COVID Seen, Poverty Unseen

In economics we have this problem called ‘the seen and the unseen.’ Folks tend to focus on immediate effects and will put processes and even slow avalanches in place to fix the ‘now’ at the cost of our well-being in the longer term.
Usually that’s a natural inclination to be resisted. But then, add in the politicians and the media who all want you to focus only on what’s served up in front of you. They reward and punish you to see only what they want you to see.
Meanwhile…the wave of poverty and economic woe is coming down the time tunnel unheeded and unprepared for. Even the very act of sharing the title picture is automatically cautioned by Facebook (see image right) and a re-education briefing offered. “Do you really want to open your mouth and have a view on this topic? Do ya, user?”
We’re not to question the narrative that says our massive economic sacrifice is worthwhile. Or, the money-printing on the national or even world scale. Media attention will not go to the braveĀ Covid Plan B group or people likeĀ Dr Sam Bailey. Why don’t we talk about why the COVID-19 death rate, for which there is no vaccine, is higher than the regular flu death rate for which we have annually engineered vaccines?
The short answer is that New Zealand, with the rest of the world, is being artificially held in the grasp of Slave Culture long past the due time for it to end. For the rulers, an Authoritarian Honour Culture has replaced (but still accented by) Victimhood Culture as the means of ruling a population who respond to being treated this way. Can’t last but it can certainly hurt us the longer it takes for people to wake up to the Statism.
