“A Tyrant does not make a Tyranny, rather the many petty tyrants that abuse people in their name.” –a quote I remember reading many years ago
Tomorrow, Jan 11 2022 will be 666 days since we abdicated our freedom to ‘flatten the curve’.
How’s that working out?
I notice at the end of that story the ornaments are still gone.
While reading an article about closures and shutterings of schools, especially in Chicago, one thing struck me beyond the mendacity of the teacher’s union in Chicago: the sheer number of school and business closures due to people being sequestered waiting on test results.
When you force 6 people to go home and wait for test results because of proximity to one sick person, what did they think would happen? Do they honestly expect to be able to staff a school, let alone a hospital or fast food joint?
The instant at home tests would be useful here.
Our federal and state governments have dropped the ball. They had a blank check to spend limitless amounts of money. Instead of ramping up the response to juggernaut proportions, they stopped doing much of anything and spent the money lining their pockets.
Why doesn’t everyone get masks delivered by the government? Why doesn’t everyone have a small supply of tests at home? Why don’t people who test positive get a swag bag of suppliments delivered to them?
Is it too much to ask that our politicians do something useful before getting themselves and their cronies richer?
More folks need to start thinking for themselves – is this even possible in today’s world of sheep?
Don’t Look Up!
“You might wonder why people would go out of their way to strip this tree of ornaments that had no monetary value other than to do it because they could get away with it.”
No need to wonder and imagine the culprits as secret NAZI that are bent on sadism caused by COVID. The author put a thing in a public place to be used by the public. A kid(s) passed by and took the ornaments. Was this malice or a symptom of COVID induced societal decay? No. It was just kids being kids and the importance of the ornaments in the author’s mind was not the same way the kids viewed a scraggly dead tree and some dirty soggy ornaments. But it was a nice way to get to the main point of the piece.
The way people reacted during the past few years has been revealing. We no longer need to wonder how the great sins of history happened. We have witnessed it happening in real time. People pushing old people out of line to get the vaccine first, healthcare distributed by race, punishing scapegoats, unaccountable government agencies breaking the law to create new diseases, and on and on.
Character is often said to be how you act when no one is looking but it is also how you act when things get tough, when there isn’t enough food and supplies, when there is uncertainty and risk of death. America as a whole failed the character test.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
This is interesting:
