VIRUS WOES

There’s a fight for jobs. Fight for resources. The immediate future is about tackling these two. The job scenario is being handled by governments as they see apt — either pumping in money to drive up purchasing power until employment is created. And the other is the so called green new deal. And then there is a knowledge economy.

Perhaps nobody is wrong but somebody is more right than the others. A knowledge economy is the order of the day but it doesn’t work with “low level jobs” that are extremely essential. A knowledge economy cannot run without these workers such as delivery people caregivers etc

True, Priti Patel was wrong and now she should be made to eat her words. However the need of the hour is employment and whatever works to get that in order. Also, China should be sued for the losses. Perhaps the virus could not have been prevented because humans have encroached on habitats. But it’s spread could have been prevented.
