    That’s why it’s the economy that matters. a quarter of a percent of extra deaths isn’t something people care about AI long as they aren’t the ones dying. But evonomic turmoil hits everyone individually.
