The standard critical reply to this tweet has been & #39;but costs to the economy also mean loss of life& #39; - okay, fine, but that& #39;s sort of my point! It& #39;s not just bad that lives are treated as less important than profit, but that lives are made contingent upon profit-making
Why organise the world so that closing a cafe or a restaurant or even a clothing factory means that people die? We have enough to go around, we can do things a different way - decisions have to be made, sure, but it& #39;s capitalism which means that the calculations have these terms
I& #39;m a socialist - I believe that we can produce for need not profit, treat each other as people and not as things - and an editor at @NewSocialistUK please consider subscribing if you& #39;re able ( https://www.patreon.com/newsocialist )">https://www.patreon.com/newsocial... and read our articles here: https://newsocialist.org.uk/ ">https://newsocialist.org.uk/">...
