I used to figure that people would open their eyes over time but across the world that isn’t the case. Here in the U.S. the media keeps being overly hysterical about positive cases. I used to joke that there should be a ban on reporting cases.
Imagine if the flu was reported like this. Also the way they have never just said that certain people are at a higher risk than others and of course the “it’s ok to protest” narrative.
Just makes me sick to see people who are chicken little or someone who tells me that people have died
But they have scared so many people into thinking a positive case is a death sentence. That is criminal
And who will prosecute? We have seen this repeatedly through our history when we took off the blinders. Fast and furious was the illegal sale of automatic rifles to drug cartels that ended up in the deaths of us citizens and were used in terror attacks globally. No prosecution. General Miller openly committed treason. No Prosecution. Repeated intentional intelligence leaks by democrats for profit over the past decade. No prosecution. The sale of nuclear weapon capability to China. No prosecution. The Patriot Act, clear sedition of the constitution. No Prosecution. This will not end until the public ends it by force.
Totally agree. The government routinely violates the constitution
I think the problem we are in now is one of things the founding fathers worried about. We have grown to large as a country to have a centralized government, and as we grow larger, the more centralized it becomes. Frankly even states are to large and broken up culturally to properly be able to govern.
This is true.
I live in a rural backwater of a blue state. County would be hard red if not for college student voting skewing it towards purple (the population is just that low.) The state's urban centers have complete electoral dominance over the rest of the state-- the only reason the state is governable at all is because the urban voting blocs ecede any accountability ("Vote blue no matter who"), so the state government is run somewhere between a corrupt banana republic junta and a late soviet union puppet state. Every problem's become a nail for the hammer of "more government" to hit.
I've often wondered just when my state passed that point where increasing taxes causes revenue decline due to lower overall economic activity. I feel like it was late 80s, early 90s. It would be an interesting data science sort of experiment, but nobody who matters would want to see the results...
Agree completely
