Yes: I was struck by the full-throttle normalisation of COVID coinciding with the release of the very effective Novavax vaccine, and wondered whether some bigwigs had assured their own access to that and so were happier to go full horror movie mode for everyone else

"I'm being paid the same now, when I make 500 shirts a day, as I did when I made 50 shirts a day. Where the fuck is the money going?"
The popular idea of luddites is entirely due to generations of capitalists trying their damnedest to obscure what is a very simple issue.

As a society we also need to think about why it's OK to exclude kids from even the limited protections offered by occupational health and safety rules, even in places like schools where they are forced to be present. Kids should be *more* protected than an adult working in a steel mill, not less.

Yes, like that 'orrible joke about a person who gets offered a wish by a genie, only whatever they wish for, their neighbour will get double, so they think for a moment and say "Put out one of my eyes" (as featured in the film "Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World")
