The environment made a recovery:

I write about how the issue of money is going to become a necessity, very soon, and how it is actually justified by the Joules of energy being received from the sun. I am a Systems Engineer, and have been following the environmental issue since around 2017 when it became apparent to me during my PhD candidate project, that we actually have it all wrong on energy and economy, by our handling all energy as if it is capital which has to be extracted, but actually it isn't, nature doesn't handle it that way at all.

I don't know about you, but I remember being out in May 2020, and noticing smells of nature in the air, which I had not smelled in forty years, smells that took me back to my early teens, and never realised in life that those smells had even gone missing.

That was my own personal confirmation that the environment was recovering, before we saw it confirmed in scientific articles.

I don't really believe Trump did this intentionally, I think the massive stimulus was issued for his own greed, but it did upset the whole applecart of capitalism in many ways, showing us what was possible, which maybe he doesn't understand either, therefore never talks about it.

Hey-ho, all I can say is that some of us, knowing what things to look for at the time were looking, and we noticed, it all made sense to us.
