    Covid has been a godsend for the US government in helping them eliminate some of the surplus population, mainly the elderly who are a drain on public health resources from their point of view.

        This was before the economic crisis. Many places have already paused hiring in response to the recession, which a huge blow to the negotiating power of workers.

        Also covid didn’t kill many working age people. The primary victims were older people who were outside the workforce anyway.
