I feel like some conspiracy theory types are going to have a lot to say here... something about how person X saw into the future and planned this 20 years ago. Let's get India some money, then we'll... steal it all back with a worldwide pandemic and GameStop shares. We just need Joe in China to help spread the disease, Moe in India to make bad policies, and Curly in the US to help create the worst divided politically people we've had in a century.
I'd argue Covid was the least of India's issues. They have huge fresh water shortages, the inability to grow enough food to feed their population. Huge pollution and global warming issues and a cou try who grew the population faster than their infrastructure. If covid was just the straw that broke the camels back, then that's a different story entirely.
... Joe in China to help spread the disease, Moe in India to make bad policies, and Curly in the US to help create the worst divided politically people...
What is this - a conspiracy to forget that Larry was part of the Stooges?
Larry, Moe, and Curly. Then Curly had to bow out. Shemp came in. Larry, Moe, and Shemp. Then Shemp left and it went seriously downhill from there, with "Joe", then "Curly Joe".
Not sure you are putting your finger on the problem here. There are powerful people scheming all around. Are you complaining about people looking into powerful people scheming, or are you complaining about stupid people fantasizing about powerful people scheming?
Oh, his finger is on the problem, all right. Omitting Larry from the Stooges roster was unforgivable. And thinking that the substitution of Joe Besser (of all people!) wasn't going to be noticed. Joe DeRita would even have been a better choice. If DesertNomad hadn't corrected the matter, I was going to have to step in myself.
