newswars--2020-07-16--Soon, You Will Need To Wear A Mask To Enter Virtually Every Major Retail Store In America

If you are adamant about not wearing a mask , you are not going to like this news one bit .
Coming into this week , Costco , Starbucks , Best Buy and Panera Bread were requiring customers to wear masks to come into their stores , but most other major retailers were still giving people the freedom to choose whether they wanted to wear a mask or not .
I know that a lot of people appreciated this freedom to choose , but it is about to come to an abrupt end .
On Wednesday , Walmart and Kroger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ require consumers to wear masks in all of their stores , and the National Retail Federation is pushing all of the rest of their members to do the same thing .
Lenin was right : “ Capitalists will sell the rope used to hang them ” .
In this case mask regulations .
Business owners have been turned into quislings of the state in a desperate attempt to survive .
But the health regulations & panic they are enforcing will strangle them soon .
In the days ahead it is expected that most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that means that soon there will be very few major retail stores that you are able to enter without wearing a mask .
Walmart says that they decided to make this change in order to “ bring consistency ” across all of their stores .
The following comes from the official Walmart website… As the number of confirmed cases has spiked in communities across the country recently , so too have the number and types of face covering mandates being implemented .
Currently about 65 percent of our more than 5,000 stores and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is some form of government mandate on face coverings .
To help bring consistency across stores and clubs , we will require all shoppers to wear a face covering starting Monday , July 20 .
This will give us time to inform customers and members of the changes , post signage and train associates on the new protocols .
In the region of the country where I live , there are a ton of people that feel very strongly about not wearing masks , and this announcement is going to hit them really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ within a 90 minute drive of where I live , and virtually everyone in the region pops in there at some point .
But now those that do not want to wear masks will be excluded , and there will be some very hard feelings over this .
If you try to enter a Walmart without a mask next week , you will be greeted at the door by a “ Health Ambassador ” wearing a black shirt .
I find it very interesting that they specifically chose the color black , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helpful if they had chosen a more friendly color .
In any event , these new positions are being created in order to ensure that only people wearing masks are able to get into the stores .
Of course Walmart is trying to make this sound as non-threatening as possible… In addition to posting clear signage at the front of our stores , Walmart has created the role of Health Ambassador and will station them near the entrance to remind those without a mask of our new requirements .
Our ambassadors will receive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as smooth as possible for customers .
The ambassadors , identifiable by their black polo shirts , will work with customers who show up at a store without a face covering to try and find a solution .
We are currently considering different solutions for customers when this requirement takes effect on July 20 .
Needless to say , this announcement by Walmart is likely to spark an avalanche of other announcements by major retailers .
In fact , Kroger made an announcement just hours after Walmart did… And as I mentioned above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pushing all of their members to fall in line… We will be told that this is just a “ temporary ” thing , but at what point will we be able to start shopping without masks again ?
It certainly won ’ t be any time in 2020 .
This week , CDC director Robert Redfield said that he anticipated that this fall and winter “ are probably going to be one of the most difficult times that we ’ ve experienced in American public health ” … I am worried .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 2020 and 2021 are probably going to be one of the most difficult times that we ’ ve experienced in American public health because of what you said — the co-occurrence of Covid and influenza , and this is where I ’ d like to continue to work with you to get the American public to embrace the influenza vaccine so we can try to minimize the impact of inluenza , because I think those two respiratory pathogens hitting us at the same time do have the potential to stress our health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be forced to wear masks until the pandemic ends .
But what if this pandemic lasts for years ?
A couple days ago , I authored an article in which I discussed three separate scientific studies which all showed that COVID-19 antibodies disappear very , very rapidly .
In fact , some patients no longer had detectable antibodies just weeks after originally testing positive for antibodies .
What this means is that it appears that COVID-19 is very similar to many other less dangerous coronaviruses that are floating around out there .
Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ the common cold ” , there also appears to be no lasting immunity to COVID-19 .
That means that no “ vaccine ” is going to save us , we will never get to the point of “ herd immunity ” , and this virus will circulate all over the globe year after year .
So does this mean that wearing masks will now become a permanent requirement in our society ?
We should certainly hope that won ’ t be the case , but unfortunately we aren ’ t the ones @ @ @ @

