Letter to the President
Self | 26 April 2020 | Me

Dear Mr. President,

You've been snookered by the "experts". President Nixon was snookered by the "experts" when they convinced him to order wage and price controls. The "experts" will always give disastrous advice because they rely on models, and no model can yet accurately predict a living system.

Climate models can't predict next year's climate because climate models are based on limited variables and a closed system. The Earth is not a closed system. Nor is the Solar System. We can, at best, guess at future climates and weather based on past experience, but we should always be humble and conservative in our guesses.

Epidemiology models can also be flawed, especially when a disease is not well understood. And if a disease is not well understood, then "expert" predictions must be cautiously considered.

We were spooked by China's response to Covid-19. They quarantined an entire province. We were convinced the disease was like the second coming of the Black Death. So we shut down society and readied our hospitals; we cleared the decks and prepared for action.

However, now we see the disease is not necessarily more deadly than the seasonal flu. Or, perhaps, our initial preparation ameliorated its affect. It is now time to "secure from general quarters", and return to normal. The people know it. The people demand it.

The people don't need "experts" to reopen America. The people already know how to walk, talk, and chew bubble gum. We just need our governments to get out of the way.

Sincerely,

1st we are not even through this, the numbers go up every day.

2nd predictions are just that predictions, weathermen get it wrong all the time, it happens, they are just predictions.

3rd This isn’t bogus, the entire world is shut down, Sweden is not going to be fun over the next couple weeks, they already are taking actions against gatherings and bars.

4th I don’t understand how an economy can function if everyone is getting sick and millions are dying. In fact trying to keep everything open could do worse in the long run for a short term gain. Could you imagine bars staying open and insurance companies threatening to drop them due to anyone getting sick? By the time that happens it is already too late.

5th China Manufactured this, the blame goes there and Dem ‘Rats and their media are cheering it on. Saying that the Trump administration Manufactured this is unreal and fake news.

6th My business has dried up, I am broke and can’t afford my quarterly property tax payment due May 10th. And yet, Murphy orders landlords to not kick out tenets, glad he has their back. /s

Wrong. I am using NYC as an example.

What I am saying is NYC and NY state had no idea what they were dealing with in January and February. Once the Feds and the State realized what was going on by mid March and shut things down it was to late. The hospitals were completely overwhelmed and they needed help big time.

It took us, yes us, to follow the public health measures to help reduce the R number below 1 and that saved a lot of lives and the hospitals in NYC.

That example showed you and all the rest of you that if you do absolutely nothing, you will end up exactly like NYC with hospitals overwhelmed.

NYC was not an epic scam. If it was I might suggest you go visit all the doctors and nurses in NYC and see what they have to say.

Now, we have finally got a handle on all this, we are starting to get some awesome testing (thanks to the Trump administration and business), we are setting up tracking and tracing and hopefully we have some possible therapies. During this phase of setting these items up, we need to be extremely careful opening up the countries in the world.

Trump’s plan, I think, is a reasonable and effective strategy to follow to get us going again. Just opening things up means we all go back to what happened in NYC.

No, all plans were not bad for us. One in particular.

The plan Trump has laid out.

The democrats always think they have the upper hand.

They never do.

But, in point of fact, they do control the cities and thereby control the states.

American cities are in fact American enemies

I believe it is time to end the shutdown before the "cure kills the patient"

Cuomo says the cure is death, the disease is death.

Nothing.

No, American cities are not American enemies.

American cities might be held captive by deep state progressivist tyrants, but the cities are in fact, like the rest of the country, run by patriots.

These little tyrants can only hide in the shadows. When the people become fully aware of the deep state activity, everything will collapse.

How much power did they get from the fake Mueller show?

Or the fake impeachment?

The 2018 elections were stolen by means of “missing” absentee ballots. This will be revealed and it will be very bad for the dems.

Mueller was the number 1 thing on voters mind in 2018

Kids in cages was number 2

Both were Obama’s doing and Trump was blamed

Actually, you’re wrong.

The number one thing on their minds was to make sure they didn’t get caught with the stack of forged ballots after they finished filling them out.

I am talking about the voters, not the ballot harvesters

We can do that too

Gang of college republicans

Panel Truck

Generator

Giant Paper Shredder

and go collect ballots from democrat neighborhoods

I think you can figure out the rest

I still believe the ultimate way they “won” was with fake ballots.
