So what does this crisis say about libertarianism when it takes socialism to protect capitalism!
- Is emergency relief really socialism, though?Gnash
- Ask 2.3 million Venezuelans (7% of population), who fled their country********
- Don’t get it twisted, it’s Americanism not Socialism.robotron3k

- My logic brings all the tards to the yard. And I'm like. It's better than yours.monoboy

- temporary socialism is beneficial during a crisis (like in 2008) but not sustainable long run. 20 years of socialism in Venezuela & now looks like a war zonehotroddy
- I agree with Hotty.utopian
- True. If you define socialism entirely by the Venezuelan model.monoboy
- Likewise if you judge capitalism by the American model.monoboy
- The proposed UK model to pay 80% of wages for those not working in coronavirus crisis for the extent of the crisis seems appropriate and measured.utopian
- The 'socialism' we experienced in 2008 was a bailout of the banking system propped up by selling US bonds to communist China.monoboy
- Taxpayers always get bill when shit hits the fan but don't share in the spoils during the good times.monoboy
- If any of the major corporates sitting on billions of cash reserves step in to evert this disaster I'll happily concede the neoliberalism won the day.monoboy
- #avertmonoboy
- We'll have an entirely new outlook by the end of 2020.monoboy
- A free market where only the strong survive or something more mutual, with better distribution of wealth.monoboy
- Covid19 is not altering the status quo. Rather, it's exposing an unsustainable status quo for what it always was.monoboy
- fuck this, gimme those cash!grafician
- When was the last time capitalism operated without socialized corporate protection or public absorption of losses?i_monk
- < Exactly.monoboy
- This kind of of justified libertarianism. No way is it socialism protecting capitalism. It's full blown mmt bailing out a special kind socialism********
- Socialism has always protected capitalism. People just call it government subsidies and public investments.monoboy
- That isn't protection. It's rust and decay********
- Entropy as mono always says********
- Free market ultras believe that everything should be allowed to fail. So why won't you let it?monoboy
- Fossil fuel is killing the planet yet Government subsidies are enormous.monoboy
- Let it fail, there are alternatives.monoboy
- But they won't because their grip on powers is absolute.monoboy
- Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.monoboy
- Mono u think fossil fuels is killing the planet. Remove it and think about the eco omic consequences and life changes********
- As far as letting things fail. Well that's the socialism aspect that doesn't allow it. Gov agencies creating distortions********
- What u think u want u are getting in spades right now. U just have no idea what u asked for********
- Chug that kool-aid.i_monk
- Think about the economic consequences. Deathboy, you're so close to getting it.monoboy
- I'm so close... Ok explain your outcome of the consequences********

Thousands of small businesses are going to go under and probably take small property management companies and landlords (etc) with them, while the corporate infrastructure of large businesses and multinationals will continue to exist six, nine or twelve months from now. They'll fire thousands of workers and be in a position to hire them back later (likely with government help that will never need to be repaid), while there will be no trace left of the small businesses—the owners will be forced to move on and work elsewhere, their staff will be out of work and take whatever they can get, the property and such will be auctioned off and spaces left to sit vacant (lots of places slashed taxes for vacant commercial space).My sister and brother-in-law opened an award-winning restaurant a year ago (the anniversary was last week), and had to fire all the staff the other day. It's now just my b-i-l in the kitchen cooking for delivery, but they don't know day to day whether they should be ordering supplies and keep going, whether financial aid will kick in, etc.

In the USA, health care is tied to your job. No job, no health care. So much of the US system is a house of cards just waiting to collapse in a disaster like this.
