Are you enjoying your first taste of socialism? Life in America today is a sneak preview of life in Cuba or Venezuela. Democrats love it. This is the future they plan for you. The current economic catastrophe is exactly what America will look like if we institute the Green New Deal.
The goal is to defeat climate change by killing your job, taking away your car, closing your business and turning America into Cuba or Venezuela.
It's a progressive Democrat's rainy dream.
And isn't it great? You don't need to go to work. Money magically appears in your bank account. Hopefully, you can live on $1,200 every six weeks for the rest of your life.
You get to spend long days watching daytime talk shows and movies on Netflix -- you know, the things Democrats call a "typical day" for their voters.
And think of the money you can save on gas by not going anywhere. Soon all those nasty, polluting, carbon-emitting vehicles will be just a memory of the past. How wonderful will it be to have time to "just think" as you wait hours for those new energy-efficient buses and subways?
And, with all those nasty "nonessential" businesses closed, you'll have plenty of time to converse with your neighbors as you wait in line to see if anything is available for you to buy. It's socialist nirvana.
So, please be honest with me: Are you enjoying your small taste of life in a socialist country? Are all these great benefits of socialism what you expected? You know, being told the business you spent your life building is nonessential and being forced to close; being stuck at home and not allowed to hold a job; having only the money your benevolent government decides you need; waiting in long supermarket lines only to see empty shelves; finding out toilet paper is now a valuable commodity; being told where you're allowed to go; being banned (in some states such as Michigan) from traveling to your second home; not being allowed to go to church; and having all your movements monitored and recorded.
Having fun yet? Welcome to a test drive of socialist America.
Democrats are just getting started. Soon they'll tell you whether you're allowed to enjoy yourself anymore. No more golf, bars, nightclubs, liquor stores, spas, movie theaters, bowling alleys. Oh, wait, that's already happened.
But of course, marijuana stores are open. They're "essential." This is what Democrats like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been pushing for years. This is their rainy dream.
In a truly socialist country, it is much worse. In a truly socialist country, your internet is tightly monitored; television is controlled by government; and all media is propaganda -- even a step worse than it is in America today. Although, The New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are all trying hard to give socialist banana republics a run for their money.
In a socialist country, as envisioned by today's Democratic Party, you will not have a car. Those will be reserved for party bosses like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer and AOC. You will have to work in a state-assigned job. Doctors and janitors will make the same salary.
There will be huge "advantages," according to the crazy socialists of the Democratic Party. Stores will be much smaller. And with the closure of all those greedy corporations, buying decisions will be much less confusing. The shelves will be empty anyway, so who will need all that space?
And, to achieve a small carbon footprint, you will live in a tiny apartment and travel to work only on public transportation. But isn't that precisely why New York City is the worst coronavirus-infected area in the country? Half the country's dead are in one city. Oops, liberals forgot to mention that little problem.
And toilet paper? There will never again be a shortage. The soft kind will only go to socialist politicians and government bureaucrats. The rest of us will do our part to save the planet by using biodegradable corn husks.
I've saved the best for last. One hundred and ten percent of you will vote -- just like in many Democratic inner cities in the past few elections. There will always be more votes than registered voters. That's the way socialists like it. And, your ballot will show up in the mail. Don't worry if you don't receive it. The person sent by the government to pick it up will have extras. He or she will even help you fill it out. In a couple of years, it will get even easier, as there will be only one box to check.
In the gulag they had a little poem.
Kolyma,Kolyma.
Amazing planet.
Twelve months of winter.
The rest is summer.
One key thing to watch.
Many liberals are against facebook, twitter, google, verizon, ATT selling the location and travel patterns of mobile phone users to advrtizers such as McDonalds, Subway, etc.
Many liberals are for the government using mobile phone location data and patterns to determine who shoule or should not be allowed to emerge from their home and who shoule or should not receive both government enforcement of regualtions and government reward to obeying the SCIENCE approved by the government.
In a couple of years, it will get even easier, as there will be only one box to check.
Great post....remember folks....we are living the “GREEN NEW DEAL”...how are you liking it!!!
I will speak slowly so you can grasp this concept:
1. The disease spreads very, very easily.
2.People who may still feel well still have the disease - and will spread it.
Stay home. Be a man.
GREAT post. Thanks. HOORAY Wayne Allyn Root. THIS is what socialism/totalitarianism looks like. It’s a nice house, but when Hannibal Lecter takes you downstairs to show you the basement...WATCHOUT.
If you are old, or have a health issue, stay home. The rest should be out working or playing.

“What a bunch of whiners: all you have to do is stay home with the family for a while, while a bunch of scientists try to come up with a cure.”
How long are you willing to wait for the scientists to find a cure? 6 months? 1 year? 2 years? 5 years?
How long do you think our economy and the small businesses that play a huge part in it can survive this lockdown?
How long are you okay with our treasury printing money out of thin air, and what do you think will be the result of that?
And spreading the disease far and wide. Pure genius.
The plant where I work in Utah has maintained full operation up to the present date. Office workers generally work from home, engineers are onsite 2-3 days per week, lower level management remains at 5 days per week.
We have social distancing, hand washing rules, adequate quantities of hand sanitizer and masks for production workers whose jobs often bring them closer than 6 feet from each other.
Several employees have self-reported close contact with relatives and room mates who had developed virus symptoms. They were told to stay home until their status was resolved.
To my knowledge, none of my coworkers have contracted the China Virus.
We can adapt and will - but like WWII and 9/11 and other emergencies, we have to be strong and make sacrifices.
You not capable of sacrificing for your country?
All you have to do is stay home with the family … AND WITHOUT A PAYCHECK.
How many years do we have to wait for a bunch of scientists to do what’s never been done (produce a safe and effective vaccine for a coronavirus)?
Rudyard Kipling described a century ago what you don’t seem to understand:
Buy bigger ammo then...
I’m not capable of sacrificing my country!
This has gone too far and we will suffer as a people for it. I say, take precautions and go about your business.
I HAVE been paying attention and ALL .... repeat .... ALL .... I have heard .....
(listen carefully) .... I have heard
ANY other information I have received has been via computer and TV, I risk the statement .... "just like 99% of everyone in the USA"
EVERYTHING about coronavirus (commom cold) and COVID 19 ( an unknown, unstoppable alien entity, it seems) has been transmitted to us between the computer and TV.
IN both the computer and TV, there have been real doctors making statements adverse to the panic, and people foisted as "Dr." but haven't seen a patient in 20 years, stating we must pay attention to the screens on our walls ala 1984.
I began believing we were in trouble, but didn't stay in that opinion very long.
The numbers were confusingly everywhere and have since been SO reduced that they resemble the flu ...... which never DOES get "cured" .... and we have never shut the nation down.
MY contention is simple ..... we are not children and most of us picked crap up off the floor ignoring the 5 second rule a million times and we survived.
Our own empirical knowledge guides us and if we are wrong, those of us that choose to ignore masks and gloves, will die, because most of us are old farts and don't much care for all you youngsters and your public school induced fears and acquisitions.
There is NOTHING on your screened walls except coronavirus associated news, and if you don't think the entire globe has been taken over by satanic think, you either never knew, or forgot the global hysteria of American involvement in VietNam and the universal uniform of LONG HAIRED MEN, BLUE DENIM AND MARIJUANA.
I am not crazy /.... I remember.
No idea, but good people are working day and night to solve the problem.
Adapt. Get a job that allows you to work from your home or at least can keep you protected.
It's a war, brought to you by the disease merchants of China. We need to fight it as we would in a war: by sacrificing, doing what we have to and protecting each other.
And above all, not whining.
