Covid times provied that people can live without 50% of what they usually spend and majority of jobs will disappear if people do that. Most jobs are catering to people's overspending.
- barbazoo 10mo agoOr people’s overspending is propping up the economy
- dboreham 10mo agoHasn't this been known for decades?
- wolvesechoes 10mo ago> Or people’s overspending is propping up the economy Good thing people are still religious and have a god to worship and make sacrifices.
- MangoToupe 10mo ago> Covid times provied that people can live without 50% of what they usually spend and majority of jobs will disappear if people do that. I don't think either of these things are remotely accurate lol
- tsunamifury 10mo agoUh it is specifically and exactly what it proved. It changed the entire planets awareness of needs and has since changed the direction of humanity. Many don’t need to commute, purchase lunch food, shop downtown, buy commuter consumables etc. we do so because we have in the past. And I say this as a life long lover of the classic pre covid city life. Now we discovered most people are content at home with some food, entertainment and a few hobbies. The rest of the consumption is a mix of boredom and ritual. And more than half the population would be out of a job without that

- tsunamifury 10mo agoThere is no such thing as normal, you're using the term morally. It simply was true for some segments, enough to make it real.