Within hours, Kroger — the largest U.S. supermarket chain — said it will also require shoppers to wear masks starting July 22.
And as I mentioned above, the National Retail Federation is already pushing all of their members to fall in line…
The president of the National Retail Federation trade group wants retailers to adopt a nationwide policy that requires customers to wear masks, and hopes Walmart’s decision to do so would galvanize other companies to take similar action, reports Reuters. “Shopping in a store is a privilege, not a right. If a customer refuses to adhere to store policies, they are putting employees and other customers at undue risk,” the NRF says.
We will be told that this is just a “temporary” thing, but at what point will we be able to start shopping without masks again?
It certainly won’t be any time in 2020. This week, CDC director Robert Redfield said that he anticipated that this fall and winter “are probably going to be one of the most difficult times that we’ve experienced in American public health”…
I am worried. I do think the fall and the winter of 2020 and 2021 are probably going to be one of the most difficult times that we’ve experienced in American public health because of what you said — the co-occurrence of Covid and influenza, and this is where I’d like to continue to work with you to get the American public to embrace the influenza vaccine so we can try to minimize the impact of inluenza, because I think those two respiratory pathogens hitting us at the same time do have the potential to stress our health system.
Ultimately, we will probably be forced to wear masks until the pandemic ends.
But what if this pandemic lasts for years?
A couple days ago, I authored an article in which I discussed three separate scientific studies which all showed that COVID-19 antibodies disappear very, very rapidly. In fact, some patients no longer had detectable antibodies just weeks after originally testing positive for antibodies.
What this means is that it appears that COVID-19 is very similar to many other less dangerous coronaviruses that are floating around out there. Just like there is no lasting immunity to “the common cold”, there also appears to be no lasting immunity to COVID-19.
That means that no “vaccine” is going to save us, we will never get to the point of “herd immunity”, and this virus will circulate all over the globe year after year.
So does this mean that wearing masks will now become a permanent requirement in our society?
We should certainly hope that won’t be the case, but unfortunately we aren’t the ones making the decisions.

Despite the artist claiming it would be “extremely difficult to move,” council contractors removed the Reid statue at roughly 5:20am local time on Thursday morning.
London artist Marc Quinn previously admitted that his statue of Black Lives Matter protester Jen Reid was “not a permanent artwork.”
Quinn said he was inspired after seeing Reid standing on the empty plinth after protesters removed the original statue and unceremoniously dumped it in the harbor.
His piece is named ‘A Surge of Power (Jen Reid)’, and it will now be kept at a city museum where Quinn can either collect it or donate it, according to a tweet from the council.
Reid herself said she would “like the council to keep it [on the plinth], because obviously of what it represents and who was there prior,” but apparently city authorities did not agree.
Mayor Marvin Rees said that while he remained committed to building a city for all Bristolians, “the future of the plinth and what is installed on it must be decided by the people of Bristol.”

To start the interview, Witt asked the group how many unarmed black men were killed by police last year and how many unarmed white men were killed by police the same year.
All three young men guessed there were over 1,000 cases of cops killing unarmed black men, but under 20 white men killed.
They were shocked to learn only nine unarmed black men were killed by police in 2019 while 16 unarmed white men died.
The boys were also surprised that a Harvard study concluded there was no racial bias regarding 2019 police shootings.
Another study Witt cited showed cops are 18-times more likely to be killed than an unarmed black man is to be killed by police.
The young men were overall receptive of the new information presented to them and called for unity among all races.
All three admitted they learned something new from the conversation and agreed that having discussions with people who hold different points of view is important.

