“Are they conditioning us to stay inside ( like COVID )?”
It is not just about covid. The Left is conditioning us to be dependent on government bureaucracies and regulation. They are conditioning us to to distrust our own judgements.
They are jealous of our self-governing Republic and the rights that our Constitution affords us.
They are Marxists whose agenda is to convince us that Liberty is a failure. Capitalism is a failure. The Constitution is a failure.
They will point out problems anywhere they can - even if they have to invent them out of whole cloth.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s the US made great strides toward improving air quality and water quality, and eliminating pollution. We were very successful.
Some nations are way behind us and yes, we have to breath their air to some extent.
But the true agenda of the Left is not to save the planet from pollution - it is to weaken our self-governing Republic by regulating us into submission, and by using fear to get is to trade away our rights.
They stoke fear of climate change
They stoke fear of systemic racism
They stoke fear of “pandemic”
They stoke fear of the rich 1%
They stoke fear of anything - but they don’t really care about us.
It is a giant protection racket - they want us to empower them to “protect us” but once they have the power, protecting us is the last thing they care about.
They will never be satisfied that our air is clean enough, because that’s not what they are really after.
Interesting and valid responses.
I just found a close by Wunderground.com. and we are having a good air day.
What is interesting there were just a few stations in this part of town earlier this year. Now, there are 20 privately owned weather stations with local temps, combined with a radar screen going out a few miles.
Which means more people have bought into owning their own expensive systems for their property and are part of the local Wunderground.com system.
There are now 4 private stations in about a half mile radius. I can just keep my little Amazon tablet on and plugged into the nearest station for instant reality versus ????! The system updates every 4-10 seconds.
