Don't know nothing about no healing, but lots more death, that's a certainty. I hope the immunologists hard at work come up with something from somewhere.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:I suppose historically true but at the same time we are a much more intimately integrated spider-web of dependencies than we have ever been, globally. Maybe if it was just America culling its service industry people could ignore it but the supply chain and chip shortages and all that aren't going to get less hosed over time and we're not set up to be an entirely self-sufficient country, it's not feasible Sure. I mean I want to be clear, the events I listed utterly sucked to live through, especially for the 99%! "Ratcheting down of state capacity" is something we can see at the level of "quality of pottery" and "size of skeletons" in the archeological record. High level institutions can be incredibly durable, especially if they're good at quashing alternatives or recapitulating resistance. The rest of get to garden and bury children.

We're getting so thoroughly shock-doctrined post-Soviet Russia style it's hard to comprehend the scale. Nurse salaries potentially being capped in a bipartisan effort and randos being allowed to teach school children. Who knows what other shenanigans capital is getting up to while we're all constantly distracted avoiding infections and figuring out respirators. A total one-sided the victory for the rich, with virtually no organized movement against people getting marched back to work in dangerous conditions. The only real resistance has come from individuals dropping out of the labour force to save themselves.

I love how the COVID procedure at work is that you don't need to wear a mask in your cubicle or office, so only the visitors to your cube/office must wear a masks. Then again plenty of people don't even bother with a mask, so it's moot.

And that is a credible way to talk about Western Roman continuity - when Western Rome collapsed, art styles, religious practices, etc largely continued. Many Roman institutions kept trucking even without Roman government (eg the church). It's a valid lens for studying history but I think arrives at completely the wrong lesson for us today. From a materialist perspective things are totally different. We can see, very visibly in the archeological record, that people ate less, died younger, died more violently. The quality of everyday goods fell. Cities as a concept practically disappeared in some areas like Britain. The collapse fell primarily on the shoulders of the peasants, which I'm sure as hell a lot closer to economically.

fits my needs posted:buddy giver her a break she was on a teachers salary, not everyone can afford the $2000 bespoke hardwood amish made office desk or whatever A lot of places will pay for a desk such as an uplift desk. Either up to $$$ and then over that is on you (ie if you want the regular sized one with the laminate top they got it, if you want the jumbo one with wood you're paying for that) or just XX% of whatever you get. The same applies to ergonomic chairs so get you a steelcase or herman miller. These are common middle class office job perks. This has become more common during COVID for obvious reasons and also because after COVID it's a one and done expense for work and is cheaper than the office place + staff to clean and maintain it. In the current bidding wars to retain or acquire talent crap like multi monitor setups, peloton + subscription (or other home gym crap), online courses + tutors for the kids, discounts for food deliver services ranging from grub hub all the way up to bespoke vendors like Williams Sonoma have all been added to it. Childcare discounts, discounts for elder/parental care are now part of stuff as well. And this isn't just for the rich. These are for 75-150k jobs, aka the real starting point of the middle class. If she really got gobbled up by a company "hungry for talent" she'd have gotten all that. That's not management perks that's secretary and office worker perks.
