Frankly, if every substantive viewpoint you've seen comes back to cashflow, that means you're dismissing viewpoints you don't understand as unsubstantive. A lot of people derive most of their meaning in life from hanging out with friends and working to provide for their family; they find it miserable to sit on their butts all day watching Netflix, even if the government keeps them well fed.

The context is "re-open the economy", and so I was referring to the economic arguments. One doesn't have to just sit around watching movies. Doing so is a choice. For example, catch up on those home improvement projects you've been putting off - that is providing for your family. People that enjoy being productive will generally find a way to be productive outside the economic structure. This is still Hacker News, right?
