Mathew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
One of the side effects of the Covid virus is that it spawned several millionaires and billionaires, who profited greatly from investments in pharmaceutical companies, as millions of vaccines became readily available. Others made tremendous profits by their investments in social media companies, which had become more essential because of the lockdowns.
Still other folk made their wealth by investing in the commodities, streaming services, and food delivery since people were hedged in with difficulty because of the need to stay put. Cars, and housing became decidedly more expensive as manufacturing plants were forced to shutter their doors, yet it was later discovered that the sales of automobiles shot way up between 2020 and 2022.
And supply chain problems were greatly increased, as container shipments slowed to a crawl, and the biggest ports were forced to suspend operations as the death toll from the virus mounted. At the same time, crypto-currencies experienced a phenomenal rise as persons betted that this would be the future of business transactions, and as a result many folk became crypto rich.
Proverbs 13:11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor shall increase.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
