And the REAL real problem is that the market will bare a lot. I once sold tickets for a Die Antwoord concert I couldn't attend due to illness. I advertised the tickets on Craigslist for $100 for both, the retail cost being $50 each.

But when I arrived at the venue to sell the tickets, the buyer put $200 in front of my face assuming I had meant $100 EACH. My greed got to me and I took the money.

My conclusion was, ticket buying is not rational, and the ticket market is extremely liquid, so without tying tickets to an identity like airline tickets there isn't a good solution.

The study aside, it would reduce MY willingness to work and I have to imagine there are a lot of people, working a lot shittier jobs, out there who feel the same. In the end, the jobs still need to be done, so wages will need to go up, and the cost of the thing these jobs produce will go up, and then, inflation. Isn't that obvious?

My kid is <6 and goes to a private daycare run by a publicly traded company in partnership with my wife's employer, a large biotech.

They figured out PPE and distancing protocols about six weeks after initial shutdown and all kids were back in class. To our knowledge, there were no known covid outbreaks (all parents and staff are emailed when a staff or student is diagnosed).

Capitalism wins again.
