I wonder what else is going on at this time - everyone watches the point of drama, while the magician goes to work in the background.

Exactly. Eeeeeeeeeexactly!

Big mining companies get better deals in the north, farm industry can pollute more, forests and swamps, nothing good for those either. And people get caught up in a debate about should a mask recommendation been given last spring and whose fault was it and should someone be fired because of that. And bunch of fascists and racists say jump and people ask how high.

Oh, oh, and the latest distractor: a sausage made of vegetables should not be called a sausage. WHO CARES?! I can read what it contains, apparently those who think a vegetable sausage shouldn't be called a sausage, can't. And poof, 100 animal and plant species are extinct. But that's not important. Sausage is.
