There could be a shortage of meat next year if we overconsume this year.

Cirque du Soleil may not be around (who cares?) but the bigger question is how does a circus have a billion dollars in debt?

That happened 5+ years afterwards.
Could you see a wealth tax as being part of the mix?

Possibly, but I'm yet to see a viable practical option other than death duties (which taxes a couple of generations to work, so too slow)

If this goes much longer don't see how things get back to normal. This has opened up a huge chasm in society between various groups and the lack of cohesion, a degree of selfishness and people's true perspectives are being ripped open.
There are just too many differences within society to ever be a true cohesive unit. We might even end up further down a US path of individualism, fringe groups yet greater police presence.

Hopefully health and education professionals get the recognition and wages they deserve.
Hopefully some entitlement disappears.
Hopefully property prices drop, and housing affordability improves.

The cynic in me says any changes will be short lived before returning to the status quo. I just hope interest rates stay low for a few years so I can pull the trigger on rebuilding the house.
Retail was already struggling. The internet is decimating the tax base.
I would be amazed if there wasnt a worldwide push for a big internet tax.
How would it work?
Consideration of a probate tax would get my support.
CAUTION:
Kerry Packer made this point on taxation before a Senate committee & its applicable today:
..... if anybody in this country doesn't minimise their tax, they want their heads read, because as a government, I can tell you you're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra!"
Why are we meant to respect the education profession? They are lucky they dont have performance related pay.
Australian teachers among highest paid
The OECD says Australian primary and secondary teachers are paid well above the average.
Australian school teachers are among the highest paid in the OECD, earning 22 to 36 per cent more than the average – a finding that comes just after NAPLAN results showed reading, writing and grammar scores have fallen in the past 10 years, and international PISA results in science, maths and reading have collapsed since 2000.

Teacher pay? Or falling PISA scores?

California, land of technology, has some of the worst scores in the US. The reason: more than half of primary and secondary students are Latino.

There is an internet tax in Australia already- it's called the GST and it's been low-cost online sales from overseas suppliers since 2018. It was supposed to help the retail industry which is why Harvey Norman and other large retailers were lobbying for it, but it (unsurprisingly) hasn't worked as intended, because it's obviously still cheaper and way easier to buy electronic goods from a kid in China via ebay than leave the house.
Rent is as big an issue for retailers as well IMO.
Maybe I should have been clearer, it will have to be way above the GST rate. Consider Harvey Norman for example. They pay rates, super, corporations tax etc and rent to their landlords ie super funds. Their employees pay tax.
What does Amazon pay in Oz? I assume if like everywhere else its close to zero.
Its an obvious thing to do and has already been talked about.

The governments build a lot of the internet infrastructure.
Video Streaming services get a free ride.
Internet tax on goods is not really applicable though, no different from mail order catalogs.

None of the top performing kids at my school had ambitions or went on to be teachers. Needs a change up.Why are we meant to respect the education profession? They are lucky they dont have performance related pay.

Someone makes the goods, someone ships the goods, someone has a shop where you buy them.
Retailers have enjoyed massive margins in the past.
They proceed to stock less items, and hold less stock. Their sales people have less expertise than ever.
Why do they deserve the protection manufacturers didn't get?
My daughter has not long finished school and is studying a degree.
She describes the system through public schools as.
Pass year 12, have a year off , because most people don' t have marks good enough to get in anywhere.
After a year off sit a test to get into teaching , much easier than year 12.
Fail the teaching course, because its pretty hard, and these people didn't even do well in year 12.
