While AOC's revolutionary and subversive socialist gown generated buzz, the normalization of maskless elites attended to by faceless servants is grotesque.
Holy shit, this hit hard. I've been a subscriber since the day you left the Intercept and launched here, so I'm already right there with ya, but this really hits the nail on the head of an anxiety I can't seem to properly articulate. I live in Brooklyn and have many liberal friends who seem disturbingly OK with new selective enforcement of Covid protocols (BLM protests as valid vs the anti-lockdown people who literally couldn't feed their families...) and cheerful vilification of working class people with different politics.
At least Trump derangement folks were "deranged" and most left-leaning people I knew didn't really bite that bait. With Covid, the level of animosity for the "unclean" people has become unmatched and and creepily accepted by almost everyone. The fact that Obama and AOC types seem invulnerable to criticism is also mystifying. I'm worried. =(
What this stupidity has become is something like a zombie apocalypse movie. The unvaccinated or unmasked are never to be allowed to touch, interact or even live among the elites and "clean" members of the political and ruling class. Interacting with the zombies might cause them to become zombies themselves and be cast out from the inner circle. Modern slavery with a twist.
Working class has now been reduced to an inhuman THING to be feared and controlled lest they infect the AOC's and Nancys of this world. Wear your mask, stay inside and don't ever touch me. Like old India we now have our own untouchables.
Just do what you are told and don't ever expect to be considered as an individual after all you are just a zombie serving and working before being confined to your home when not serving. Soon vaccine passports will be the order of the day. Like East Germany carrying "papers" will be necessary to even travel within your own country. Flying on an airplane will require a mask, vaccination proof and a good reason for leaving your designated ZONE of residence.
The American Revolution was started over much less than the current abuses being heaped on us by our elected officials. Wonder if the DNA of our forefathers has been so weakened that all this has become the cost of living within or "modern" society.
The masks on the plebs do just that. They make us face less zombies there to serve. Otherwise we do not exist.
The behavior of the elite is becoming more and more sociopathic.
Let's hope and pray that there are more sane folks than brainwashed. Although in places like NY and Oregon where Im from, living among the Dem sheep makes it seem like there are more who love being Dem slaves than not.
Moved from NYC to fly about 3 years ago and it was like moving to another country. Love it here and the politics is not monolithic but reasonably sane and the communities diverse and very "get along go along." Can't believe I wasted so many years in that overhyped and mean City. Florida is just conducive to a good life for workers and retired individuals. Most individuals are cooperative and helpful and the politicians seem to pay attention to the wants and needs of the voters.
Not really idyllic just compared to NYC and that environment That may be said about many places NOT as large and dedicated to bureaucracies for running their very large and wasteful gov'ts. The problems in delivering services and responding to voters concerns goes up exponentially as gov't grows bigger and less accessible. I've lived in a few places since leaving NYC and all have been much better that the Big Apple. With Florida the weather is a plus outside the usual political considerations.
For me, the article didn't make a case for the great disparity between the haves and have nots when it comes to Covid mandates. It came across as gossiby, and even the pictures didn't make his case. That being said I am very well aware of the inequities that exist in America, like 1 % owns well over 40 percent of our country's wealth. I live in New York, and I know if you go into stores now, or are in close proximity to people you now have to wear a mask due to the delta variant. Those photographers were on top of each other, and they should be masked. I know two people who died of Covid and maybe that changes my perspective on things, although I don't harbor the hate so many feel for those who don't get vaccinated, or who have opposing points of view.
Im sorry you lost people you love to Covid but that is no excuse for what is being done now. This virus is NOT what we have been told. My family and I have had the Rona. We got it here again when my VAXXED Son in law brought it home from work. We all survived. 40 MILLION have caught and recovered from Covid. It is not an emergency, tens of thousands DIE every year from the FLU and because we did not die, or become seriously ill I began to QUESTION all the bullshit out of MSM and research in places away from MSM aka Indie media.
I learned that the PCR test is a fraud. It was never meant to be used to diagnose illness. You are free to research Kerry Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test. The CDC had the test running at between 35-42 cycles which guarantee 90% false positives. This was so the could justify their asymptomatic bullshit.
It was a brilliant plan as they convinced an entire country of healthy people that they were sick with ZERO symptoms. It is INSANE
The CDC recently announced that they will stop using THE PCR test in December because it can't tell the difference between the FLU and the Rona!!
