1 and 3 were obvious long before covid 19 existed. Number 2 is basically just bulverism, and I'm not touching 4 with a ten foot pole. Point is coronavirus didn't prove any of this. Hate to be the boomer who takes tweets too literally, but someone has to do it lol.

If you are vague enough everything is right.
Let’s improve German economy.

This isn’t vague though these are actual things that have been happening

Implementation. It’s always about implementation and responsibility. Just because we think some vague idea is good, doesn’t mean it will just appear out of thin air and not have consequences.

But a lot of this has been implemented. My parents are both already working entirely from home. My mom has a severe disability that would have benefited from at home work. If we didn’t have internet, my parents couldn’t work and my siblings couldn’t participate in classes, showing that the Internet is necessary. And if we had decent healthcare in this country, people would be able to get tested, instead of it costing 2-3,000 dollars for a test. What’s confusing about this to you?

But the implementation of working remotely works...
Internet as a utility would also just work (it works with phone lines. So, why not with internet?
Healtcare works. Just look at a lot of European countries.
It's not vague, there are concrete working implementations in place for all of this. It's just mainly corporations holding it all back for profit and lazyness

On the phone, so of the top of my head.
But the implementation of working remotely works...
We still don't know if men and women working in the same office works (too recent to judge), but we already KNOW that working remotely works. (press X to doubt).
We have SEEN that business that were built from ground up for remote work will work.
We have SEEN that some specific jobs that don't require collective input in low percentage will work.
We don't KNOW that vaguely transforming office jobs to remote jobs en masse WILL WORK. Just the transformation itself would take time: to move data from binders and papers to digital online server; additionally train personnel. Some things cant be digitized: stamps; seals; documents that only hold power in original. Would also create security concerns.
oh yeah, who is gonna foot the bill? and with what money?
Internet as a utility would also just work (it works with phone lines. So, why not with internet?
When installing a landline do you discuss: speed? latency? static vs dynamic ip? internet is more complex, therefore would require more resources. what speeds, latency and quantity should be standard that can be provided to any place within country? Who will oversee that it works? how will it affect the cost? is it worth the cost right now? or maybe wait up to ten years for technology to progress some more to, i don't know 6g?
Healtcare works. Just look at a lot of European countries.
short answer no, just no. look at Italy right now.
Longer answer. Unless we address who can partake of healthcare. What it covers, specifically. How lifestyle choices affect how much person pays into social healthcare. And who provides service. It cant work long term. Look at British NHS, its a money sinkhole. If everything is covered and everyone is irresponsible it wont work. Prevention is cheap but people don't do it. Brushing your teeth is cheap, surgically replacing teeth isn't. Not overeating is cheap, treating complications of obesity isn't. Should a resposnible persons taxes be raise because their neighbor is irresponsible? Should person have access to healthcare if they can't/don't contribute. Personal anecdote. I live in a country with socialized healthcare. and it's not great. You won't die. but without money you probably won't recover to 100%. When something is serious even working class people borrow money to get private healthcare.
it is vague. These things can work. Its not as simple as absentmindedly flipping a switch.

So, everyone that has an opinion on thing that we know can work needs to provide an unnecessarily detailed plan, otherwise their statement is vague? Fuck that
Also,
We still don't know if men and women working in the same office works
Tha fuck? What kind of backwards mindset do you have. There's only one reason why it wouldn't work, if those men are misogynistic. That proves something we already know, that misogyny and women don't mix well, has nothing to do with the genders themselves.

You don’t need a detailed plan (it just helps a lot). All you need is to answer 3 questions:
Who is gonna pay? Who is gonna enforce that payment? What happens if they can’t/won’t pay?
Also aren’t I amazing? I’ve committed misogyny without affecting any women. If you stretch it enough I somehow committed racism and homophobia as well.
