America may be less reactive due to more freedoms but it certainly doesn’t seem more free when visits to those in long term facilities are limited to 1 hour a week fully masked. And we are constantly under assault of threats to lose even that. Just my opinion.
"When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils, but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles: every other correction is either useless or a new evil."
Thos Jefferson quoting Baron de Montesquieu
That’s truly a sad situation. I’m so sorry.
