At the end of the day, COVID-19 made people realize:
- They could work from home and that most offices are shitty places.
- Their job was really shitty.
- Governments could finance pretty much anything they wanted.
- Global warming could be stopped.
- The really important jobs were the ones that are the worst paid (nurses, for instance).
- Most governments are run by idiots, who are in the pocket of the wealthiest.
@ParadeGrotesque Not enough people realized these things, but many did.
@ParadeGrotesque it also showed a lot of women that their husbands don’t actually like them, and that they are actively choosing not to participate with the family. Take away all that extra “busy stuff” that kept them away from home, and they lost their minds.
They realized that it’s not that he doesn’t have time, it’s that he doesn’t want to so he won’t.
@ParadeGrotesque yet our leaders still seem to have learned nothing. In the early days of the pandemic I figured the covid experience would prepare us for the next pandemic, but I think in some ways we're worse off now than in 2019.
