Sad news
|
Very sad news shearings coaches have been going for years :(
|
So sad to hear this. :sad:
|
It's worrying the effect the continued lockdown is going to have on the tourist industry.
Standards of living are going to drop if there is bad economic damage. |

We're a bit past "if" I'm afraid. |
Have experts done analysis / modelling into the long term effects of the lockdown, is what I want to know, like they done for infection rates etc..

We don't really have a choice, just like we didn't back during the Spanish flu.

Saying all this, the fault still lies within the government none the less. The late response to the virus in the UK, will cause greater economic damage as well. |
...literally never heard of them :shrug:

"the fault still lies within the government none the less"
No it is China's fault. The Government can not save Companies as there are to many going under at the same time. |
my thinking is that a lot of companies are going to go this route .... clear out the debt obligation that they built up and then when things settle down, they will restart under a different name. For many, it's the only option they have

When people talk about limitless economic sacrifice "to save lives" they fail, repeatedly, to acknowledge the very simple and multiple-times-proven fact that when the economy declines, people die. We won't know for a long time if the lives saved by lockdown were outweighed by collateral deaths afterwards. It depends on the true extent of the global economic damage. I get a little stuck on the morals of it all, too, and that's where I have to sadly be really blunt because people don't like to see it or think about it. If we've done all of this to save hundreds of thousands of mostly-elderly lives, and the cost is millions of starving children, then that is a complete and utter moral disaster. |

We pay lip service to social care, but it really is nothing more in the scheme of things. I think we will go now full pelt to one extreme or the other ... proper social care, or none at all |

We now seem to be being shown repeatedly that this was very much wrong. Oceans full of plastic that we can't clean up, climate change that we're unlikely to get under control, and desperately trying to get a virus under the thumb when realistically it's very unlikely to happen. |
Because we've been governed or advised by those who either push paper or chase it for decades. Anyone who tried it any different was erased.
BOTS post sounds like an advert for eugenics, sink or swim there's no hand up or hand out, if you flounder the hand holds you under. |

Apparently a lot of other coach companies are heading the same way too, I think we're looking at a widescale collapse of the UK tourist industry.

it is going to be grim for a bit, but we humans are very good at adapting, so I think that is quite a pessimistic piece.
