We will remember this time in history as the time where everything went wrong all at once. Between Covid, forest fires, floods, earthquakes and people fighting each other, probably not even knowing why. So, to add salt to the wound, there are even problems with obtaining planes to be able to shuttle those who…

Let's take a step backwards and give you the background about why…
