Yes, the way #COVID19 was handled was akin to #DisasterCapitalism here in #Australia, a lot of crap no one needed.

There are stories of the establishment #frontRunning the #pandemic and divesting from #innerCities and selling #stocks etc.

Funny how when there were no masks to sell the #establishment told us we didn't need them. Anyone with half a braincell used what they could to mask up.
