I am sick of young people who regard a lost year as a catastrophe. Ask your great grandparents what upheavals they endured. A year of lockdown and loss of a years income is insignificant. You have decades to get over it.
Just as well, because that’s how long it’s going to take I’m afraid.
I agree with much of what you say and we’re probably in a similar age group but my feeling is that the Govt was waaay too generous at the beginning of this, assuming it was going to be over in a similar time frame to SARS.
They’ve made a rod for their own back and are finding it difficult to back-pedal now without pissing off a significant % of the population who think they’ve been given ‘free’ money. (Please, no Modern Monetary Theorists step in here. Absolute BS)
I can’t help but sense we’re on the doorstep of creating a massive Socialist State if we keep going down this path.
