To many government officials, this is but collateral damage, only minorly detracting from an otherwise successful centrally-planned distribution system. ... |
Donald Boudreaux, AIER "Where I see liberal civilization being brutally transformed by a Covidocracy into what David Hart calls a 'hygiene socialist' society, other people see civilization being compassionately reset into a safer and more humane arrangement in which, presumably, no one ever again will be killed or... |
