That is fundamentally a political issue. Amazon, and Instacart and other direct to consumer business models could easily be nationalized. This event is fundamentally different that the structural issues that undergird the 2008 financial crisis. This is a supply shock followed by a demand shock, not a structural financial shock as we witnessed in 2008. Conflating the two does not do anyone any good.

That this is a different type of shock than 2008 doesn't change the reality that things only happen if enough people work to make it happen. If you don't think a really bad path is possible where things get worse (just like a good path is possible!) then you're only fooling yourself.
