>>1705665>Do you know more details?QRD: The US paid China to engineer a virus marginally more dangerous than the flu which they """accidentally""" released in late 2019, causing a global media-fueled panic. Then China and the leader of the US agency who funded the research lead a crusade to exploit the panic to completely crater the world economy, globally normalize a wide array of oppressive """health""" measures, generally instill fear and compliance in a world where a worrying amount (for the ruling classes) of populist uprisings had been lately occurring. Australia, for example, is now competitive with North Korea in the 'Most Oppressed Population' ratings.
As an ancillary side effect to all this, bikes and bike parts are pretty tough to get hold of sometimes.
