One thing that’s worth remembering. The pandemic proved that states can meaningfully change the lives of people, providing massive resources to make change happen. They will make us pay for this. Not because there’s somehow a real debt which needs to be paid, but because we need to be made to suffer, to be shown that a better world *isn’t* possible.
