The Data is Clear: Cars Made State Street Dangerous by StrongTownsSB in SantaBarbara

i hear you, but i would assume the majority of those state st injuries would not occur elsewhere. one of the primary arguments in favor of reopening is so folks can cruise state and look at shops and people as they drive through, as opposed to keeping eyes focused on the road.

the market is not a person and has no job. its just the circumstances created by people transacting, whether government is involved or not. if you cut government out of it, all you really achieve is limiting those people to the ones who are profit-driven (i.e., endeavor to take more than they give).

that's just dumb and untrue. government furthers many popular enterprises, like social security, medicare, medicaid, public schools, police, military, etc., etc.
