There is the potential for a lot of positive and a lot of negative paradigm shifts to come out of this event. We could see all of the world's government spend what is needed to be spent and then have everyone excuse that debt by the lowest common denominator in essence truly creating a universal write off that leaves them all positioned where they were prior to the crisis. And we could see infrastructure and vital products once again returned to locations internal the United States. I would consider all of those to be good paradigm shifts.
Or we could go to the dark side using the crisis to force a cashless society where everyone's funds could be manipulated electronically by the government. Or see the virus used as an excuse to nationalize healthcare thereby relieving the insurance companies less than a decade short of their projected payouts of end of life issues for Boomers. And we could see the state of crisis itself used to dramatically enhance the control and reach of the Federal Government.
Either way I feel that the public's will be bypassed in the name of expediency.
Already they are saying if you aren't set up with direct deposit for the IRS that you may not get your stimulus until August, and they are encouraging people to set up direct deposit online (the last damn place I would want to give account information). Now this could be innocuous enough if it weren't for the fact that such arrangements create a double window in which alleged overpayments can be withdrawn, or funds attached more directly if the IRS screws up and says you owe more than you paid. It's a much riskier proposition than just writing them a check, or receiving one that you deposit yourself.
The push has been for cashless here for a long long time within the government itself. The resistance has been strong, and should be. You lose all privacy and independence when you lose cash.
What's worse is that such a system and the current crisis could easily be used to push a Pan American and Pan European common electronic currency or even eventually a world currency. And the same corporate banks and the same Central Banking system would control it. No Thanks!
So far the alarming things to me are the wake up call for lack of essential supplies due to "globalism" in production, and outsourcing specifically, and the lack of drills to reveal to the emergency response mechanism the errors in their implementation models.
So we are long on miscalculations and chain of command issues at the state and local level, and short on essential materials, and none of that is Trump's fault, he's just the poor bastard that has to deal with decades of government bureaucratic cluster shucking.
But the enemies of freedom are long on using the situation to exploit the people.
We'll see how we come out of this but I think at best it's going to be mixed. We will likely see the necessity of controlling production for emergency reasons from within our country, but I fear in the process of acting on that resolve more of our rights and freedoms are about to be eroded in the name of protection.
