If we’d stop talking about the economy doing poorly then it would come back even stronger than before. Spooking the market never works. We need to act confidently and focus on good information only.
Let me put this into a perspective…maybe…you can understand? Do you want to continue pointing out the devastation of your bush fires or…would you like to celebrate that the season for them has come to an end? It’s the same coin but a choice which one you choose to focus on?
If you are fighting the corona virus by staying home, will unemployment go up or down?
I personally don’t see a problem with a post that contains a link the outlines the details and makes an observation that with a deeper lockdown it will continue to be an ever increasing problem. I can’t speak to what may potentially be posted. One only needs to have a look at some of the more problematic threads to see that relative to those this particular thread is currently pretty innocuous.
I’ll agree there’s not a lot to discuss, but no harm in bringing up how bad it is and maybe what affect it will have on the economy for the short and long haul.
Agreed, we all knew it was coming and there is nothing to stop it until after the disease has reached its peak.
Not really because some news might be preventable with brainstorming solutions or changes in behavior.
This is baked in to our strategy to fight the virus.
Every week there will be a record set for jobless claims…just like every day until after the peak will be the worst day for new cases and new deaths.
Actually I see that there is a continuing need to talk about our last bushfire season in Australia so that we can lessen the impact of bushfires in the future. I would also point out that whilst our bushfires are out the impact of those bushfires are ongoing.
Of course in the context of the unemployment figures the focus should be on ensuring that those who need help (financially, mental health etc.) get that help.
