I am quite a pessimistic person, and I have not believed in the possibility of change in the socio-economic system in which we live for a long time and when the pandemic started and many people saw in it an opportunity for this change, I saw it as very dark. Mainly because many economic alternatives that I knew and that I saw, such as organic stores, small cooperatives were very affected by the pandemic. And that did not happen with the big supermarkets, the big chains, which are the ones that now sell the most, because people cannot move to support their cooperatives, their small stores, in another neighborhood. I think that from this pandemic the big companies are going to come out much stronger, while small businesses, as well as some economic and social movements that have already started to emerge in recent years, will be much more affected.  On the other hand, many people also tell me that during this pandemic more and more people realize the need to produce their own food, that many people no longer know if in two or three months they will be able to buy food in the supermarket, because there are also countries that have already closed the borders to export their own food production, so suddenly we live in a system where countries really keep their food within their borders. We have to produce our own food. So there are many possibilities, opportunities, but I still think that as soon as the pandemic ends we will return to the same system as before, except that it will be much worse because there will be fewer jobs, which means that people will work in even more vulnerable conditions, worse conditions, and that will greatly harm people in many of the sectors.
