When I watched the Event 201 simulation, I couldn’t help but wonder at the business leaders present. Why would they acquiesce to take part in something like this, knowing full well that a shut-down is going to cost them a lot of money? The only conclusion i could arrive at, was that all this “government assistance” being given out that has to be paid back in taxes, is going to be funneled to these corporations as compensation for taking part in this scheme.
That we should just aswell get comfortable because aspects of this lockdown are going to be permanent. They are making people despair and to lose faith in the future. Is this going to change our lives? Yes, but we can’t lose all hope. These few lines (bolded) got me thinking that this permanency could be maintained if something happened and the oil prices shot up due to a shortage, similar to what a conflagration in the ME would have done.
‘People are adapting’
And it’s not just business economics. The way people live may be changing.
Social distancing and working from home — and all the changes in consumption that comes with it — began as a temporary change. And now it may be becoming routine. And the longer it lasts, the more people may embrace aspects of the lifestyle, permanently.
“People are adapting to a more local existence and living off more sustainable activities, consuming less globally-produced fresh food, producing less waste with a more conservative approach to consumption, all of which may have lasting impacts on demand,” Currie added. “Further, commuters and airlines account for c.16.0 million b/d of global oil demand and may never return to their prior levels.”
When the coronavirus crisis recedes, people will surely want to get back on the road and do things like they used to before the outbreak. But again, the risk is tight energy supplies may quickly translate to higher prices for things.
“While oil prices are low today and physical constraints are forcing the behavioral changes, as oil shortages develop once economic activity normalizes, the high oil prices will likely accelerate the energy transition by constraining demand,” Currie said.
What iam tired of seeing are articles such as these:Personally, I see this as nothing less than an all out initiation of the New World Order and their plans. Put people on lockdown for 18 months, feed them terrrifying news, cancel all other entertainment and activities, and when we come out we will have a fully traumatized population ready to do what they're told, which includes mandatory vaccines, digital chipping, everyone going on UBI because most peoples work has evaporated meaning the government can tell you what is and is not a good use of your funds and no hope to expand prosperity, government rationed food of laboratory meat and who knows what else.
How coronavirus could permanently change our lives, according to Goldman Sachs
The coronavirus pandemic has come with changes in the way people live. Some of those changes will be temporary. Some will be permanent.
