Waking Up in a Post-Pandemic World: Reality or Simulation?

Join us as we dissect the far-reaching impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on society. From unprecedented natural disasters to the politicization of vaccines, we explore the turbulent landscape of recent years. We scrutinize pandemic management, inequalities in vaccine access, and concerns about future preparedness. The economic and social implications, including income inequality and government stimulus, are under our microscope.

Did COVID-19 signal the end of neoliberalism? We analyze the shift towards nationalism and its effects on global markets and partnerships.

Our discussion spans the globe, from a global cost of living crisis to protests and potential economic slowdowns. We examine US government decision-making processes, its international sector control, and China's rising competition.

Why is China a threat? We explore shifts in global currencies, and consider geopolitical tensions in the western Indian Ocean and the Arabia Peninsula.

Join us as we unravel the complex web of pandemic repercussions and global transformations!
