Excellent read.

It is disgraceful that our politicians are unable to work out an agreement. Millions of Americans will end up homeless and hungry if they can't get a package through.

Pricing ourselves out of the global market is what got us into this problem.

If you read Fox, the labor market is doing great! If you read CNN, it's dismal.

So true. This is a great idea. I think I'm reaching a mid-life crisis and need a change like this. The year of Covid has really made me reevaluate my priorities.

It could be more often than that. Group a larger group together like A through E. The key is to just make it less crowded than usual, but yes, that people would get regular "breaks" from lockdown.

I've come to the realization that lockdowns for such extended amounts of time are truly detrimental to people's health and well being (and of course the economy). But whenever lockdowns end, infections spike. I believe the option is to allow people out of their homes but on a staggered basis.

For example, allow individuals with a last name that starts with the letter A to be free to do what they want in one week, then those with the letter B the next week, and so on. This should allow some freedom while keep the number of people out and about to manageable numbers.

Of course businesses would need to be open to accommodate.

Agreed. Very little traction too unless it's a very early stage company.

The author is right about one thing. NYC always bounces back. It make take longer this time, but many will eventually return and a new generation will follow. Once they do the restaurants and other clientele will follow.

Good read.
