If ever there was proof of the damage done by neoliberalism, this is it! The second wave (which killed 87,000 people in UK) was driven almost entirely by Sunak’s ā€œeat out to help outā€, and Johnson’s defying the experts to ā€˜save Christmas’.
It is extraordinary that you can kill tens of thousands of people with your obsession with the economy, and yet face absolutely no consequences.
Mind you, that’s nothing compared to the death toll that climate inaction will produce.

@KimSJ The world decided that profit margins for the rich were down, so screw the normal people. All we're worth is increasing value for the boards and CEOs after all.

What I still can't believe is that people just... accepted "we have to get things back to normal." Nevermind that this was code for "get back to working and spending and stop caring about yourself and others," even just on its own... *WHY* do we have to get things back to normal at all costs as fast as possible no matter what?
