[quote:Anonymous Coward 72881814:MV80NjM0ODA1Xzg0NDEwMTkyX0FGM0JCMjRD] Despite the streets being littered with dropped rifles (only used once!) and lots of tanks backing up through town, we at least have well-stocked supermarkets and an abundance of vegetables and all sorts of luxury foods. France has been fertile land for humans for 10,000s of years, covid ain’t gonna change that. However it is going to make everything more local. Next steps will be the larger EU countries dealing with regional conflicts as we regress to the Middle Ages. [/quote]
