So many legal ways merely allow these faggots to slip away because they are funded by trillionares to subvert everyone to become enslaved consumers. They walk from jail and suing them doesn't work. Hence, they just laugh it off. Here's a nice little quote that really covers how to fix the problem:

In short it would seem to me that any intelligence at all would lead comrades to know to stop hitting the Enemy where he laughs and start hitting him where he SCREAMS!

There may not be many regular consumers left, if this lock down shit goes on for more than another month. With so many not working, very litlte other than food and household items will be purchased. Who needs a new car if they don't drive anywhere? The system is wildly over reacting to not having enough hospital beds and equipment, should most people be allowed to be exposed to covid-19, like we are to every other flu and cold bug. We need to accept that roughly 0.4% of those infected will die, everyone else will recover in a couple of weeks. The world could then move on. I think the only country that's going to come out on top of this is China. They won't have to wait ten years, or more, to become the worlds most powerful economy when all Western economies shrink by 50%.

We may be living in one of the final chapters of the Clown Worldᵀᴹ graphic novel. Or not, if normalcy returns by June 2020.

I think you're right about consumerism in what you're saying. However, consider that after all of the purchasing power with money is exhausted, some may begin to use other forms of currency, like their freedom and bodies. I think this may actually be the plan that these internationalist oligarchs have, which is less about money and more about power.

It would be nice to think normalcy will return. If people don't stand up now, then they won't change in June. I'm not hopeful for the masses, but some more are waking up. What I have hope for is cherishing those that do.

Snippet:

At present, governors and mayors face no political downside to suspending democracy and the economy with overly draconian measures. They only face accolades and praise from the media commensurate to the degree of lockdown they promote, based on the faulty science that failed so miserably in Europe. It’s time to make them feel the pain of their decisions so that they are forced to pursue a more prudent and balanced approach to coronavirus.

So far, all the damage to our liberty and economy is being pushed by state and local governments, not the feds. On the other hand, all the bailouts and responsibility for dealing with the fallout of their virtue-signaling decisions are being placed on the president. Isn’t it time for state legislatures and county councils to convene and take full responsibility? If they are big enough to declare nuclear winter on liberty, jobs, and the economy, they are big enough to handle the blowback and pay for their decisions.

To that end, citizens should pressure their state officials to suspend numerous forms of state taxation during the duration of the shutdown. The longer the shutdown continues, the longer states should do without their revenue. Furthermore, President Trump should promise that the $150 billion that state governments received during the last epic spending bill will not be present in the next one that will inevitably pass in a few weeks.
