One good thing out of this:

The forced integration of technology in all business and institutions.

I always felt frustrated as people and businesses ignored the use of newly developed technologies to ease life and improve efficiencies, teachers rejecting to change and learn new tools and communicate electronically, and government not putting measures to support such technologies.

Now, everyone is on board by order of government or with a threat of losing lively hood.

This will be a big push for Silicon Valley in years ahead.

If you were not convinced before about the importance of UBI (#UniversalBasicIncome) , you will be convinced soon.

320M x $12000/year = $3.8 Trillion

Comes from:

$2.5 Trillion reallocated spending
$1.3 Trillion increased government revenue

Islam, although having its own heritage sets of superstitions, is to be thanked for eradicating 80-90% of the superstitions existing in Arabia when it came.

The Rule of Today:
Everything is a lie till proven by authenticated scientific evidence or respected journalistic resources. It doesn’t matter who shared it.

The corona virus has revealed all the hidden ignorances that we have, from health care, to conspiracy theories, to mask frenzy, to pseudo medicine, to religious superstition.

The job of journalism is to piss off governments and people in power. Once they don’t, they are not journalism anymore.
