I think the "fix _ printing money non stop" for the economic crash caused by the virus will result in just that.

What alternative would you suggest in the current situation? 

The virus is not a normal market force.  This economic collapse is not just the completion of a normal business cycle.

What better alternative would you recommend?  I'm honestly open to alternative, but it seems like it all falls into:
1.  Prop things up by whatever best mechanism you can find.
2.  Ignore the problem and let it all slide into the chasm.

We got a My Pillow. Surprisingly it has greatly reduced the snoring between my wife and I.

I just want to know why the problem is expanding rather than contracting. Why is "mental health" and laziness expanding. Why are more people able to find hard drugs easier which puts them in homelessness? Why are vets being left on the streets while politicians get retirement pensions after 5 years of service?

I blame it all on high taxes and a failure of government officials, along with the hollywood culture of sex drugs and violence, along with a news organization that promotes fear, depression, death, and uncertainty. 

Like I said before, until people realize their government is taking advantage of them and selling out their society while using those poor souls to raise taxes. It will only get worse. That's what has been seen in Portland, Seattle, and San Fran.

only way my pillow reduces snoring is if she duck tapes it ti your mouth. 

and again it shows you don't know what you talking about.

mental health is more because we have more people and mental health is not a priority.

I'm bipolar and no vaccines didn't cause it, family tree did.  i was able to live a successful life despite if it,  I'm not unique, many have. all 3 of my kids have it but they learned about it while young.  my grandkids will probably have it too.  see how that works? more people, more cases.

nope to all.  mine was different.  but i have seen people making 50k living in a garage that don't have drug or alcohol problems.

while there's a higher rate if drug use among homeless, they typically don't use needles, more like speed and crack cocaine.

btw i think based on what I've seen, it's not drugs that make majority of people homeless.  it's mental health.  it also runs high on homeless people.

i used to help a group that would go find homeless vets and help them to find food and a place to stay.  while some had a drug problem, it started after they became homeless, mental illness was top cause.

most didn't or couldn't get help. that's reality.

i quit volunteering because it takes a toll on you.  it's frustrating.

you guys want to see how homeless life is, volunteer at a soup kitchen.

I agree about mental illness being a major factor but some of that is caused by drug abuse.

I also think most of the needles I see in the street are from diabetics.

...and Dairy Queen hasn't brought back my butterscotch milk shake.

THIS. This is why I'm furious right now... 

Just hoping my southern neighbour doesn't implode. 

As entertaining it is to watch for us Canucks, nobody wants people to suffer or die from stupidity. Ya'll keep safe down there.

I'm now self-quarantined at home.  And I have Ketchup chips. And Ranch Doritos.

So lets just make it a sanctuary city and allow more poor immigrants from Mexico and south america to flood the population so that the mental crisis continues to expand! Oh and let's give them handouts so they take the money that would be used for mental health and send it back to Mexico while they work under the table and dont pay taxes. YAY for smart policies. 

Why is it that California, especially San Fran, have such a higher rate of mental illness than any other state? 

Why is it that Seattle and Portland have higher rates of mental illness than most other states?

Why do they keep raising taxes telling me they are going to solve problems, but the problems get worse and worse?

ok dude, please tell me which department hands out free money to illegal aliens.  cause I'm pretty sure i can pass for one and I want free money too.

and again California has more mental illness than let's say any state in the south is because we have more people.

and i have no idea why that keep taxing you more on your home.  i don't know where you live, but you do. so do something about it if it bothers you instead if asking us ti fix it.

most diabetics use injection devices instead of needles. 

drug users keep their needles, they aren't single use.  while you can find them discarded, i don't think it's all over the place.

fun fact, casinos around here have boxes in bathrooms to dispose if syringes.

That'll solve it 

No problem here, as long as they can continue to the drug trade and allow the cartels and mafia to take over the state.

Rush does have a good point.
Why doesnt California have as big of an outbreak and deaths of New York, given that they would have a much larger impact from travelers from China. It really doesn't make sense.

I would suggest that if either of you have been snoring that you consider having a sleep apnea test.  It is thought to be one of the great silent killers.  Loud snoring is one of the signs to watch out for.  The test can be as simple as using a device at home for a night.

I'm talking about the needles I see here in the street. I worked with a diabetic who had needles.  He didn't normally need shots all the time but he'd drink soda until he had a problem then take a shot. It may be different where you are.

i call bs to friends and family.  i was in San fransisco last August,  did i see homeless? i did.  did i see poop all over the place, no.  does it happen, yes, is it all over the place? no. are sidewalls closed due to people sleeping there, maybe, is it all over the place, no. are the streets closed? no that i saw.

same for Los angels, there's a district called skid row, homeless congregate there, they clean it up once in a while, but they come back. is it all over the place? no.  skid row isn't exactly in the tourist places.

just like the city i live in.  fridays we would go to the moose lodge and buy left over diners.  walk to another bar and give it the homeless we found, probably 6 or 7.

cesspool? yeah i agree some places are, and i don't go there,  but it's just like in every city in the country.

btw, San Francisco is a boring tourist attraction, other than Alcatraz, muir woods, Chinese district and fisherman's wharf, there isn't anything else, and you can do all of that in 2 days.  if you can stand there cold during the summer.

Who will really be sacrificed if the economy crashes?

Either way the same segment of society will be changed forever
