> when we should also be listening to economists

Maybe we can listen to economists coming out of this too then; On things like

- Healthcare attached to employment

- UBI

- Sick Leave

- Servers wages

- Gig Economy

- Taxation and Austerity

We would have been better off economically if we had listened to much of the general consensus before.

Curious what you think we should listen to economists on for those things.

For most of the things you specifically mentioned, there's not much consensus today.
