Given what happened on the stock market, looks like this is a step towards bracing for the impact that recession might bring. Not that everyone would line up at the shops in the CBD recession or not as it feels like one anyway. Just a cop out to say that we tried by bringing your potential customers in your vicinity. What fun times to look forward to.

Truth is any economic difficulty has been used as an excuse to force workers in line. That employees weren’t always under management’s thumb was always running higher ups the wrong way.

That things worked fine during the pandemic only showed that the idea could always have worked. It took a fatal pandemic to force them to give it a chance. Only way to keep it is to organise.