A city in North Carolina has voted unanimously to provide slavery reparations for black people in the form of “investments in areas where black residents face disparities.”
The City Council of Asheville passed voted 7-0 to approve the measure, which will create a Community Reparations Commission that will decide on where resources should be directed
The resolution states that black people have been unjustly enslaved, segregated and incarcerated, as well as facing discrimination in the fields of housing, public transportation and food deserts.
“Systemic racism was created over centuries and will take time to dismantle,” states the resolution, which is aimed at “increasing minority home ownership and access to other affordable housing, increasing minority business ownership and career opportunities, strategies to grow equity and generational wealth, closing the gaps in health care, education, employment and pay, neighborhood safety and fairness within criminal justice.”
Councilwoman Sheneika Smith responded to complaints from residents asking why they should pay for slavery by telling the Citizen Times, “”(Slavery) is this institution that serves as the starting point for the building of the strong economic floor for white America, while attempting to keep Blacks subordinate forever to its progress.”
Her fellow Councilman Keith Young said that removing statues was not enough and that “systemic racism” could only be ended by redistributing resources.
“Hundreds of years of black blood spilled that basically fills the cup we drink from today,” said Young.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre says that Ghislaine Maxwell ’ s life is in danger if she plans to reveal the names of powerful names who were part of Jeffrey Epstein ’ s sex trafficking ring .
During an interview with CBS This Morning earlier today , the Epstein accuser said that Maxwell was under threat due to the nature of what she knows about wealthy elitists who were involved in the scandal .
Asked by the host if she thought Maxwell ’ s “ life is in danger , ” Giuffre responded , “ Absolutely.
” “ If she squeals on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ videos on they won ’ t be happy with her talking about that , ” she added .
Giuffre said that these individuals were “ very well known names , the government officials , politicians , the royalty – they were taping everybody , every moment when you walked into the New York mansion , to Palm Beach , everything was being filmed .
The Epstein accuser reiterated that Epstein and Maxwell were blackmailing elitist acquaintances by building up an archive of compromising footage , but that those involved didn ’ t know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
According to attorney Lisa Bloom , Maxwell is unlikely to name names as part of a plea deal because she would likely face a long prison sentence anyway and would rather try to have her lawyers get the case dismissed altogether .
Maxwell purportedly has a stash of secret sex tapes in her possession that would expose powerful Epstein acquaintances .

newswars--2020-07-16--Astronomers Break Down How Galaxies Die

Astronomers Break Down How Galaxies Die

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies .
Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process , known as “ quenching , ” there is still no consensus on a satisfactory model .
Now , an international team led by Sandra Faber , professor emerita of astronomy and astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz , has proposed a new model that successfully explains a wide range of observations about galaxy structure , supermassive black holes , and the quenching of star formation .
The researchers presented their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Astrophysical Journal .
The model supports one of the leading ideas about quenching which attributes it to black hole “ feedback , ” the energy released into a galaxy and its surroundings from a central supermassive black hole as matter falls into the black hole and feeds its growth .
This energetic feedback heats , ejects , or otherwise disrupts the galaxy ’ s gas supply , preventing the infall of gas from the galaxy ’ s halo to feed star formation .
“ The idea is that in star-forming galaxies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a parasite that ultimately grows and kills the host , ” Faber explained .
“ That ’ s been said before , but we haven ’ t had clear rules to say when a black hole is big enough to shut down star formation in its host galaxy , and now we have quantitative rules that actually work to explain our observations.
” The basic idea involves the relationship between the mass of the stars in a galaxy ( stellar mass ) , how spread out those stars are ( the galaxy ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the central black hole .
For star-forming galaxies with a given stellar mass , the density of stars in the center of the galaxy correlates with the radius of the galaxy so that galaxies with bigger radii have lower central stellar densities .
Assuming that the mass of the central black hole scales with the central stellar density , star-forming galaxies with larger radii ( at a given stellar mass ) will have lower black-hole masses .
What that means , Faber explained , is that larger galaxies ( those with larger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to evolve further and build up a higher stellar mass before their central black holes can grow large enough to quench star formation .
Thus , small-radius galaxies quench at lower masses than large-radius galaxies .
“ That is the new insight , that if galaxies with large radii have smaller black holes at a given stellar mass , and if black hole feedback is important for quenching , then large-radius galaxies have to evolve further , ” she said .
“ If you put together all these assumptions , amazingly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ observed trends in the structural properties of galaxies.
” This explains , for example , why more massive quenched galaxies have higher central stellar densities , larger radii , and larger central black holes .
Based on this model , the researchers concluded that quenching begins when the total energy emitted from the black hole is approximately four times the gravitational binding energy of the gas in the galactic halo .
The binding energy refers to the gravitational force that holds the gas within the halo of dark matter enveloping the galaxy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ emitted from the black hole is twenty times the binding energy of the gas in the galactic halo .
Faber emphasized that the model does not yet explain in detail the physical mechanisms involved in the quenching of star formation .
“ The key physical processes that this simple theory evokes are not yet understood , ” she said .
“ The virtue of this , though , is that having simple rules for each step in the process challenges theorists to come up with physical mechanisms that explain each step.
” Astronomers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ diagrams that plot the relations between different properties of galaxies and show how they change over time .
These diagrams reveal the dramatic differences in structure between star-forming and quenched galaxies and the sharp boundaries between them .

