Viral Evolution

While it is true viruses are sometimes misread by the host and mutate (like a cold virus for example), this week I want to speculate how the SARS-CoV-2 will and is causing societal evolution. Viruses have always been agents of evolution as they attach and pull away from our DNA and RNA, but this global pandemic is going to fundamentally change societies and the way we interact...especially in the short term. If and when a vaccine is developed, some sense of normality should be re-established, but societies will never be the same...like 9/11 and the 2008 crash. So get out your crystal ball and let's think about what's coming around the bend.

The Great Leap Forward was a formative event in Chinese history, taking place between 1958 and 1962.

Today I’d like to talk, perhaps for the last time, about election fraud.

[EDIT: It won't be the last time, because, try as I might, I couldn't get everything into this essay. Even though it's as long as Moby Dick.]

The past year has not been kind to that scam known as WeWork, but this takes the cake.

OK. Maybe this isn't totally unimaginable, but it is unimaginable that this is being ignored.

Biden and Nancy have not stepped up in this time of need

Last year, the Dept. of Health and Human Services ran a 7 month long exercise code named "Crimson Contagion," a dry run response to a global pandemic which started in China and expected more than 100 million Americans to become ill.

The simulation highlighted several failures in our preparedness for such a catastrophe.

Happy days.

Well, not really.

As things go from worse to worser, here's a shot, care of Bollox Minor:

Laugh?, I nearly cried.

Good luck everyone.

Wall Street wants us to think that “it feels more like a 9/11 - not 2008.”
They have two selfish reasons for this.
Firstly, it's all about "don't blame us." Because if we blame Wall Street then they won't get their taxpayer bailouts.
