..time for religion..? Did you read the post today about the guy living on ‘Silent Street,’ named after a plague killed everyone on it? I gave him a thumb up anyway

Yes, that would have been very scary. But most people now have a very much better understanding than hundreds of years ago. We are now in a position to manage the Covid-19 pandemic.

What happened was the church got the blame for not praying hard enough, monks got attached in the street, many of the indentured workers died and the lord of the manor had no one to do the gardening.

When it died down labour was in short supply, the feudal lords had to pay for labour hire and the cracks in the feudal system began to open a free market for labour, leading to more opportunities for artificers and more mercantile opportunities.

Much like the manner in which the current neoliberalist structure could be challenged.
