A fundamental mess

Lot has been written about the disconnect between main street and wall street as Covid rages on in this world.

The political urge and seeming will to stem the negativity indicative of all that is wrong with the world and inherently the businesses that help run it is to bail out said enterprise.

In doing so these tools in the arsenal are those with the federal governments of the world.  These bodies are the proverbial last stop where the buck stops.  Oddly this terminal feature gives me goosebumps.  This is to say that without these governments we sapiens as a species are F**D.

And we all know how smart or not these so called governments are.  Some are more screwed wrong than others.  And to expect these clowns to actually step in as the last resort?  Caveat Emptor.

Buying stock in companies because there asset values are cratering on the open market is a fool's errand.  To an extent it might serve as a bandaid as all manner of enterprises get a lifeline and put on a brave face hoping the virus goes away.

But to acknowledge the reality that this is going to be a test of survival of the fittest - both human and the business models they have to date designed is what it should be about.  It has always been about this paradigm so why tinker with it now?

This virus is here to stay - perhaps not the very one but a variant.  We can try our hand at new drugs and such but in all honesty our bodies know how to fight.  Some better than others.  Those that do continue to produce a generation of stronger individuals.  Let nature do its thing.

Myopic policy coupled with fake bravado is a faster way to the terminal status than allowing practical medical research coupled with common sense Econ 101 and human interaction to continue.

More goofy policies and money spent propping up bogus glut ridden operations are going to be a loss maker tsunami we will leave our next generation.

All we will end up with are shell companies with no real earnings except fake cash in banks from when we printed it a lot; weak humans propped up with more pills than hours in a day; and more strip down and temperature checks with idiots without IQ poking in your anus (not just your bags) before you board your next flight.
