The pandemic seems to be exposing the wealth inequality, which I think is the root issue here. The haves have even more and the nots bore the brunt. Judging by protests, approaching breaking point
While, I think the wealthy should be heavily taxed and poverty must be abolished, I don't want to live in a world where there is zero wealth inequality. Also, wealth is not a zero sum game.
This is what the wealthy want you to believe. There's no scientific evidence that places with lockdowns did better with regard to either economic or health outcomes; the lockdowns and economic destruction they caused were entirely unnecessary.
