> But world governments panicked over COVID and threw everything in the dumpster. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

To be fair, Western governments these days are managing Post-Christian societies full of pampered hedonists who place their own personal survival above all other considerations.

To be fair, Western governments these days are managing Post-Christian societies full of pampered hedonists who place their own personal survival above all other considerations.

That may be true, but the worst of the pampered hedonists seem to be the ones populating the governments themselves. Rather than being the wise ones frustratedly attempting to lead the foolish, they are the biggest dupes of all. See one Joseph Biden for the grand example.
