What good/positive habits have you taken away from your time in Covid lockdown and kept up since then?

For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.

I now have infinite patience with essential workers. When they get an order wrong, or they have a bad attitude, I let it go

I found it quite ironic how most of the essential workers get shit pay.. Says a lot about our society I think.

They're essential, but they're also numerous. The barrier to entry for a lot of these jobs is "went to school for some time" - which means pretty much everyone is qualified.

Supply and demand.

Notice how when service staff were allowed back to work, a lot of them didn't, and that drove up zone wages.

And to be clear - I am not advocating for below living wages, nor saying that people doing these jobs are unskilled. You can tell the good from the bad, and I think everyone should be paid at least a living wage.

Yeah I agree, I don't think they should be the top earners. But a livable wage should be the minimum...
