Yeah I'll try explaining it to him. The thing is, he has a strong normalcy bias, so whenever I tell him that there is something bad on the horizon, he says that it'll work out, the economy won't crash, when the vaccine comes out the lockdowns will lift and so on. It's frustrating. But I will make a case for it by gathering data and showing it to him. There is one thing he agreed with and that is that bigger businesses are using this crisis to buy up failing smaller business / filling the void in the market they leave behind. So, I'll try to make him understand but before that I need to research this. I'll come back to you.
Yeah that's solid advice. Steamrolling him with dooms day predictions wouldn't work, it just triggers "everything's gonna be alright" responses. I'll just share some information that made me think about the economy and our business in the future and discuss it with him. I already make predictions that I trust will happen and then when they happen I can say: "told ya" :) For example, I told him that Trump will win in 2016 and he said "naaah" and then he won and I told him that he will win the re election and when Biden "won" I told him they stole it and there's no way Trump will let this slide. But he always goes with "naaah" because he listens to the mainstream media. Oh well, but I'll discuss the covid-economic decline-chicken feed cost-monopolization of businesses situation with him.
