Dude you are really, really, and I mean really into the cool-aid. You're so deep that I think you might glow.

I was going to give you a decent response today but After reading this pasta I'm just going to end this conversation with this. 2020 was the largest wealth transfer from poor to rich (3 trillion dollars) in all of recorded history. If you think that's accomplishing nothing, I can't help you.

There was wealth transfers before. The 2008 market crash was more impactful.

But this shows how short sighted some of you conspiracy theorists really are. No one has ever said wealth inequality didn't exist or wasn't a problem. It's trying to pin it on a pandemic, when there where so many factors that was outside of everyone's control. And you're not going to fix it by just "opening up". The damage is already done, you gotta think of another strategy that wont get millions of people sick or hospitalized.

If anything, what precipitated this entire crisis was the refusal to follow science and enact a more safe public gathering routine. Last year, the majority of the population were afraid to leave their homes. This shifted the demand towards "contactless" services like food delivery or online ordering. Many small businesses had a chance to adapt to this market shift. Many others didn't and thus, they were always doomed.
