Here we go again!
Brainwashing at its best! Brought to you by the billionaires at the WEF that owned the companies that destroyed the environment. Now they want to fix it, and they want you to own nothing and rent out your living room for yoga classes. Only you won’t get the rent, that’ll go straight to Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates to fund their one way trip to Mars! All they need is you to be scared enough to give away everything. Looks like it’s working. Enjoy dummies!
