Andrews's Covid Tax (General)
As studies emerge about how damaging/counter-productive lockdowns were - confirming common-sense concerns - Andrews has announced a Covid-tax to pay for his world-record draconianism. It entails a tax on those with a second house - which sounds ok on the surface, but the first thing landlords will do is pass it straight onto renters. In effect, it's a tax on the poor.
And keep in mind that the GODS where never locked down. They flitted about as they wished.
It's too bad most people won't read this article or have any serious discussion about the long lasting negative effects of the covid response.
Previously anticipated negative effects now borne out in the scientific literature include “a rise in non-Covid excess mortality, mental health deterioration, child abuse and domestic violence, widening global inequality, food insecurity, lost educational opportunities, unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, social polarisation, soaring debt, democratic backsliding and declining human rights”.
“Excess non-Covid mortality is predicted to remain elevated in the years ahead for many conditions, including anticipated increases in cardiovascular disease and cancer,” the paper said.
It's just unbelievable that there's not an international, daily debate about this. Oh, wait, debate has never been part of the covid movie, has it.
