I mean, we didn't handle any of this well the first time. That goes for most places on the planet. I'm sure we won't handle it well if it really does go south again.

Covid was great for 'the economy.' It facilitated the greatest transfer of wealth from the masses to the few in human history.

I wouldn't be surprised if the ruling class is investing in controlled pandemics, so they can pull one out every few years or so and get a nice boost to their wealth.
