Even though we have this "worker shortage", the conservative government are doubling down on punishing the workers and the poor through tax increases (for workers) and benefits cuts. At the same time the cost of energy is very high and the cost of goods is rising.

It's allready really expensive to live in some places in the country with really high rents.

They might be planning to change the Student Loan terms for new and exisitng loans too: https://imgur.com/bK0xS5X

part of me hopes we enter a eath spiral where more young/workers move away.

I have good intel that there will be an apocalypse in the near future and trust me when I say this but this is all just the beginning, its going to get a lot lot worse in the coming months and years. The economy is fucked and soon inflation will reach a point where money just becomes worthless.

Yeah, climate change could be very apocalyptic.

Economics is just a man made game though and I think the economy can recover (if climate change is delayed/slowed).
