Thanks for the grim view Richard, I take heart now that you maybe see the (Unconscious?) intent of elites is a cull, therefore browbeating the population into believing we are all gonna die anyway plays into their hands.
So my question to you is why are you taking Xmas off?
Xmas is when the audiences in Medium will be highest, therefore a time of maximum activity for influencers.
If you were really dedicated to making a difference, would you not be seeing Xmas as an opportunity to make most impact, if only to "Fight your corner"?
On the other hand I don't grudge you a break, your articles show the hard work you put in, I wish you all the best, merry Xmas.
