Fareed’s Take
Imagine you’re an American who works with his hands, & you’ve lost your job because of the lockdowns. You turn on the TV & hear medical experts, academics, technocrats & journalists explain we must keep the economy closed. All these people making that case have jobs.

Eat cheese.
Marie Antoinette may not have really said, “Let them eat cake,” but can you guess what the French are being encouraged to consume during the pandemic?
