lockdown
I sometimes feel they have put all of us in lockdown so that they can do whatever they want with the world. It is not because they want to stop the spread of this disease. About the disease they really dont care at all. It is the resources that they have their eyes on.
Like terror was also used as such a code word that will instill fear in the minds of the public, but it could not instill fear in every one, with this virus they have got a sure shot thing that will instill fear in every single one.
Why should the idea be to instill fear? Because a fearful human is good for nothing, except to do as he/she is told.
However, there are many things that have come out during the course of this exercise.
No 1, from what the migrant workers showed us, no amount of fear of catching one's death or disease, can stop you from wanting to go home. If you have money and property tied up at the place you are in, you might not want to go home, but if none of that is there then the truth is naked and your desire to go back to where you came from shines through.
This the ones in power had not anticipated at all. They were like the poor labourer will be so scared to die that he/she will not venture out from where he/she is. Those in power have no idea that the labourers are wearing their lives on their sleeves, even when they work as there is no net anywhere that can break their fall.
They are being punished now for wanting to leave before they were permitted to. One by dilution of the laws and two by trying to push for employment of locals. The former one is of course a terrible punishment indeed, but it cannot hurt the ones who anyway did not know about the laws or could not demand their rights. The latter one is just a hollow threat.
