CPAC Attendee Tests Positive for Coronavirus. For those of you not deep in politics, that's the big annual conservative conference, guest starring our American President and VP.
America is Panic-Buying Ammunition and Japanese Twitter is Really Confused
I think there's a lot of panic that isn't founded, caused by the coronavirus. Our annual influenza is still worse. But that's okay, because I think the panic is really useful for society right now. First of all, I feel like the stock market was way too high, and due for a correction. The economy is also too interconnected, and thus not resilient to disasters in any one of the major economies. This too was revealed.
The second thing is that an economic slowdown gives us something of a breather on climate. Pollution dropped quite a lot in 2008, and I expect it will again for the next year or so. I'm so desperate here I'll take anything I can get. By the time the economy gets rolling again, we can have more efficient processes to roll out -- and people will be even more interested in buying and producing local.