The observational evidence suggests that most of the black hole growth occurs in the green valley when galaxies are beginning to quench .

“ This was a revelation , because it explains why black hole masses in star-forming galaxies follow one scaling law , while black holes in quenched galaxies follow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if black hole mass grows rapidly while in the green valley.
” Faber and her collaborators have been discussing these issues for many years .
Since 2010 , Faber has co-led a major Hubble Space Telescope galaxy survey program ( CANDELS , the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey ) , which produced the data used in this study .

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies.
Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, known as “quenching,” there is still no consensus on a satisfactory model.
Now, an international team led by Sandra Faber, professor emerita of astronomy and astrophysics at UC Santa Cruz, has proposed a new model that successfully explains a wide range of observations about galaxy structure, supermassive black holes, and the quenching of star formation. The researchers presented their findings in a paper published July 1 in the Astrophysical Journal.
The model supports one of the leading ideas about quenching which attributes it to black hole “feedback,” the energy released into a galaxy and its surroundings from a central supermassive black hole as matter falls into the black hole and feeds its growth. This energetic feedback heats, ejects, or otherwise disrupts the galaxy’s gas supply, preventing the infall of gas from the galaxy’s halo to feed star formation.
“The idea is that in star-forming galaxies, the central black hole is like a parasite that ultimately grows and kills the host,” Faber explained. “That’s been said before, but we haven’t had clear rules to say when a black hole is big enough to shut down star formation in its host galaxy, and now we have quantitative rules that actually work to explain our observations.”
The basic idea involves the relationship between the mass of the stars in a galaxy (stellar mass), how spread out those stars are (the galaxy’s radius), and the mass of the central black hole. For star-forming galaxies with a given stellar mass, the density of stars in the center of the galaxy correlates with the radius of the galaxy so that galaxies with bigger radii have lower central stellar densities. Assuming that the mass of the central black hole scales with the central stellar density, star-forming galaxies with larger radii (at a given stellar mass) will have lower black-hole masses.
What that means, Faber explained, is that larger galaxies (those with larger radii for a given stellar mass) have to evolve further and build up a higher stellar mass before their central black holes can grow large enough to quench star formation. Thus, small-radius galaxies quench at lower masses than large-radius galaxies.
“That is the new insight, that if galaxies with large radii have smaller black holes at a given stellar mass, and if black hole feedback is important for quenching, then large-radius galaxies have to evolve further,” she said. “If you put together all these assumptions, amazingly, you can reproduce a large number of observed trends in the structural properties of galaxies.”
This explains, for example, why more massive quenched galaxies have higher central stellar densities, larger radii, and larger central black holes.
Based on this model, the researchers concluded that quenching begins when the total energy emitted from the black hole is approximately four times the gravitational binding energy of the gas in the galactic halo. The binding energy refers to the gravitational force that holds the gas within the halo of dark matter enveloping the galaxy. Quenching is complete when the total energy emitted from the black hole is twenty times the binding energy of the gas in the galactic halo.
Faber emphasized that the model does not yet explain in detail the physical mechanisms involved in the quenching of star formation. “The key physical processes that this simple theory evokes are not yet understood,” she said. “The virtue of this, though, is that having simple rules for each step in the process challenges theorists to come up with physical mechanisms that explain each step.”
Astronomers are accustomed to thinking in terms of diagrams that plot the relations between different properties of galaxies and show how they change over time.

