You'll probably disagree with these if for no other reason than I wrote them.
1. I think it woke up a lot of people to the fact that individual freedom and democratic governance is not guaranteed. Society needs to fight for them every single day. There are always politicians, statists and activists that want more power and control over our lives. I think government should be limited, accountable and easily changeable. Unfortunately for Victoria, clearly not enough woke up to that fact to vote Dan Andrews out.
2. I think it woke up a lot of people to our economic over-reliance on China or the idea of over-relying on a single country for anything.
3. Remote working became a widespread thing which I think has opened a lot of opportunities for:
- working smarter (rather than being stuck in a office or in traffic)
- keeping regional and rural areas and the farming communities they support viable by enabling more people to get jobs that allow them to stay
- allowing people to spend more time with their families, either during lockdown or through remote working, which I think is the most important of all.
Everyone else I know has found some silver lining, at least one. You are literally the first person that I've come across that was unable to think of a single one over the past three years. What a waste of time.
