WHAT IS "4/20", THE CANNABIS CELEBRATION HELD ON APRIL 20?

- Monday, April 20, 2020 No Comments

In United States, and for a few years all over the world, the expression 4/20 returns as a leitmotif among cannabis users, sometimes used to describe themselves on dating apps, sometimes promoted as a real celebration of cons -culture. Explain what "four-twenty" really means.

First, we have the phenomenon 4/20, pronounced "four-twenty", in the United States. Several expressions allow to speak about it, like 4:20 or 4/20. 4:20 refers to the time, 4:20 pm in French, which is said to be the best time to smoke a joint, or the best excuse. The myth says that in 1971, a group of Californian teenagers, known as the "Waldos", met after school around 4:20 pm to share a joint. "Four-twenty" was later popularized by the rock group Grateful Dead, one of whose "Waldos" had affinities with a member of the group.

A whole tradition was born since the 70s, around 4:20 and this symbolic meeting for stoners, cannabis users. So much so that the numbers 4 and 20 have been reworked to form the date of April 20 (4/20 in English), the world day of celebration of cannabis and the counterculture. On April 20, several protests took place in the United States, and today around the world.

The price of a negative barrel of oil in the United States

- No Comments

The barrel of WTI is trading at nearly -9 dollars on the futures markets. Prices are suffering the full force of the collapse in demand and the saturation of storage capacities.

Never seen ! For the first in its history, American crude oil fell below the… 0 dollar mark. In the evening, the barrel of WTI is traded at nearly -9 dollars. Concretely, this means that producers pay $ 9 to give their barrel of oil. Never in the history of black gold has a barrel fallen into negative territory on the futures markets. This fall is mainly due to the expiration of contracts for delivery in May this Tuesday, but it highlights the headwinds that the oil market must face.

Black gold is suffering the brunt of the collapse in demand due to containment measures to stem the spread of the coronavirus. According to initial estimates, oil consumption worldwide has dropped by 20 million barrels per day (mb / d) and to more than 30 mb / d for the most pessimistic. Before the pandemic, the market was around 100 mb / d.

Where to store? In addition to this demand shock, there is a near saturation of storage capacities. The world is overflowing with black gold, no longer knowing what to do with it. Any pipeline or tanker at sea is used as an oil reserve. Ship rental prices have soared from $ 30,000 a day to more than $ 150,000.

5G at the origin of the coronavirus? A dangerous conspiracy theory

- No Comments

A conspiracy theory that 5G technology is behind the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic has had widespread success in recent weeks on social media. In the UK, the rumor has provoked concrete reactions with vandalized and burnt down 5G antennas as well as harassed workers in the street.

There are several versions of this theory. One claims that 5G electromagnetic waves poison cells in the human body, creating the virus. Another version claims that 5G emits radiation that weakens the immune system and makes people more likely to be infected. Finally, a final theory believes that the virus can "travel" via radio waves and mobile networks, and it is for this reason that it can travel so quickly around the world.

None of these theories are fact-based. Doctors, scientists, virologists and biologists have called them "nonsense".

The World Health Organization said that extensive studies have shown that no side effects on health have been detected as a result of "exposure to wireless technology".

The editorial staff of Observateurs de France 24 examined this conspiracy theory and more particularly one of the key people without its spread: Dr. Thomas Cowan, a controversial American doctor, under surveillance by medical authorities for having prescribed a unauthorized treatment of a woman with cancer.
