If the question is “do governments or free markets allocate scarce resources more efficiently, in general” it’s hard to see why this is even a matter of doubt any more.

I remember reading an article a few weeks ago which stated that businesses were having trouble finding employees. The reason? Stimuli checks. Why go out and work when one can stay at home and receive the same or more money? Yet another example of government distortion in the economy.

A sad thing is how MSM peddles the narrative that the virus or the pandemic wrecked the economy. Hence, it's quite tough to explain to the average Joe that it was actually government reaction that wrecked the economy.
