Examples of this include the forced retirement of the best automotive refrigerant ever developed - Freon - which cools faster and deeper than the replacements that were forced onto the market by forcing Freon off the market - in the name of the "ozone hole" but in actuality because of expiring

patents on Freon that meant it would be much cheaper to make it and so cheaper to buy it than the "ozone-friendly" replacements forced onto the market.
Another example is gasoline - which has been largely forced off the market in favor of
adulterated gasoline. What most Americans are forced to pump into their tanks is actually 10 percent ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and only 90 percent gasoline.
Soon, there may be no gasoline at all.
Not because people don't want it but rather because they won't be able to buy it. Because of new laws proliferating forbidding the selling of it.
As in Petaluma, California - where the city council just voted to prohibit new gas stations from being built and also that existing gas stations may not install
new pumps. "The goal here is to move away from fossil fuels and to make it as easy as possible to do that," says one of the legislation's main backers, D'Lynda Fischer.
She means
her goal;
the goal of those forcing their views upon the people of Petaluma. It will be made "easier" for them to not buy gas, in order to make it
harder for them to not drive cars that burn gasoline.
See how that works?
It has to work that way, too - because the non-psychopathic way of free exchange determining what succeeds and fails makes it harder to get people to give up what works for them in favor of what "works" for
the political psychopaths who regard their way as the only way and intend to make it "easier" for you to see it their way.
Comment: It's the same story all over the Western world. And, whilst statistics provide some insight into what's going on in the economy, they don't reveal the true cost and the suffering caused by the lockdowns. Moreover, one could be forgiven for thinking that if this impact to the economy wasn't intentional then, at the very least, it appears that those in power don't care about what they are still doing to small and medium businesses:
- 'We are essential!' French workers protest lockdown in Toulouse as country's economy slides further into recession
- Lockdown wipes out US economy, contracts by worst-ever 32.9% in Q2
- Pandemic pushers, economy destroyers and sold out science: Imperial College are still open for business
- "Tip of the iceberg": UK's foodbank demand soars 47% during lockdown - world's 5th wealthiest economy
