Covid doesn't help people. Oil and gas can be thanked for everything in the modern world including medicine, infrastructure, GDP, etc etc etc.

Billions would die if oil and gas all of a sudden stopped coming out of the ground.

That someone would write such a vapid headline is disheartening. That there is a target audience for this is disheartening.

The world truly is getting dumber, and it's time to just splinter into future haves and future have nots.

Can you imagine a world map split ideologically based on capitalism VS socialism rather than ethnic lines?

I think the point they make is that emissions from oil and gas industry are as deadly as Covid. Medicine, infrastructure, GDP all existed before we started to exploit large scale fossil fuel deposits. It would make our civilisation a lot more sustainable in the long run if we could mainly rely on renewables.

There is no capitalism/socialism only mixed economies.

Even in highly socialist countries black markets exist.
