So here's a thought.

Let's look at New Zealand and those other countries with the most severe lockdown restrictions:

New Zealand - Socialist country - low impact from covid
Venezuela - Socialist country - low impact from covid
Eritrea - Socialist country - low impact from covid
Peru - No longer socialist - high impact from covid
Chile - No longer socialist - high impact from covid
Honduras - No longer socialist - high impact from covid
Argentina - No longer socialist - high impact from covid
Ireland - No longer socialist - high impact from covid

Let me know if you see pattern starting to develop.



I suppose... there would be no point in a Great Reset of economies in countries that are already utilizing the economy system that you're looking to reset to...

I suppose it could just be coincidence though too. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

Well if they want a "reset" wish is my command, a series of storms that destroy cities, <---that is a better reset in my eyes, given how much i hate people of today. Long story short, i'm not like everyone else, i only act like you to blend in.

If people don't want to listen to the reason covid 19 happened and change, then annihilation is in order.....sadly something has to be done, if a small event can't make people see the truth, a bigger one will be forced to take it's place. You're not gonna like... start shooting people that aren't wearing masks, are you?

Like, seriously, this is the second time you've alluded to killing people who... won't follow the rules... are you okay, dude? I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

I would never harm anyone, That's all I needed to hear. You're speaking metaphorically, all good. Just checking, because I've seen some messed up things happen... but we're all good here now.

everyone has a choice
Well that's a paradox. How can it be sealed in stone, if "everyone has a choice" to do the right thing or "do the wrong thing"? If everything is sealed in stone already, then, no one can be blamed for their decisions or their actions.

even if i warned people, they wouldn't listen anyways. I know the feeling. I spent time saying "hey, hey, hey, you guys have to pay attention" and most people just dismissed me. A month later everyone is like "omg, there's this virus..." and I'm like "yeah, that's what I was talking about a month ago, but you weren't paying attention". 8 months later, people are like "they just got leaked documents and China was falsifying the data" and I'm like "yeah... I was telling you that 8 months ago".

Maybe, eventually, if you're right enough times, people will start taking notice.

Or maybe they won't. Who knows... I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

And now covid is causing beer shortages all over the world... or rather, a lack of bubbles for the beer. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

So...

The last couple of years, there have been some carbon dioxide gas shortages, mainly around Europe and Mexico.

CO2 shortage explained: Why Europe and Mexico are running out of the gas and what that means for Canada - 2018

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/why-theres-a-co2-shortage

CO2 shortage ‘could happen again’ - 2019

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/why-theres-a-co2-shortage

(it didn't, at least not in 2019)

But, then the outbreak hit.

Over in North America, the CGA (Compressed Gas Association) issued a press release on March 20th, letting everyone know how important they were and that the CGA and it's members were "Essential", and that everyone relies on them.

Press Release: Medical Gas Manufacturing and Distribution Are “Essential” to Respond to COVID-19

https://www.cganet.com/cga-release-medical-gas-manufacturing-distribution-declared-essential-to-covid-19-response/

Original message details are unavailable.
Therefore, state and local officials should ensure that the medical gas manufacturing and distribution model continues without interruption to safely and efficiently reach patients in the response to COVID-19. It's not a threat.

A week later, the CGA signed an "Industry Letter" proclaiming themselves along with other industries who signed, as "Essential", with demands that their operations not be hindered by any covid regulations.

Another week later, the CGA leads a coalition warning the Vice President of a risk of a "carbon dioxide shortage"

Industry Coalition Sends Letter to U.S. Vice President Warning of Risk of Carbon Dioxide Shortage

https://www.cganet.com/industry-warns-risk-of-carbon-dioxide-shortage-in-us/

Basically a "we want you to make our industry more profitable, if you don't there will be a carbon dioxide shortage" letter. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

A few months later, CGA posts the following press release:

Compressed Gas Industry Expects Sufficient Dry Ice Supply for COVID-19 Vaccines in U.S. & Canada

https://www.cganet.com/compressed-gas-industry-expects-sufficient-dry-ice-supply-for-covid-19-vaccines-in-us-canada/

Original message details are unavailable.
Some of the COVID-19 vaccines currently under development require storage and transportation at extremely low temperatures. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is needed to reach and maintain those temperatures.

The majority of carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry ice in the U.S. and Canada is produced by member companies of the Compressed Gas Association (CGA).

According to CGA members, the current production capacity for carbon dioxide and dry ice is expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated demand from vaccine manufacturers. There is also potential capacity to increase production and distribution of dry ice for COVID-19 vaccines, if needed. Our industry is committed to supporting the need for dry ice in the U.S. and Canada, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hmm... crisis averted I guess. I mean, it's not like the CGA was threatening to withhold supplies that they knew would be required for storage and transportation of the vaccines... or did they? I mean, there were scientists who were working on vaccines before the WHO even admitted there was human-to-human contact. "Know your customer base" as they say.

So yeah, crisis averted. No C02 shortage in Canada or the USA. May the beer stay bubbly!

But... umm, what about Europe? Where are they going to get the bubbles for their beer from?

A European C02 Shortage Has Led to Beer Rationing in the UK—in the Middle of the World Cup

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/549715/european-c02-shortage-has-led-beer-rationing-uk-middle-world-cup

Europe's C02 shortage showed up at the same time that the CGA was "not making threats" about a C02 shortage.

What's Europe going to do with no dry ice for vaccines? I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

How can they make enough dry ice in such a short time? Shipping is apparently an issue with the dry ice during the pandemic, so most of it will have to be produced locally. But how can they produce that much?

No worries, China has that covered. They'll be selling dry ice machines all over the world, anywhere that the vaccines are being sold.

China eyes large export marketplace for dry ice machines as COVID-19 vaccines roll out

https://canadianpathram.com/china-eyes-large-export-marketplace-for-dry-ice-machines-as-covid-19-vaccines-roll-out/

But, alas, what good is a dry ice machine if you don't have carbon dioxide gas for it?

Guess which country just raised their hand and said "Oh, no worry, we'll sell you all the carbon dioxide you could need"? That's right! It's China!

After all, China is the largest exporter of carbon dioxide gas, and well, also the largest polluter of carbon dioxide emmissions into the atmosphere.

And well, dammit, if the Western world is going to force China to stop emitting so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, then China will collect it, and force the Western world to buy it from them.






So yeah. That's how covid caused a shortage of bubbles for beer, and that's why you gotta sip the stuff slowly. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus,

You can't make this stuff up... they're so oblivious to the comedic irony... I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!
