oh i agree ironmouth here,
they will die and that is the sad reality, but i thought we* were all concerned because Covid was just accelerating the process?
I think half the country have Stockholm Syndrome at this stage. They are actually choking for another national lockdown. And for 6 months rather than 3 this time. No fear if people wonât be able to pay their bills or put food on the table. At least weâll eventually get COVID cases down to single figures. Sure thatâs the main thing.
It doesnât necessarily if youâre a country but thatâs another story.
Youâre 100% right that the lowest paid are bearing the brunt of it. After the last few months and all the discourse on how itâs been the lowest paid that have been the most indispensable and how we need to reconsider how we value work in light of that, itâs fucking sick that the low pay commission come up with barely recommending a 1% increase to the minimum wage.
I donât agree with the principle that because some people are suffering the ones who arenât should be made to suffer too. In general though Iâd be happy to pay more tax for a more equal society.
