Topic: Crisis will be new normal but its not bad - page 2. (Read 838 times)

It is clear that shutting down economic activities cannot be a long-term solution for low-income countries. So many countries have now relaxed the lockdown but the decision is extremely risky, if the lockdown is lifted in countries without a clear plan to get out of the crisis, the epidemic could take shape. The economy has made this decision to improve but it is possible to overcome the effects of the crisis if the social is maintained fast. This is why everyone is instructed to walk after the mask with social distance.

The economy of most countries has changed due to some factors that were beyond human control, crisis is never an option.
Earlier this year, the US and Iran mini war drive increase in weapons, gold and stocks in general but what happen when coronavirus escalated? The whole world was in chaos, fear and uncertainty of after the lock down. Human being can make treat but the mind is programmed with fear that's why no one want crisis.

Recall the day Donald Trump tested positive to coronavirus, the whole market was down because of fear, uncertainty and disinformation. I can speak confidently that Africa coronavirus cases has reduced and things are coming back to normal.

We are absolutely living now in a new normal way. Though some countries economy are slowly opening this time, we  still need to take extra precautions in so many ways because the virus is still here around us. I think I got your point that amidst of this crisis, all our bills and debts forgiven by the Governments and the concerned parties. Well, the way I understand it here in my country, debts and bills are still continuously  running each month, though they implemented a law that will prolong the payment period to give time for people to find a job and other earning points and restore the financial losses that we had now. It doesn't mean that bills and other debts will be forgiven and gone, its still here. And printing more money/fiat currencies and crisis within a crisis is not the best solution. We need to stand up, go out, face the virus and find some job to earn and pay our bills. We need to embrace the new normal kind of living.

Adjustments has been done from different countries, leaders see the needs of reopening the business allowing people to go out with implemented preventive equipment in order to go out and find the new normal ways of living.

It's us the people who needed to workout and find ways to continue life, there are many open opportunities after this pandemic and with your desire to survive you'll do anything find one that's fits you and continue living even from this new normal situation.

An increase in the funds of the military doesn't mean order and peace. If you think about it, this can cause further destruction to what the citizens envision. Yes, the military can be equal to strength but the one in control of this power has greater strength. It is all about the one who manages this all throughout that depends on his intention for either to provide peace or war. This was proven in Thailand for what we see for these past few months. Their government has been abusing the power of the military to suppress democracy within the country, silencing people who voice out their cry about the misdeeds of their own government. This malpractice must be stopped at all cost, and this can only be attained if the people in the higher seats listen and do not abuse the power given to them.

Crisis as a new normal on the other hand is not a pretty good idea to think about. We can't just normalize a crisis just because it is what we experience for a period of time. We must change this way of thinking and try to get back the TRUE normal that we have before this pandemic.

It only takes one superpower and a lot of weak ones to ignite yet another cruel chapter in the history of mankind. If not for the continuous upgrades of the military on different countries, there will be more bullies around than there are peace in this world. While it is true that most of their aim is to control, having a lot of enemies aiming for the same goal makes you want to think a million times before doing something rash, and the end result is peace. Tension in dualities, yes, but it has worked thus far after the Cold War.

We may not be resuming our previous activities sooner, but it obviously helped change some things, most especially our views about epidemics and how important science is on this charted yet still murky waters of viruses and how they can change the world in an instant. It's not a good thing that a huge event like this has to happen first before we realize it since many people died, but it's not, overall, a bad thing.

The economy on the other hand is on a tricky spot. Stimulus funds won't last forever, and at some point, jobs need to resume in order for people to earn some money for their family. It wouldn't be possible for the government to accommodate to all of its citizens needs, so it's kinda hard to jumpstart an economy with those trillions of dollars only for the momentum to get lost almost immediately once the funds dry up.

If lockdown in different part of the world will continues, only rich people can overcome the crisis. In my country, there is still a lockdown but not strictly as what before. We can go outside with facemask, we can ride to public transportation and go to the mall (except for the kids). Yet, it is not strict but we felt that old normal is far than what is currently happening right now. If we want to survive, we should ourselves in finding a job even there is a pandemic or else we will gonna die because of famine. I hope this crisis will ends at the end of the year together with the hates and dramas of the world.

