The aim is simple: Perrottet wants to kill more people for the good of the economy. The more of the vulnerable you kill, the more it stimulates the economy by offloading the social ballast holding us back. The “Ballastexistenzen” aren't newsworthy #NegativePopulationEconomics

The translation of these next political weasel words: “healthy economy depends on healthy people”? That we must liquidate the unhealthy social ballast holding back the economy so that the healthy who sustain the economy can soldier on unburdened.

It is all part of the same ableist cult of the healthy body. One that needs to maintain its status through a ruthless Social Darwinist cleansing of Ballastexistenzen. Only by being ruthless, can healthy people enjoy a healthy economy. Competition is the inescapable law of Nature

The same market principle of competition underlies the principles of economics and the marketplace. Economically unviable entities that function only as social ballast, simply need to be allowed to be competitively weeded out according to the law of both Nature and Economics

@Dom_Perrottet has rationalised this saying: “Yes, it's going to be difficult” killing so many to save the economy. To serve the nation, you must: “Close your hearts to pity. Act brutally. The stronger has the greater right.” But it needs to be done. The end justifies the means
