Much more important is to ensure that we keep the number of those who lose their lives to the absolute minimum. We can collectively support those who lose their jobs and livelihoods.

Economies recover. Dead people don't.

That's a completely different issue.

The great reset.

To capture the imagination and will of humanity – change will only happen if people really want it.

The economic recovery must put the world on the path to sustainable employment, livelihoods and growth. Longstanding incentive structures that have had perverse effects on our planetary environment and nature herself must be reinvented

Systems and pathways must be redesigned to advance net zero transitions globally. Carbon pricing can provide a critical pathway to a sustainable market.

Science, technology and innovation need re-invigorating. Humanity is on the verge of catalytic breakthroughs that will alter our view of what it possible and profitable in the framework of a sustainable future.
Investment must be rebalanced. Accelerating green investments can offer job opportunities in green energy, the circular and bio-economy, eco-tourism and green public infrastructure.

Sounds terrible. More of a thought piece than an actual, cat stroking conspiracy to take over the world. All of the above is hardly revelatory or even new in terms of direction of travel. This simply presents an opportunity for alignment and acceleration behind an approach like this, or something similar.

Also, tech corporates don’t need to invent a pandemic (not that they could anyway) in order to gain even more control. That’s already well under way. Has been since the advent of social media. No conspiracy, just the inevitable conclusion of the current course playing out in plain sight. The social dilemma on Netflix is worth a watch. You never know, you might learn something useful.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Yes. By people believing in things without any evidence.

That might be my opinion, and perhaps yours too, but it isn't theirs. Matters of faith can inolve very different levels of personal evidence but more often are simply taken on trust, because of culture.

Conspiracy theories can generally be objectively fact-checked. The evidence either exists or it doesn't. It's not wrapped up in ancient scripture.

You have proof that it wasn't neglect? You did state lack of care, which suggests it. I apologise if I misunderstood what you posted.

Neither of your mother's are unimportant. Why would you think that was my meaning? But you still want to make me feel guilt by implying that I made a distinction between two unrelated deaths. This is a much used ploy these days. Shame people. Question their morals. Condemn their ideals as immoral. And then cancel their right to reply. A fair debate in the eyes of the morally enlightened social warriors.

How about cut out the emotions and debate the issues?

Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers
