Thanks for the detailed response. I understand where you're coming from and I agree with some of your points, especially regarding market regulation to avoid massive conglomerates controlling everything and suffocating smaller businesses. As for lockdown and COVID, I must admit I'm getting fed up with this whole thing. I am becoming quite skeptical. Protecting vulnerable people is important but goverment restrictions are getting out of hand.

The government in Ireland said that the lockdown was only going to be for two weeks. Now a year in and we’ve been through three lockdowns. First was almost two months, second was six weeks and the current one we’ve been in since the start of the year. I’m all for protecting vulnerable people, but the lockdowns have made people depressed, obese and unemployed. A lot small businesses will never open again, while large corporations are getting bigger and richer. In Ireland were locked down, but our borders are still open, so that people with the virus can still come into our country and spread. In which case, what is the point of the lockdowns? I’m not sure what you think of Russel Brand, but he did a good video on this topic.
