"They are also 11.2% more than in the first quarter of 2020 when 4,683 corporate insolvencies were filed before the COVID-19 pandemic had its full impact. The coronavirus pandemic period itself saw special, temporary regulations introduced and low insolvency rates."
Your own statista link shows that the number of bankruptcies was steadily decreasing between 2010-2019, now it's going up again.
Your solution is even worse! Not only it means opening stores everywhere, but you haven't even considered the fact that not everyone wants to go shopping daily. Buying in bulk is a thing, bc of time and money saved.
Besides, I was thinking of something like this:

which is already popular with the old ppl in many countries in Europe.
They are holding the Israeli gov't responsibile for the violence that is to come in Gaza in the next days (already started). Your argument that surrender is what makes societies function is absolutely wrong, otherwise it would be applicable in places like Ukraine.
I was just thinking - why don't they make electrified coin-operated shopping carts that you can take home and return when you're done with them? That would greatly extend the carrying capacity of a single person and maybe make car trips redundant.
Is anyone seriously threatening the US? I'd say lives are lost when soldiers are sent abroad, where they (maybe) shouldn't be.
Consider this:

A sewage system doesn't work well without periodic flushes. Having too few houses connected to it means it is at risk of drying and clogging. Most probably when it was designed they took into account the number of houses is was supposed to collect waste water from. Anything less then that number would be risky for the whole system.
I imagine someone in India or China is saying that right now, comparing themselves with Europeans or Americans.
BTW I'm with you, imposing drastic changes in lifestyle upon a single country is just not going to work at all.
