My apologies. It wasn't clear that you're perfectly aware.


My apologies too for my irritable response.

hedda I admit to getting overwhelmed by this virus problem and how to solve it.

We've had 2 stimulus payments here in Oz..for some reason they get gobbled up by bills even though I no longer work (but I'm a carer for an aged invalid relative).

Think another is due soon..not a lot, $250.

I recall how then Oz PM Kevin Rudd, as the 2007/2008 financial meltdown hit the US and began to spread worldwide, he immediately gave a stimulus payment of $1500 to everyone (about 1000 quid then) and exhorted everyone to "spend spend spend" as the Bogan Mob (Aussie Chavs..nasty I know because I was included) went on a huge Giant TV etc spree and businesses country-wide were saved (and their billionaire owners rejoiced) and Kev was hailed as A Genius by economists worldwide.

# Rudd was influenced by the fact that as a kid, his father died and the family were kicked off their QLD share crop farm and the family lived in a car for a time . Now he's a multi-millionaire with a wife worth about $120M ironically, from owning numerous UK employment agencies.

But the conclusion is : despite their claims of how evil it is..Socialism (or aspects of it) seems to have been bailing out Capitalism around the world for 100 years !!

As for low paid workers not being able to isolate - who are they exactly?


No, not crack dealers - those workers mentioned here, for example

www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket...pending/2018-03-28#:

There's about 2 million of them; and then there's the many categories of vulnerable, disadvantaged, disabled etc.


Fucking hell you are so confused Barney...

I am perfectly aware that millioms struggle on the minimum wage.

What the hell has that got to do with my thread!?
Honey Great! All the youngsters (who mostly get no symptoms anyway) will have infection parties, and soon they will all be immune, making it safer for the rest of us.
Genius.
