I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Mega wealthy people will not just "be OK" during an economic crash. They will make *more* money.
They buy stuff at fire sale prices, and when value returns to normal, they make a killing.
Poor people lost half a trillion dollars during the pandemic shock. Billionaires gained half a trillion.🙂🙃

NDP voters have shifted because the NDP PARTY has failed, not because they agree with a conservative central banker's austerity and anti-worker/pro-biz policies.
As usual, leftists are doing what they must to help feckless centrists prevent fascist conservatives from gaining power.