Because star formation emits a lot of light at the blue end of the color spectrum, astronomers refer to “blue” star-forming galaxies, “red” quiescent galaxies, and the “green valley” as the transition between them. Which stage a galaxy is in is revealed by its star formation rate.
One of the study’s conclusions is that the growth rate of black holes must change as galaxies evolve from one stage to the next. The observational evidence suggests that most of the black hole growth occurs in the green valley when galaxies are beginning to quench.
“The black hole seems to be unleashed just as star formation slows down,” Faber said. “This was a revelation, because it explains why black hole masses in star-forming galaxies follow one scaling law, while black holes in quenched galaxies follow another scaling law.

newswars--2020-07-16--Still Searching for That V-Shaped Recovery

New tax revenue data released by the Treasury Department on Monday shows that tax revenue further worsened in June ( compared year over year ) from May ’ s already cratering total .
On the plus side , neither May nor June has returned to April ’ s historic plunge in revenue .
As shown in June ’ s monthly Treasury statement , June ’ s total tax receipts were $ 240.8 billion .
That was down 27.8 percent year over year , a decline from May ’ s year-over-year drop of 25 percent .
This was nonetheless less of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ low in revenue growth , which hit –54.8 percent .
In spite of declining revenue , federal spending continues at a record-breaking pace .
Federal outlays surged in June to $ 1.1 trillion , a remarkable sum for a single month of spending .
In recent years , federal spending for an entire year has been between $ 4 trillion and $ 4.5 trillion .
With declining tax revenues and soaring spending , the deficit reached new highs in June as well .
June ’ s budget deficit hit $ 864 billion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ likely that the annual budget deficit will easily top $ 3 trillion , which will be well above any previous deficits .
The annual deficit reached “ only ” $ 1.4 trillion in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis .
This moderated over the next eight years , but after years of runaway spending during the Trump administration , the annual deficit again reached $ 1 trillion in 2019 .
This was a remarkable feat for a nonrecessionary period , and I warned at the time that this did not bode well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

New tax revenue data released by the Treasury Department on Monday shows that tax revenue further worsened in June (compared year over year) from May’s already cratering total.
On the plus side, neither May nor June has returned to April’s historic plunge in revenue.
As shown in June’s monthly Treasury statement, June’s total tax receipts were $240.8 billion. That was down 27.8 percent year over year, a decline from May’s year-over-year drop of 25 percent. This was nonetheless less of a plunge than April’s multidecade low in revenue growth, which hit –54.8 percent.
In spite of declining revenue, federal spending continues at a record-breaking pace. Federal outlays surged in June to $1.1 trillion, a remarkable sum for a single month of spending. In recent years, federal spending for an entire year has been between $4 trillion and $4.5 trillion.
With declining tax revenues and soaring spending, the deficit reached new highs in June as well. June’s budget deficit hit $864 billion, a new high. It is now likely that the annual budget deficit will easily top $3 trillion, which will be well above any previous deficits.
The annual deficit reached “only” $1.4 trillion in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. This moderated over the next eight years, but after years of runaway spending during the Trump administration, the annual deficit again reached $1 trillion in 2019. This was a remarkable feat for a nonrecessionary period, and I warned at the time that this did not bode well for any coming period of economic turbulence. That period has now arrived, and not surprisingly, there appears to be no end in sight to the mounting deficits.
Unemployment Numbers Climb Again
Hopes that the economy might soon roar back and bring some relief from skyrocketing deficits remain unfounded for now.
Today’s new data on initial unemployment claims brought more bad news, as more than 1 million workers filed for unemployment benefits for the seventeenth week in a row. For the week ending July 11, initial unemployment claims totaled 1.3 million, a slight decrease from the 1.31 million workers who filed for new benefits the week prior. That’s in seasonally adjusted numbers. In unadjusted numbers, new claims actually increased from the previous week, rising from 1.4 million the week of July 4 to 1.5 million last week.
Since March, 51 million American workers have filed for unemployment. As of the week of July 4, 17.3 million continue to file for claims.
Moreover, June’s tax revenue suggests that worker income has plunged with employment.
Will earnings and jobs and tax revenue come roaring back in July? This is certainly not a given. After all, many states and jurisdictions are now reimplementing business closures, shutdowns, and other measures which will surely eat away at both jobs and tax revenue. As with the first round of business closures, retail sales and food services are likely to be most immediately impacted.
But underneath those industries are a wide variety of support industries, from janitorial to bookkeeping to commercial real estate, all of which will affect both blue-collar and white-collar hiring.
Tax Hikes on the Horizon?
As earnings and retail sales plunge, the greatest danger to economic recovery lies in the decline of state and local taxes. The threat does not lie with the tax declines themselves, but with the expected policy reaction. As school districts, city governments, and state legislatures face immense shortfalls in revenue, many are now increasingly talking about large tax increases to fill the budget hole. This will be crippling for businesses seeking to come back from the current round of business closures and the collapse in consumer demand for many services and products. Tax increases will cripple the ability of entrepreneurs to shift resources to more in-demand industries and start up new businesses where old ones fail.
Facing uncertainty about both tax increases and the threat of ongoing mandated business closures, many business will wait as long as possible to commit to new staff hires.

