We know now, how Covid 19 made the ultra-rich richer
and the poor poorer in the wealthiest countries in The West,
because of the way the virus limited basic low paid work,
whilst capital took flight to the most profitable climates.
I wonder, how much the sanctions presently aimed at Russia
will not only hit the poor much harder than the rich there,
but they will also have the same effect as Covid did in The West;
they will make the obscenely wealthy to become even more obscene,
and further limit those on basic incomes from truly advancing?
The script will be 'commodity prices rising'
but what it will mean is 'human hopes shrinking',
as what keeps the rich richer makes for more poverty
from which there will be no exit for the rest of us.
