Wow, the one man who believe shoving a torch down your nose to kill a virus believes that you can adjust a complex web of interconnected economic activity by shouting at it. What a time to be alive.

Well, we will know things will have gotten real bad when they start approaching sex offenders for fertility studies in an Operation Paperclip type arrangement

BRICS: For some reason, we’re going to make a money laundering collective for dictatorships and be shocked when people call us up on it and we’ll blame the EU

This worked out great for Lenin and Stalin who just skipped the middle step and outlawed the church, then put their statues everywhere
