The pandemic happened. It was real. But the real destructive force was not the Coronavirus.
The evil was the insanity of lockdowns, mandates and burdening future generations with massive government debts.
Compare this modern madness with the compassion and sense of fiscal restraint implicit in the attitudes of Javanese noblewoman, R A Kartini, when talking about what her father, a Regent, could do for the victims of floods in her era, the early 1900's:
"....... the rulers do all that is possible to mitigate the distress. Last year a fishing village lay for a whole week under water; day and night Father remained at the scene of the disaster. Out of special funds that were at the disposal of the Government, the breaks in the dikes were restored for some kilometers. But who was to give back to the people what the water had taken away from them?"
God Bless Good Government.
Lets pray to get it back.
Roll the dice.
Lockdowns are based on the idea of quarantine, but at a very large scale.
The colander ‘lockdowns’ were a miserable failure.
Vaccination could have started in April 2020, but were delayed until Trump was defeated. I advocated for a graduated Fibonacci rollout, but Trump felt he could learn nothing from freerepublic (and he is not the only such Republican).
As for the financials, Americans have been motivated by low interest rates to spend everything they have. This Federal Reserve policy left them with no financial reserves. Congress felt obliged to give people money to replace the money the federal government encourage people to spend.
Quarantines come from the ancient practice of requiring arriving ships from problem areas to drop anchor at the port of entry for 40 days to ensure the crew are disease-free. “Lockdowns” of entire swaths of citizenry regardless of their medical status are an idea hatched in the diseased minds of liberals, have nothing to do with traditional quarantines of the sick, and were completely illegal and unconstitutional, whereby millions were deprived the freedom to travel unencumbered, to earn a living, were forced to submit to dubious antigens (an invasive medical procedure) or suffer social consequences, or speak openly and freely about it, all without due process. Tyranny isn’t coming, it’s here baby.
