Just one in three suppliers are fully operational during coronavirus shutdowns, survey finds.
You will begin to see the effects of this soon. It will not be pretty.

No Learning
Covid-19 overlays paths and pieces on the gameboard, previously unseen.
They were always there.
Imagination fail.

The hidden (well, hidden to most) complexity is being brutally revealed. I wish I could say that people would learn some hard lessons out of all this, but they won’t. Mostly, they don’t learn. Just new people take their place over time.
Rebootage
Iโm guessing 10 more weeks before we see the first signs of economy reboot.
This is going to get really brutal. Iโm not seeing any historical comparable for what weโre headed for. Not WW2, not the Great Depression, not the Spanish Flu. This is a totally sui generis cataclysm.

Another of the few people who understands what is happening. How and why do most people think so linearly? It’s hard for me to do so at this point. I guess I have just trained myself that linear thinking is almost never useful outside of a classroom toy problem, though it is far easier. And of course it’s what is taught in school so it’s all the “educated” can handle.
If there were ever one case where that sort of reasoning is utterly useless, it’s right now.
You think you’re ready for what’s coming. But you’re not ready.
Not Progression
This. Healthcare workers making tough triage choices because they have to are not the enemy. https://t.co/Egfcri407N

Yeah. What the fuck is up with that? Have seen many “progressives” claiming this. If the medical system lacks resources, triage choices will be made. Has nada to do with eugenics. That is fucking utterly moronic.
Ideologies dying all around us, too.

I'll admit I used to be peeved that Westerners would defund, deplatform, Out me, get me detained- just because I looked weird.
But now that they are literally willing to link arms and die en masse rather than "look weird" wearing a mask, gotta say at least they're consistent👍

Naomi Wu bringing the heat. I see why people hate her; she’s a lot like me.
Not the Great Depression
In about three months or so if we don’t restart the economy, very bad things will happen. People are making analogies to the Great Depression but that’s not likely or valid; far more probable is that it’ll look like what happened to Russia in the 1990s and early 2000s. Russia had somewhere in the neighborhood of two million excess deaths as a result.
The resulting economic fall here will be far worse, and the sociological resiliency to handle it is also just not present. I’d say the excess deaths therefore will be minimum 20 million, and possibly as high as 40 million.
If you think this is sensationalism and idle speculation on my part, just wait. I’ll be right and you’ll be wrong. Though it won’t matter much. I’d rather be wrong.
Non-Constructive
How Much Should the Public Know About Who Has the Coronavirus?
“Experts” want to keep data to themselves so they can (what they see as) constructively lie. This always backfires, though, once people discover they are lying. Then they are not trusted anymore. How does this help, exactly? It has not so far.
I wonder how much of this lying is just to conceal lack of expertise rather than their stated goals, anyway.
GAF I Do Not
If someone claims a pandemic is a black swan, you shouldnโt feel guilty calling him an idiot to his face.

I will call anyone who says this an idiot to his or her face. I do not give a fuck.
Modern Fem
bernie sanders: *yells about inequality*
liberal feminists: this is basically assault

Modern feminism is a scam to achieve these three ends: 1) Clear the dating market of competition. 2) Advance the imperatives and power of the top 10% of women. 3) Intra-elite competition within this top 10%.
That’s about all. Alas.

History will show anti-maskers raked up a body count that anti-vaxers could only fantasize about. They are absolutely delusional.
When 20k are dead masks will be mandatory.

Those motherfuckers should be tried for crimes against humanity.
I’m serious. Let’s see “experts” spouting off bullshit again then.
