I’ve seen stories about other countries beginning to implement work from home, mandating places shut down by a certain time, etc. Would the US government start doing similar things out of necessity? I imagine things getting more expensive will do that naturally but probably not to the levels needed if oil goes to $200. Can’t imagine the current admin jumping to enforce anything that looks like a Covid shutdown though. Just curious what people here think, because it seems like it’s going to get tight sooner rather than later.


The original image I remember the bloke is much smaller and not in the foreground. This looks edited.
