Everybody is currently laughing their heads off over the morons that went short on stocks in amounts that are driving them towards bankruptcy. There will be no bailout, governments have learned that companies too incompetent to survive must die like the dinosaurs they are. The vacancy they leave behind will be quickly filled with young and vibrant companies. And it takes a part of the distortion out of stock markets.
In this lesson, we are looking at the workers being talked about all the time, and the ones that are never mentioned at all. We know that the teachers are expected to look after hordes of children that are not at risk but probably infected. There are others that look after any number of people and are expected to put themselves out into the pandemic. But no one really mentions them. They are sort of subsumed by other groups, but will certainly be forgotten once the pandemic is over.
Humans are very good at camouflage. They hide drug addiction behind 'health products' from the pharmaceutical industry and 'keep pubs open' campaigns. They sell serial liars as politicians. They pretend that the stock market is not a gambling den. If you read anything on social media about GameStop recently, you'll know that that is a lie.
After 6 lessons, you would think we have everything we need at home to survive a pandemic and the necessary emergency services in place, but if you followed my articles since Lesson 1, you will know I left out one little minor aspect of survival: Food. Love and air is all you need; or maybe not.
So far, I have taken you through a list of people who are way underpaid for what they do and most of whom are forgotten or glossed over by governments around the world. Now we come to a group of people who can't be ignored but are treated as if they were morons; when it is politicians who are the morons.
