In ‘20 as in’16, the first ate the second one alive. One of the most important activities on earth has been reduced to a carnival show, overseen by unscrupulous people who couldn’t care less. I hope at least some of them are using this time to think about what they’ve done again.

Unfortunately a lot of the people are selfish, stupid enablers of the first group. That repository doesn't seem very safe.
