Too many people have a deadly ignorance of the functioning of an economy
As I’ve said since the beginning of the pandemic, way too many people act and talk as if Santa Claus restocks the grocery store every night. This is a widely held attitude among the middle/upper class, the same class who has demanded lockdowns/masks/vaccine mandates. These people are disconnected from the real world, but are the ones whose voices count when decisions are made that affect the real world. A dangerous situation.
