minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-27 months agoThis sounds nice and pithy but it’s exactly what I repeated to conservatives throughout the pandemic. Cons: “No one around me is dying and we’re all fine. I went to the hospital and it’s empty. What’s the big deal???” Everyone with half a brain: “You’re talking about anecdotes. What matters is the data and it’s damning. Lots of people are dying.” Edit: To clarify, I mean that this applies to the economy as a whole. Not that everyone does well when the market does.
