Korea says ages 10+ to 19  Highest in transmission rate.

Old enough to move without parental supervision, not old enough to have brains.  Most of the large groups I see probably fit this age range, and groups = transmission...

When we had a massive illegal rave here in Bath on Saturday night, we had people the next day saying that you can't expect young people to just stay inside for four months and not do anything fun. I pointed out that lots of people are kept from doing things they enjoy, but don't go to illegal events for it.

I also pointed out that going somewhere where you are packed incredibly close together, getting sweaty, and having to yell into the other person's face to communicate is probably up there with licking Covid-19 test swabs in terms of risk.

Much as tp4 will despair due to society's need for bin men and the like I hope all the morons doing things like that die of it, for the betterment of our species.  They should be barred from any NHS treatment for a year too.

If the virus doesn't get them, I'm sure crossing the road will. Judging by how we could hear the music five miles away, I assume they all have severe tinnitus now.

Replacing them adds latency, it's better to pay for everyone to stay home.

Of course the Slavers are afraid if you do that, how will you ever get them to work again.

The longer people are allowed to idle at home, the more the veil is lifted,   

It becomes more difficult for the Slavers to continue the narrative of the rich rightly exploiting the poor.


In general the exploitation feeding the smaller oligarchy is actually LESS problematic(more efficient) than the potential loss in synergy/ increase in consumption from a society without enslaved classes.

A billionaire will waste alot of money/ resources RELATIVE to a poor person.

However,  Relative to the WHOLE , the main wasted time/energy/resources come from the general public.

For Example::  A billionaire can afford to eat as many hotdogs as he can eat. He can eat 2 hotdogs per meal before he's full.     If you give the non-rich, poor person who normally can only afford 1 hotdog, +0.01%, that's 1/1000th of a hotdog extra.  Multiply by 7.8 billion,  that's 7.8 Million extra hotdogs. The Slaver Oligarchs could never eat this many hotdogs even if they can afford it.  Oligarchy is a naturally developed consumption control mechanism.

This is why economically, it is more resource and labor efficient to concentrate wealth and power at the very top.

There are degrees though, the case can be made that the line's been crossed when command efficiency drops,   as is Our situation.

< It's more/less OK for Slavers to have all the money, as long as they're good at their jobs >
< However, if the Slavers are several generations deep on drugs, becoming incompetent, Now society has a problem >

PRC government, they're bad guys, slavers,  but they're good at their jobs, efficient, hard working.

Trump administration, same bad guys, slavers,  INCOMPETENT.  /Problem.
