Imagine that the "covid economy" could've been the first step to long term survival of the species
There are theories about climate lockdowns to slow down pollution seeing how well it worked during Covid unintentionally. Personally I would froth for a periodic lockdown where everyone stayed home and chilled
I once lived in a city that had a by-law where all businesses were closed on Sunday. At first I found the law annoying, but honestly those super quiet Sundays really grew on me.
When I went to Tuscany there were places I visited with half day work hours and Sunday everything was closed. People just enjoyed life, not needing to shop, but just living. I crave a society like this.
