Agreed. At the moment money it seems in places like the UK and USA are filtering to just a few big cmpanies, so Amazon does well, Sainsburies does well etc. The money doesn't really get taxes paid on it, or go anywhere except to a few (yes I know wages etc but the real bulk of the money) and maybe sort of trickles down to a few people when some exec buys a suneeker. Meanwhile small businesses that contribute tax and generally spread the profits through the less than 1% crowd are dying.

Countries that are now opened up, that money is moving to them, the hairdresser can stay open, the cafe, the corner shop. It's money more at the real society level and its moving around.
