Hi there- well, Jesus, Allah, & Buddha, this Coronavirus is getting exponentially worse. Mother Nature is doing fine, Satellite Imagery shows less pollution, and less Climate Change, but us humans, not so much. The virus must be contained. That’s why everybody has to quarantine themselves. Work from home. If you go out, only do so to get groceries or other vital supplies such as medicine. If you were someone who made fun of people who worked at the grocery store, now is the time to apologize, and realize how vital their work is. I want to personally thank every truck driver who is out there still driving long distances delivering food to these grocery stores. If you can donate blood, please do so, because Red Cross is in short supplies. We are currently living under a blockade. Do you know who has been living under a blockade for the past 50 years? Palestinians. I hope people will give them more respect, and start to empathize what it’s like to go to the grocery store and not find what they are looking for. As for celebrities, we love you and your awesome movies, but we don’t need you to sing John Lennon, we need you to send some of your millions of dollars towards food and supplies to those who need it. I want to thank Barack Obama for his latest newsletter because quite frankly I’m super fed up, and until I have a paying job again, I’m only reporting to him and Bernie Sanders (Medicare For All, see how important this is now?). Shoutout to everybody in the Military who are out there shipping tons of CoronaVirus testing supplies throughout the globe. Good job, guys & gals, keep at it. Another thing, I find the stock market to be very suspicious. It’s almost as if someone was running the show for 3 years, and took a 3 week break, and all its gains just went away. In just 3 weeks. Is the economy that vulnerable? Took 3 weeks for the whole thing to crumble? I feel bad for government accountants, because they’re gonna have to pull their hair to get their heads around this. Anyway, stay safe, call your loved ones, have FaceTime with them, and find ways to stay busy during this difficult time.
Until next time!
