7:23 pm
climate numbers that we can no longer predict would certainty. that's an error that keep drivers of what is a group that minute, fisher, and then you up to that economy. doctors that when observing, even before the court 19 pandemic, they were crisis, economy cried is over the war. then when it brings you to promise, now they come in not deep and then it comes just to lad with all its strength more . it kind of gets low down due to the majors to contain it. and these kid drivers climate awfully. an economy is low down, i creating more problems because not only updating his, if i, there cells, but also they are having full biodefense and, or double that they create a lot of problems for the more valuable because of the existing inequalities. they wore cost of macy's wars and you're saying, but it shows that people the ivr level as you mentioned them, of course, how do you even measure hunger and oversee means different things to different people in the same way. the poverty means different things to different people
