I love how it seems that the entirety of the US refers to it as “lockdown,” despite most retailers being open for business, Karen bringing all 6 kids with her to Walmart, Kyle assaulting anyone who even looks like they suggest that he wear a mask, and legions of “essential workers” being treated like shit on all sides. Sure, “lockdown.”
Excuse me.
There was actually a lot of good news during that time. How quickly nature recovers when humans just collectively stop milling about for a while. Did we learn a lesson from that? I fear not. The economy needs to roll on!
We learned it is much harder to keep tabs on workers when we can’t physically see them and that is much more important than productivity.
Also that commercial real estate is more important than residential estate.
This should have been obvious since everything else about business is more important than the general public. You can commit mass murder as long as it is for profits, and if you commit fraud as a company policy then nobody goes to jail.
As far as I’ve noticed for as long as I’ve been alive, a corporation can get away with things such as:
- harm their costumers
- kill their employees
- tax evasion
- commit fraud
- bribery (lobbying)
And that is just from ths tip of my tongue, but for some reason laundering money is a big no no. I think only the alphabet bodies can get away with that.
It’s Humans, hi, we’re the problem, it’s us.
In the case of LA specifically, it’s the cars. That’s what’s changed in this picture - no cars on the road commuting to work.
How it looks on a typical day
That’s from FF7, right?

In Kenmore WA, you could hear a pin drop. The birds sang and you could hear your self think. It was weirdly quiet.
