Despite the catastrophic impact
of the pandemic, the global governmental responses, and the environmental
consequences, are highlighting a very real opportunity to make some positive
changes to our existence.
At the same time, it’s not just
environmental activists (and hedge fund managers) who are seeing opportunities.
Trump seems determined to turn the global catastrophe of Covid-19 into a
personal campaign to consolidate electoral support from his voter base who somehow
seem to believe that he is their best chance of salvation.
In the UK, Johnson is clearly going for the sympathy vote, despite his piss-poor record in dealing with difficult situations, and his government being disastrously wrong-footed by the pandemic. Meanwhile his under-donkeys, Raab & Gove are frantically gaming the situation for maximum personal career development.
It’s probably not a complete non-sequitur
to visit the definition of the word hypocrite
at this point. It’s from the Greek word hypokrites, which means “an actor” or “a stage player,” at a time
when the actors wore large masks to mark which character they were playing.
