Hey it's ya girl Onevest Twovests coming at y'all Wiser Sager Folks with Potentially Ignorant or Embarrassing Questions that I Am Uncomfortable Asking In Other Spaces.

My vague understanding of the Economy is that while cash flows, so do goods like Medicines and Staple foods and also Taxes and Wages, and while it Doesn't, this stagnates.

A Scary Thing that I understand to be happening is that the complex industrial relationships are starting to slow down and halt, meaning it'll become more difficult to make important goods. Capitalism machine broke under this stress and we really should have had a Communism machine or something like that, y'know? I assume we can't have facemasks or medicines or whatnot if there aren't workers and factories and distribution lines to get them out?

What's scary is that from my uneducated dunce seat, we might be put in a position to end stay-at-home orders early to keep the Capitalism machine pumping out goods, for fear that we might lose more lives from the economic downturn. (I'd attach an appropriate SBAHJ comic, but it appears the site is now dead.)

Anyways, my sparing 20-something year old intellect fails to have any other useful thoughts on the matter, and trying to use the internet to find answers just gives me investing advice and conservatives ranting in cars, and most of my friends know even less about the economy than I do. I'm now open and excited for your more intelligent thought answers, to which I will probably reply something along the lines of "I have nothing to add, but thank you for detailing this, this really informed me"
