None more than the banks, the winners of the financial crisis and the last decade. And they want workers to be responsible they really take the biscuit.

I don't and I doubt Spider disagrees with you. When it comes to money it's 'tough luck' capitalism for the poor and 'too big to fail' socialism for banks and super rich. The pandemic has seen massive wealth transfer. Yet, no one talks about why we are here....and none of them changed anything significant in the system after 2008.

So 400 billion and none went to the general public on furlough or business loans. None went on health workers or ppe. None went on all the testing kits and sites to do this testing. Yup it all went in the pockets of the rich! If you had a business which could have made a profit from C19 you would have. Sanctimony is only for the losers.

Tens of billions went on paying wages and businesses that had to let staff go and close regardless. How many big businesses had to close because of the pandemic? Can't think of many myself. A third of ppe cost was wasted...though I partly accept that due to not knowing the future course of the pandemic. As for the corporational profits that's a whole other level of post. There was always going to be an economic hit from this pandemic but lockdowns were the economic icing on the cake....the twist of the knife. Anyway the working/middle classes are all paying this back on rising living costs, now with more to come. There is a massive generational cost here. Most of the people paying for this were in hardly any danger at all. Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Feb 2022 2.50pm)

I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that vast amounts of this 'woke' BS is nothing more than a deliberate distraction operation designed to set people at each others throats whilst the usual suspects get away with ripping us all off. Perhaps we have all been played.

The scale is completely different. You can justify Cryrst but personally I can't see it. Never happened before.....there are over reactions and then there is what happened. It's going to get harder to justify the tougher it gets my man. Edited by Stirlingsays (14 Feb 2022 7.09pm)
