    Quoted from the article: Australia’s GDP, after falling in 2020 during the first year of Covid-19, has bounced back vigorously and appears on track to grow at about the same rate as it has over the past 20 years.

    Here’s the thing, we either accept that COVID is still a thing and follow measures to mitigate it resulting in probable negative economic effects, OR we continue down our current path resulting in a labor shortage. The bourgeoisie can’t have it both ways, but they don’t want to accept that.

      That’s not true!

      We could also collapse the economy so the demand for labor falls faster than people can die or become disabled. 🤑
