like supermarket workers, and well, everyone else, our entire economy is built around not paying the people who keep society running and keeping their lives as precarious as possible i think that will be the very last thing the gov tries to fix, if they ever do.

What's noticeable in that article is that these problems were here before the pandemic and two of the three causes are separate to brexit. The government clearly has no interest in food security beyond a shrug and assuming that we can just get it from elsewhere and supply chain problems won't happen.

Pretty sure the government is going to put the problems of mass unemployment and lack of farmworkers together.

Nationalise the farms, bring in the army/volunteers to bring in the harvest, pay ubi. Right next problem?

Let's fly seasonal workers from other countries in on a private jet so they can pick fruit and veg instead of paying a decent wage to all the newly unemployed in this country. Or provide a UBI that would allow essential seasonal workers to survive here between harvest periods.

whats the loving point in all this lol? we're weeks behind and reluctantly stringing together half measures and voluntary poo poo. we still don't even have PPE for NHS staff which is frankly not even a step, its a basic assumption. if i was the gov i'd be going "if we can keep deaths under a million that would be great" not some wildly optimistic estimate that assumes we've done the things we've just said we've done and not acted on

who called "government makes utterly worthless unsubstantiated argument about deaths not really counting" a week ago? I'm assuming nobody is surprised the media are quite happy to parrot this absolute horseshit, so no bonus points for that

wait i just figured out the answer to my own post. once we pass 20k that number will be memory-holed just like the herd immunity poo poo has been they don't actually have to say anything that holds up in the future cause that context will never be mentioned. so its actually much smarter to just lie to reduce panic and pointing fingers, fully secure in the knowledge you will never face consequences for it

It all part of his "All in this together, pip pip" Churchillian hogwash. Also, it keeps him out of the way of doing something catastrophic in front of a camera.

CGI Stardust posted:It reminds me of Mirowski's description of how neoliberalism as a system deals with problems, iirc it was the 3-step process Yeah it's very apparent the gov basically exists to do PR and look in charge while all the real things happen independently. Occasionally putting a finger or two on the scale to stop the peasants from achieving agency. Whats more they genuinely want it to remain that way. I'm not sure what's worse, the rude awakening they're in for or the possibility they can just spin their way through this like normal.
