Let's never open schools again....

So we get a generation of thickos? They will be ok for delivering fast food
and cases of beer on mopeds, and may be so dense they will accept a cut in
their minimum wage.
What’s not to like?

At the risk of sounding cynical, would anyone notice the difference?

The education of the British has been systematically dumbed down over the years by successive Governments with the goal of making it easier to pass such legislation as the crap that says you can be had up under anti-terrorism laws for putting your wheely-bin out on the wrong day, for example.

From The Chase recently:

Question: which spiritual leader fled Tibet in 1959 to avoid being captured by the Chinese?

Millennial contestant: Jesus Christ?

From Tipping Point recently:

Question: Roger Bannister became the first man to run a four minute what?

Millennial contestant: Marathon?

I jest ye not, we're doomed......

Parents would.

Eventually, the rest of the population would get fed up with being verbally
(if not physically) accosted by groups of street urchins with nothing better
to do all day than drink cheap alcohol and take cheap hallucinatory chemicals
with the little money they can get from selling stolen phones, jewellery and
credit cards.

So a lot like most inner city suburbs are on a Friday and Saturday night then?

My local Spar shop were renowned for selling alcohol to underage kids who sat around in the park across the road and slowly got leathered....and as the night wore on, and the alcohol kicked in, they would cause trouble inside the shop.

In the end, Spar had to hire a bouncer / security guard....always chuckled at how much they must have been out of pocket because of something they'd brought on themselves.

Yes, except this would be all day, every day.

A different subject, but the same irony was noticeable in the early days of
the virus; when shops were quite happy to see a few customers wheeling out
trolleys containing 150 toilet rolls, because all they saw was rising
sales/profits and had no thought of the future when supplies temporarily ran
out.

Now the "hospitality" sector have successfully lobbied to open for
business but this can only result in spreading the virus. Almost by
definition hospitality venues are Covid incubators (with only a few
exceptions).

Why are the profits of a business more important than the lives of those
who die from Covid caught from their activity?

Businesses close all the time for reasons of market forces. A
Weatherspoons opening in the vicinty might cause an old local pub to lose
business. Same goes for restaurants and any other hospitality venues.

Just because of Covid, there's no imperative to financially prop up a
whole sector which is capable of bouncing back on its with new businesses
which it does all the time.
