When countries like Germany can borrow for 10 years at negative interest rates, how can it be that any part of the global vaccination drive is underfunded right now? Is it not obvious that even if just one country funded the entire effort it would reap HUGE dividends? https://t.co/QsJnEWR5Kj

@dieterjosef What is so great about driving4answers, the guy knows his history, is a real student of mechanical history, but is a NOT a purist. He even makes the most persuasive case for the GM LS engine series I’ve ever heard. Half persuaded me, pushrod V8s are not embarrassing dinosaurs.

Consumption patterns in the COVID crisis are literally opposite what we saw in the Global Financial Crisis (after 2008).
