  1. compare and contrast : this headline & the bit from a recent speech by a member of the Monetary Policy Committee pointing to the rise of people who are out of the workforce due to long term illness as a contributor to the UK's reduced productivity @DmitryOpines/1526684757362462729

      here's the speech: bankofengland.co.uk/speech/2022/may/michael-saunders-speech-at-the-resolution-foundation-event. and to join the dots a little more: the rise is in part due to Long Covid & some folks (like me!) who would be unable to work from the office 5 days a week are perfectly capable of doing that same work from home.