The normal is sometimes so confusing because we think it is normal to burn fuel with the speed we are burning now but it is nor normal and we will see a crisis for fuel in future and similarly for water and everything. There are times when people say we have crisis of water today but the truth is we are just learning to live with the future normal.

I believe the new normal is actually good because it gives us a mirror image of what would happen in the future if we live with the current normal and wasting money was a normal for us and now that we face some tough times we call it a crisis. This is just called as poor planning and no future savings. The more we spend now the lesser we have in future be it water, fossil fuels, resources and even money and if you call it crisis now then future is bleak.

We can't just continuously printing more money because too much of it can make our money worthless. The higher the supply of money rather than the demand may cause an inflation and if this occurs the many people will be affected of it. Another thing is, yes we still need order and peace that's why government increases the salary of our military and hire many of them as possible. This new normal is really weird and we are not used to it. Health sector is the one who is greatly affected and our country is already in debt. If the actions of the government and its people will not improve then crisis as a new normal is a bad thing for us.

countries that invest too heavily in the military are countries that aim to control not provide peace..

the power of the people is just the sweet words of the democratic system, in real life (democracies) never listen to the voice of the people, all decisions are only based on the interests of those in power..

the police will not be able to end their atrocities. Seeing from the history of the police for the first time being formed that to "monitor black slaves in the US", until now they are a security tool of the government..

Trump focuses on himself only, he don't care about the majority that are seeking help amidst this pandemic.

I don't think that the new normal will help most of the people in their needs to sustain their lives. The power that the Trump have is used in a wrong way, we all know that he is racist and he us only focused about his own advocacy, which is pro-white people. US should have the proper democracy that they deserve so that Trump can really make America great again in the eyes of his people.

LOL.  

They do give jobs since they are also consumers afterward.
It will just circulate until we end up being hit in the head and look for another job or just make our own business.
The thing is, they love that kind of circulation. That way, they will stay on the top or as we call them, "elites".
While they provide jobs to keep us under them.

Different crisis will be properly managed if the leaders of the country won't apply strong force like wars because it will definitely affect humans particularly those innocent ones. Yes destruction will be expected to happen in such country that will allow wars to happen using the military and police force just to combat the ongoing crisis.

But does it make any sense investing more money in military and other things like that? Don’t you think that by doing that they are encouraging the crisis to keep moving?

I know that our government and those elites are interested in crisis that benefits them in one way or the other, since they are all evil. How about they start investing those money in places where it matters, like creating job opportunities enough so that people will have jobs to be able to afford for their feeding, and also help the poor people in the community? How about them trying to make peace and maintain it, instead of fighting wars all the time? Crisis will only lead us to destruction and nothing more.

Many countries have already lifted the community quarantine lockdown, and they started to open their economy back, so everyone could go back to their jobs and revive their economy. As long as we follow the safety protocols during the pandemic, such as wearing a facemask, face shields, and social distancing when going outside, we can prevent spreading the virus in our country and we can slowly go back to normal again.

It will take a long time for the crisis to return to normal the crisis has made the lives of ordinary people including the country's economy much worse lockdown is an effective way to slow down the spread of the virus but the problem is that if the lockdown situation continues for a long time it could have huge negative effects on employment the economy mental health and social order especially where the social safety net is limited. So while the rich have the power to overcome the economic crisis caused by the lockdown how far can the low and middle-income states survive in a reality that puts people in more trouble.

There is no one who can change the world because each countries has their own policies and dreams in their specific government and Trump has no right to change others,and besides why not change His own country first because their economy is really that bad now compared to what is US 20 years in past.
We have already experienced that,the People Power that turns into Bloodless revolution and bring the former president down without any casualties .

The panic words like "crisis" are used way too often by people. For example, the Cape Town water crisis was a moderate crisis. The Ethiopian and Bangladesh famines were true crisis.

Not being able to buy a new 40" OLED for Christmas because the US government is not giving a new round of stimulus is not a crisis.

Development needs to be balanced for general growth of the whole country. And this is about equity for all the people across all region of the country. Imbalance is a source of agitation and instability that will definitely disrupte gains made.

Democracy can be deceiving and I dont think it has been successful anywhere in the world if the system of government does not a way to check the leaders. I so much like the parliamentary system of Government practiced in the United Kingdom, where there is no sovereign power by the leaders. Some cases of shared leadership with president and prime minister without leader sole power. The excesses of Trump government with use of social media and relationship with his subordinate can be too mush
