And our economies went to shit, our global supply chains broke (for years after), prices surged (except gas!), mental health issues exploded, the US split even harder apart politically... It was grand.
Because there was no plan in place after President Cheeto smeared shit on the walls
Because they are built on the idea that outsourcing labor for profit is the best plan
Because the overlords realized their cheap labor couldn't work, and they needed to squeeze every penny they could from the goods that had already been manufactured.
Because people actually had time to realize how fucked things were, instead of being corralled into the office every day like cattle.
That was the plan already, the pandemic was just convenient. As soon as that was over they moved onto women's rights, and then trans right, ad infinitum.
I mean, there may be some truth to that, but we cannot deny the damaging effects isolation had on people. Not to say that isolation was not extended exponentially by malicious actions and incompetence, but the isolation caused many of the mental health issues (which also means those who did what they were supposed to best suffered most, which really sucks).
It seemed like the introverts felt better and the extroverts felt worse, surprising I'm sure.
