The only assholes I've heard against this are rentiers. They fear their payment streams will be permanently altered. No, you dumb fucks, just paused. And your obligations will be paused too! No harm to anyone.

And the rentiers aren't going to be getting paid anyway. Whether by edict today, at great saving of lives, or by natural economic forces later, with consequential huge cost of lives, The Economy Will Shut Down. Pick which way: Forbearance, or carnage?

Closing the borders makes no f*cking difference now, and it's pathetic that people like him feel they have to say sh*t like that to get credibility with racist *ssholes in the White House to be taken seriously on the other stuff.
