David Bowie - Fassion

 

Pashion, you mean?!

BTW, I Guess Tigerstaden is Stockholm...

The original poster, Icarium, is from Tigerstaden (wherever that is), so I'm guessing English isn't his first language and I didn't want to be picky about his spelling. After all, I doubt if my spelling would be much good in your native language either.

Yes, I had noticed the obvious misspelling, but I didn't want to be too pedantic about it.

People are still spreading corona and causing frustration is what I'm trying to say, and ideally I'd say the weight shift away from media and more towards assertive government action. I don't really relate to the fear of governments trying to 'assert power' against its people, the government has always put limits on what people wear and how they congregate, for example. I think, from the outbreak onwards, the better solution from the government would have been to make a bigger, more complex lockdown plan, with more small, realistic fines for rule-breakers, and furthermore a more progressive temporary tax system and a pause on affected labour contracts, so that employees can be put on temporary wellfare and businesses won't go bankrupt during lockdown. Not that I've really looked into the specifics of why they didn't work out like that but maybe our slow compromise-based multi-party system had something to do with it, or maybe I'm just rambling nonsense... Either way, our government (and surely other ones too) worked hard to establish a passable, people-pleasing policy that tries to succumb to all sides at once, and has ended up with rather inconsistent and inefficient policy as a result, which then causes the talk show debates to keep on going indefinitely...
