Well, AstraZeneca has developed a vacine that can be stored in a refrigerator instead of those needing to be stored ultra cold. Like our most used vaccines today. It has also promised to share with 'developing countries' at cost, so they can afford it.
" Unlike the two vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, which require ultra-cold storage, the AstraZeneca vaccine can be kept in the kind of conventional fridge used to store vaccines around the world, with a shelf life of up to six months."

the effect on shares hasn't stalled. They sunk, around 4 percent. It just isn't profitable

What I tend to think of as 'role models in action'.
Your role models

Profits have many expressions, most of them benevolent. It allows us to share earths bounty's.It allows us to live. But then we have the game, in where the one that dies richest wins. They become extremes, constantly protected by laws, as in a multinational becoming just as legal a 'citizen' as you, so when it goes bankrupt the blame is on nobody, except itself. The same goes for it exploiting, raping, killing our earth.

They need to be marginalized. They need to be controlled. They're not. Instead they become your defender of your GDP, they need to be cuddled.

Those laws didn't come from nowhere. And the reason they are there is to protect our game of inequality and profits.
It's like a drug. Constantly craving more.

And behind that are ideals and beliefs. Greed, hubris, ignorance and stupidity.

And they're using you to support it. You buy shares in them, you want to get rich too. You think you're 'smart'.

We can't regulate this by 'grassroot' interventions. We can regulate it though, by a democracy that's not compromised any longer. A fair voting. And fair information.

You can draw a direct parallel from this to the idea of private institutions 'aiding', versus having a wellfare state that see to the needs of its citizens.

It becomes a question of cuddling that too, to some. Your staunch defenders of the game. Some of it coming from ignorance, some of it sheer stupidity.

But that's not the whole truth. It's also about egoism, greed and hubris. And it paints a ugly picture of who you are.

To it we need to add the 'dimension' of those seeing a welfare state as a mean to keeping the game afloat in troubled times. A mean of not letting you get a democracy.

Keeping you quiet by a little more money in your wallet, hoping that this will work. It probably does, doesn't it?
