For many years, a handful of people have postulated that those who control industry, finance and governments are essentially the same people – a cabal of sorts that have, over generations, solidified their relationships in order to gain greater wealth and power, whilst systematically making things ever more difficult for the free market to exist.

U.K. Covid-19 Variant Could Be More Deadly, British Officials Say
British public-health officials warned that the new coronavirus variant first identified in the country last month could be significantly more lethal as well as more contagious, raising the stakes in the global vaccination race.

Thanks, But $600 Stimulus Checks Won’t Go Far, Say Americans
A majority of respondents in a Bankrate.com survey said the payments are not enough to cover their financial needs for even a month.
It’s just not enough.
As a second round of government stimulus checks starts to reach Americans, that’s the hard reality for many recipients, according to a new Bankrate.com survey. More than half of the people surveyed — 53% — who’d received a check or were expecting one don’t anticipate it being enough to cover their financial needs for even a month.
