Today’s fun fact science corner

So it seems the nearest town is entering lockdown Halloween. I suspect that we’ll join it (if we’re not already, the government site doesn’t say).

I just... I wish we had a government that actually fucking worked in our interests instead of the self serving twats we have in power that are doing everything to avoid a second lockdown even though the R is now 3 and want to keep everything open for the sake of the economy. Just put everyone on universal basic income and lock all but key services down.

Fucking assholes.

That's the problem, they need to give everyone affected jobwise an income and they won't. At least not consistently. I feel so bad for everyone in the hospitality industry because so many won't come out of this, cafes closed, jobs lost, a whole industry affected terribly.

Why they wanted to stop the furlough scheme at all I don't know, not with so much at stake.

It’s so ridiculous, and shows how they don’t give a fuck about people

Me too, it baffles me
