The government lockdowns have been a test bed for multiple leftist ideas. Boosted unemployment is basically UBI. Nonstop money printing is basically redistribution.
Of course, the elites have done nothing but benefit while the middle class has been utterly devastated.
I'm mostly cheering for things to get as bad as possible as quickly as possible so that the snapback occurs before too much damage is done.
My buddy’s wife supervised nurses and CNAs at a nursing home. Once the big unemployment checks kicked in they started losing the workforce because the unemployment office basically stamped everything as COVID related. No appeal. Too dangerous. Once the big stimmy checks hit accounts they hit critical staffing shortages.
The top brass were on her about staffing levels, performance metrics and some employee complaint against another employee that she didn’t address within four hours or some crap. She was doing 80-100 hour weeks. She walked in last week and handed them her badge and keys and walked out. She was over having beers last night and played a few voicemails they’d left begging her to come back. They were hilarious. This lady sang the praises of leftism in 2020 and is now probably more anti-leftist than Rush Limbaugh. It’s amazing.
