I'm a NZ citizen myself, but for me it had little to do with Covid handling. And James Cameron is not correct. Covid vaccination rates did not even make it to 90%, much less 98%.

Oh yeah, that's his day job.

I'm back on nostr. BTC can now go up again.

I haven't been using nostr for a while. So you haven't seen my events because I wasn't creating any. But this is cool. I'm glad it is working for you. I feel good about developing chorus, I think I did good work there. Better than I feel about gossip.

Yeah I haven't. And bitcoin fell. Maybe I need to be on here to get bitcoin pumping again?

Maybe someone living in US can answer that. I suspect that heavy crude, exported from Venezuela to the US after the US installs their preferred regime, refined in Texas heavy crude refineries, will drop the price of gasoline in the US. Also it is another chip in the reputation of the US, which may have knock on effects diplomatically with many nations. But those are harder to judge. As for the drug trade, I don't think that will change at all, I suspect that is 100% a cover story and legal mechanism to make the joint operation legal.
