Oh but the Media fear mongering will continue. It just drones on and on every day without end to the point where anyone who is still listening and taking the "news" seriously has got to have a screw loose at this point since it's not just a lie, it is all an Obvious lie.
"How can you say that, people are dying, yes, DYING from the Covid Virus every day!"
Yep, but apparently they aren't dying of anything else yet death stalks us every day at every turn. You could find blood in your stool tomorrow morning. I'd bet the last thing that would enter your head after that would be if you were going to catch the fucking flu.
It's all been over sold and the lock-downs just an economic suicide attempt by the Leftist governors of the Leftist States of America. In a move reminiscent of the Old South, the LS of A have made their own move at Secession. And just like the antebellum South, they are desperately trying to hold onto their untenable and outmoded way of life, the life of Taxpayer Servitude, the new slaves of the Liberal wealth redistributors. In this world, nobody ever gets too much. What you earn, you do not own. Your money is theirs to dole out to whomever they deem downtrodden. Except you, you stupid shit, you just get to pay so shut up, sit down and keep pretending this is real.
The Mask as a Symbol of Oppression
The hoax of the virus is that it's so deadly that the whole world has to stop, that you have to not work and go on the Dole, that you have to stop living your life and instead be in fear of losing it.
You call this living?
And the weird thing is, nobody really believes it anymore. People are walking around with their masks on their chins because it's ridiculous. Why are people wearing masks out side? There is a family that must live on my block because I encounter them out walking way too often for my liking. I call them the Fear Family because when they encounter me on the sidewalk, knowing full well by now that I'm not going to move, will walk in a line out in the street. And when they do this, I sing my "Covid Song" at them:
"Living in fear! Everybody's living in fear!
Hold onto your life, oh what a fright.
Stay away from every one, this is the life!"
Those stupid, stupid people. Wearing masks outside in the fresh fucking air and going out of their way to avoid people on the God-damned sidewalk. Fear much?
Few people are dying of this. Take away the 82.5% of the deceased Massachusetts residents who were in nursing homes and hardly anybody has died of this in the state. Nobody 20 and under has died.
"Oh, but people 20 and under HAVE died." the fearful will chorus but what does that mean? Someone, somewhere, in a nation of 300 plus million people, has died of this. What are the odds?
"You must watch quite a bit of television." I'll answer since it's the television watchers who are the most fearful and stupid people I've met since this bullshit started.
There was a woman in work who repeated the lie she heard on TV like it was the gospel, that children with not symptoms are the most likely to spread the disease. It was apparent to me that she was incapable of rational thought since all flues are spread by the most obvious symptom: coughing. If you ain't coughing, you ain't spreading the virus. The report was later rescinded but the damage was done.
It was all a big lie. Covid didn't stay alive on surfaces for 24 freakin' hours, didn't survive in the cold, people didn't have it for two weeks before they knew they had it, children, rather than being "carriers" rarely even got it and if you need a fucking test to tell you that you've got it, how sick are you really if you didn't already know?
How stupid you must feel. But you should be feeling angry at the politicians that tried putting this over on us.
The lie is that hardly anyone outside of a nursing home is dying of this yet the states are cracking down on business harder than ever. I have been getting my coffee at a local quick mart for the last six months where it's self-serve. After 6 months of this, the state has told them no more self-serve. They now have to pour people's coffee for them. Does that make sense?
None of this has made sense from the beginning. It's not about public health. It's about creating chaos. With mobs in the streets, the mayors and governors doing nothing about it, closing businesses and basically refusing to take charge, chaos grows.
Riots Not Polling Well
Scaring Middle American has never been a winning strategy and the Political Left never seems to get that. Or it's that they are incapable of any other strategy since they don't actually have any ideas. The Obama brand of fatalist pessimism still permeates the Democratic Party. They've got nothing else to offer.
But now even the Democrats are getting uneasy. Not because of the riots and violence but at the Perception of the riots and violence. They seem to be concerned that people are seeing such things in a negative light. People aren't running to join the Anarchist Revolution, they are instead running out of the states where the Revolutionaries are going crazy with the looting and burning.
Bad optics, they're saying. But still not a finger lifted by state government to stop it.
Everywhere, No Money
The states who've locked down the most stand to lose a bundle. But no Federal funds will be coming their way most likely ever. Since Donald Trump will win in a landslide, he's not going to be writing checks to New York, California, Main, Rhode Island or Massachusetts period. The House and Senate will look different and there may be less will on their part to even talk about state bailouts.
No, no, the states are on their own and have lost billions to the point of half the state budget is not coming in by way of taxes. How long the governors think they can defy gravity is anybodies guess but at some point, someone is going to need to get their money and it won't be there.
Then what?
Great post! An endearing combination of far-sighted political forecasting and community spirited behaviour. You sir are a true patriot, and the founders would be proud to witness your heroic acts of resistance to leftist stupidity.
ReplyDeleteA recommendation that might brighten your day: whilst you're unable to use the self serve coffee machine at quick mart, try purchasing one from somewhere else. Spread around your support for local businesses and fight back against the anarchist revolution at the same time!
