* Homeschooling - Many parents will realize how fast and better their kids learned in a couple of hours than in days of school. Or resolved long term difficulties in a couple of lessons, where as the kid had been struggling all year with the topic in Public School. Flash Cards, Hooked on Phonics Apps, and all kinds of Homeschooling stuff is doing well.

* Remote Working - Bean Counters will see mucho savings in utility and other costs while work gets done, "Hey, 3/4 of our staff can be remote at least 3 days a week, we could cancel the lease and utilities on an entire floor or building and save a million bucks!" in Businesses that previously refused to experiment.

* Remote Learning - Many Universities are now deploying post Spring Break classes online, including ones that were originally classroom based. Will also discover huge savings in infrastructure costs, students will also like it.

* Localized Production - Especially for essentials and emergency equipment. Supply chains connecting to the Turd World will no longer look so good

* Warehousing - Many businesses will cry over lost profits from depending on Just in Time inventory. "We coulda made bank on toilet paper, mac n' cheese, instant potatoes, and masks, if only we had some in inventory! We lost a lot more in potential profit in a month than years of warehousing would cost!"

* Household Appliances - People will finally replace the spill-prone coffee machine after having to deal with it 3x a day for a month, whereas before it was only used once or on the weekends.

ADDED:
* Pharma - FDA reforms cause massive competition as small biotechs are able to complete product development in a shorter, more streamlined process without needing years and years of maintaining super expensive facilities and staff without profit. New Drugs are kicked into High Gear.

This gets exposed for the sham it's been in the end.
People are going to be disgusted.

I expect a bigger can do spirit coming to America, and reckoning coming for the Globalists.

Small Business is about to boom, large corporations are going to fail as people pull their money out of 401K's to invest in their own lives and businesses.

Don’t do that. You’ll take a 46-53% haircut on your money. The taxes are fucking insane. Let it ride on blue chips and watch the numbers go up by 30% this year. That’s the smart move

Parents are going to say "I helped my 12 year old get on track with Algebra in 3 or 4 hour long lessons, and I'm just a office clerk at an insurance office, I don't even have a Bachelor's Degree, much less Education Degree. WHAT THE FUCK are they doing in that school, he's been behind all year!"

School is fucking childcare dude, I've had my kids home for a week and I'm ready to kill them. So no, people wont line up to school their own kids.

I would add healthcare to the mix, like as in universal healthcare. So many people will get crazy bill's, many will lose their employer coverage and many wont be able to pay for personal insurance. A large amount of people might be thinking universal ain't that bad.

This. It's one thing to help kids with their homework and explain some concept they didn't grasp at school now and than and it's a whole 'nother animal to work from home full-time WHILE teaching your kids.

I'm glad our private school is doing 100% live video classes making sure kids are sitting on their asses during school hours and are fully engaged.

Local public school district sent out links to some learning material and pretty much said "it's on you, go teach your kids yourself".

Hahahahaha !

I'm glad you are finding this amusing but I'm reporting from the fuckign trenches here as I have kids in both private and public schools. Our public school teacher did zoom conf with her class one time last week for 30 minutes only to let kids socialize with their classmates. For everything else it's Google Classroom, Zern and such. Which elementary school kid can't do by himself for simple reason that he lacks the self-discipline and requires somebody to supervize him all the fucking time, just like they do in class.

So yeah, ha fucking ha-ha.

The panic is a political exercise at public perception, panic and social control. It will end abruptly for economic reasons. When people stop paying loans, when corporate profits start falling, and, most importantly tax bases start drying up summoning the hidden underskirts of glaring deficits in already toxic political machines, the powers that be will be on the horn to their lobbyists and political flunkies to make this all go away.

It will probably happen quite suddenly, and the same fake news that stoked the panic will start minimizing and reducing it. It will all suddenly become 'manageable', and no more pictures of dead babies and intensive care units filled with bodies. Coronavirus will evaporate from the public consciousness like snow in June.

Cratering Trump's economy worked, but keeping it derailed will likely require further acts of social and political sabotage.

There are cost benefits to outsourcing to countries with no human rights and no pollution laws like China, but the dependency is unacceptable for anything important. OK for toys, not OK for pharmaceuticals.

Maybe a good compromise is half-local. That is, try to produce half of everything essential domestically if you can, for security. And outsource the other half, for cost savings. In an emergency, you'll get by, and in the normal case, you'll save some money compared to all-local production.

BTW, the Irish consistently pronounce "third" as "turd". Always amusing to hear.

Well, it would be nice, but the swamp is already demanding that the dependency on Chinese drug imports continue unabated:

BASIC universal health care is a great thing, but it has to be limited or the medical lobbyists will ensure that every single penny everyone makes goes to ever more expensive treatments.

All the basic stuff like doctor's visits and vaccinations should be covered by expanded Medicare funded by taxes, and emergency care should have fixed prices set by law, but really expensive iffy treatments should NOT be included. There is no limit to those. How much the plan covers should be limited by the life expectancy of the person from well-known actuarial tables. The country has to get over the idea that people live forever. They do not.

Yup, also came to this conclusion a long time ago, even as a kid, thinking "Why the fuck are we here? No one in this class is learning anything."

So what we have is socialized childcare to a large degree. And it's necessary if both parents need to go to work to pay that mortgage so that bankers can get that interest.

Encouraging women to work plays right into the hands of bankers.

Education Degree

Education degree is worse than having no education whatsoever.