Two daily fasting diets , also known as time-restricted feeding diets , are effective for weight loss , according to a new study published by researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago .
The study reported results from a clinical trial that compared a 4-hour time-restricted feeding diet and a 6-hour time-restricted feeding diet to a control group .

Economists do not agree on many things, but on this insight there will be nary a dismal scientist who will not acquiesce.
Yet there are several public policies in place that are incompatible with this commonsense understanding.
Consider first residential rental units. New York City, San Francisco, Cleveland, and another half dozen major cities are now offering free legal advice to tenants threatened by eviction. At present this benefit is afforded mainly to those accused of a crime who cannot afford a lawyer, on the ground that such legal aid is needed to provide equal justice for rich and poor alike. Now it is being extended to renters.
Some commentators even think that this strengthens the hands of tenants and reduces homelessness. They reckon, however, in the absence of downward-sloping demand curves. They think only in terms of immediate, not long-term effects. Yes, give them free legal advice and fewer people will be evicted; one point for the tenant.
But look at this from the point of view of the landlord, or the would-be investor in residential real estate. It now becomes more difficult to evict nonpaying or obstreperous tenants. Will they be more or less likely to build, upgrade, or repair apartment dwellings? To ask this question is to answer it. They will tend to seek greener pastures elsewhere. They will try to convert extant dwellings into condominiums, commercial space, etc. But with less residential housing available, the situation of renters will become more dire, not less. Remember that downward-sloping demand curve: with a lowered supply, rents will rise, not fall, and a given square footage will accommodate fewer people, not more. More homelessness, here we come.
The same analysis applies to other efforts to “help” tenants. Under economic freedom, landlords may demand as much as several months’ worth of security deposits. This will indemnify them if there are damages. It will also protect them from bankruptcy, since it typically takes months to evict nonpayers. This problem arises especially during the Christmas season; judges are particularly reluctant to toss people out onto the street during these times. Curiously, they do not at all have the same attitude regarding robbers in December. But what are nonpaying tenants other than thieves of accommodation?
Next consider the labor market. In France in particular, and other countries as well, the law makes it more and more difficult to fire employees.

For when barriers are placed in the way of laying off wage earners, less of it will occur. How do rational profit-seeking entrepreneurs react? Why, by not hiring workers in the first place! Instead of offering full-time employment, they take on only part-timers. Firms resort to contracting out to smaller firms, or to the individuals themselves. The latter take on what are called “gigs” so as to escape these unwarranted legislative enactments.
These laws are also discriminatory. Workers can quit without your leave. Unless and until employers can sever relationships with employees as easily, justice, to say nothing of full employment, will not prevail.
Let us attempt to make this point in an unrelated arena of human interaction. Suppose a law were passed and fully enforced mandating that no divorce would be allowed, ever, for any reason whatsoever. The immediate effect of course would be to preserve marriage. Without the possibility of divorce, more marriages would stay intact than otherwise (we abstract from the effect of such a law on the rate of infidelity). But what would be the long-run effect of such a law on this institution? Demand curves slope downward even in this milieu.
