    I’ve seen this, and it’s galling.

    COVID really ripped the mask off the capitalist class: they hate us because they have to pay us, they hate us because they need us to buy things, and they hate us because they don’t yet have all the money. And when money was cheap and interest rates low they could ignore us because they were able to ignore us and pretend that money just happened.

    That’s changed, and I think we’ll see the rich and their neoliberal enablers in government becoming very hostile towards labour in as things get tighter.
