Turns out the government did save money during the pandemic—just not in the way you’d hope. A grim new twist reveals that 23,000 people who should have received help or support never got the chance—because they’re dead. Victims of a botched response. Casualties of neglect. And now, conveniently, they’re just… savings on a spreadsheet.
☠️ Austerity by Attrition: Fewer Survivors, Fatter Budgets
Apparently, if you fail people hard enough, you don’t have to pay them. Brilliant! 🤡
The government’s pandemic policy basically became: delay, deny, deflect—and eventually, let the problem bury itself. And for 23,000 people, it did. No payouts. No justice. Just silence and cold, bureaucratic efficiency.
Imagine the meeting:
“Minister, we’ve reduced spending!”
“Fantastic! How’d we manage that?”
“By letting 23,000 people die before they could make a claim.”
You couldn’t make it up. And yet… they just carried on. No one sacked. No inquiry biting. Just a nation forced to move on while the state sweeps bodies under the budget line.
This wasn’t an accident. It was the cost of a strategy where indecision was policy and human life was collateral. They failed these people during COVID. Now they’re failing them in death too.
