Historians will one day certainly be able to determine what happened during the previous year and this year, and in which direction it all led and went, but to us who live in this Now - any broader picture of the outcome eludes us. And again:
Someone funny posted a picture of a full coffee shop on social media and wrote under it "2019 BC Before Corona." Before Christ (BC), which we used until now to describe how long ago something once was, is becoming a constant reminder that people "long, long ago", back before Corona, lived freely. And above all, free from the fear that mathematical probability will lead them to make a personal contribution to morbid graphs about those infected and deceased from the Contagion. All those who cannot bear this mathematics, have replaced it with a slightly different logical system - and some system must overcome this - whose axioms are Conspiracy, Fraud, Deception, Power and Profit. In the lobby of those two worlds there is an injection with a vaccine. And the freedom, one of the few remaining, to make an essentially easy decision about what to fight and in what way.
For time to start flowing again.

And if - apart from the fact that time seems to stand still - some strange mechanism rolled under us, here are a couple of pictures that explain it.
The institution that deals with recording statistics from the Environment announced that the prices of products in fisheries and agriculture jumped by over 40 percent from September last year to September this year. To put it simply, a good part of what we eat is now almost half the price. You should be about a third less hungry, considering that salaries and pensions are not increasing. We will now add another zero to the figure from above, in order to register the fact that the most valued digital currency - Bitcoin - has increased its value by about 400 percent in the past year alone. Electronic economic bettors will be four times more satisfied. If that's even possible.
Then: Elon Musk, the star of our hyperproduction and consumer culture, decided to sell some shares, in order to slightly reduce the amount of money that should be set aside for paying taxes. He increased that a little bit more, so the total amount of shares sold this week is about eight billion dollars. In the same week, it was discovered that Vietnamese workers were working on the construction site of a factory in Zrenjanin, whose passports had been confiscated. Slaves, therefore, are the furthest thing from a tax-concerned Musk, in general.
And especially in the XXI century.

And now we can arrange these pictures like this to the point of insanity. And there is no need. The point is that this global medical disorder has brought with it subsequent civilizational bipolar disorders: some are getting rich in the electronic-technological future, others have been forcefully returned to the ancient times of chains and whips. Which is quite compatible with the division into those who have and use never-before-available information and those who were told about the Conspiracy by a neighbor who was informed about it by the uncle of his best friend's sister, by a colleague who told him what his acquaintance from the betting shop had learned from a woman with with which he was waiting in the supermarket. As a kind of icing on the cake of these times, there was a need for Leaders who would pull us out of this surreality, and this need was paralleled by the fact that those who "pull us out" were never further from reality. And that, in short, is our Environment.
The combination of Heaven and Hell, who for some reason, after centuries of separation, finally decided to continue living together, right now and right here.
Well, good luck to you, newlyweds. In the environment and beyond.
