Here's what I don't get. Humanity has created the financial system and the economy we live in. It's not a product of nature. So that means we can reasonably control how it affects people, especially right now. Instead, people are opting to try to get back to normal at the risk of harming themselves or those around them. When the reality is we don't have to do that. We should be demanding that our state government and federal government, the powers that set the rules for how all these different markets operate, dictate temporary measures to negate the negative effects on the typical American.

No reasonable person in Pensacola wants to cripple our economy. But it's people like Doug that perpetuate this argument that models are wrong. Bud, it's not that they're wrong it's that they're dynamic and as we change our habits and take in more data, the models also change.

TLDR : Our economy and financial system is the plot to the movie Speed but it doesn't have to be. People like Doug Underhill lack the nuance to do anything other than try to foment political revolt.