This is OUTRAGEOUS behavior, but will not change as long as the majority can be scared into compliance and giving up their civil liberties
I understand your position, trust me. My brother died of AIDS, young, in the 1980's, and misinformation was wide spread. Someone recently informed me on this site that Fauci was highly responsible for putting forth the idea that AIDS might be easily contracted which turned out to be false. He related this information prematurely to the press and they ran with it, since fear sells. For AIDS patients in hospitals their lives were a living hell. Nurses, some doctors, aids, etc wouldn't even come into their rooms to attend their needs. Ambulette services became unavailable, and if you didn't have a supportive family that kept on top of things you very well may have died of neglect. It is a period in our history where many in the medical profession have a lot to feel ashamed of.
They convinced an entire world. And then in hospitals in the US they put them on respirators and gave them a deadly drug resdesivir (sp?) which had 2 clinical trials. One for Ebola where they all died and another for Covid where so many died they stopped the study. Fauci MANDATED it for all US bpeople admitted to hospital in US to receive it and be put on respirators. This stopped kidney function and they died. Mass murder as Fauci knew the murderous history of this drug.
What you say MIGHT be possible. Did COVID patients actually die as a result of the virus or was it malpractice on the part of the medical establishment? That might be impossible to determine since the profession has a very vested interest in propagating the story that COVID killed 100% of those admitted to and died hospitals. Like EVERY profession the medical bureaucrats act in concert to protect their turf and hide their incompetence.
Having Fauci in charge is the equivalent to having a pedophile running a kindergarten class because he is a certified teacher. Fauci has many, many conflicts of interest and connections to people responsible for funding this pandemic and yet he is still the face of the gov't's response and advises the POTUS. After all that is said and done why anyone would trust and follow gov't edicts is beyond reason. How any intelligent person is shocked by all this just shows the total lack of critical thinking skills in the general population. The political class itself is part of the problem with their blind faith in "experts" because they seem incapable of making their own determinations or inquires outside the bubble of D.C. bureaucracies and agencies.
Hi, I am a doctor. I take care of ICU patients on a regular basis. You are wrong. Over the last almost two years, it has become extremely clear in ways that are obviously quantifiable and apparently anyone with an actual job in healthcare that COVID-19 is a more virulent disease than influenza. This means its causes more severe disease in infected people than influenza does, both in terms of the % of patients who die from the disease, as well as the severity of the symptoms of patients who survive, and the overall burden of chronic sequelae (long term health consequences) associated with infection. This information is quite readily available on free to access medical journals indexed on Pubmed. These claims are not remotely controversial in the medical sphere. That you make such claims in the face of clear, abundant evidence to the contrary is truly confusing to me.
For me the 'have' vs. 'have not' was clearly exhibited with the celebrities not being masked. Masks are supposed to protect others, and there are certainly handlers that were close enough that the celebrity could be transmitting to the handler, even if the celeb was vaxxed. It just doesn't hang together when the powers that be are directing us vaxxed plebes to mask up too, but not doing the same for the elites. I, too, am visually struck by this, I am now seeing these pictures all over the place - and the minute I see the mask I think 'servant', when in the past I wouldn't have noticed the support staff as servants, I would have seen them as just part of the event.
When I mask up I see it as I'm protecting me. I know that even though vaccinated I can pick up the delta variant from someone, and if I should harbor it and I come into contact with someone not vaccinated I could transmit it to them and give them Covid. I saw the photographers, so close together as protecting themselves and each other. Those that waited the tables at Pelosi's affair were protecting themselves. Even as a kid I never saw the rich, or the famous as somehow special, in fact a whole lot of famous people throughout history were bas*tards, and they do die like everyone else.
But that's a mistake. If one assumes that masks are to protect the wearer (as all who object to masking as an infringement of their freedom do) then the arguments that masks are useless (or so close to useless that not wearing them is a rational risk assessment given the discomfort the cause) are valid. As the signs at my university say "My mask protects you, your mask protects me." The whole point is that masks impede the circulation of exhaled droplets that carry the virus from the wearer if the wearer is infected (whether asympotomatic or pre-symptomatic or even with light symptoms mistaken for a cold or allergies).
In terms of Pelosi and Newsom's get togethers they were called out on that, and the double standard.To tell you the truth if I had to come in contact with all those maskless people I would want a mask, but what would bother me is having to serve them.
The Newsom and Pelosi clips, yea they are unmasked and those serving them are, double standard, but they have been called out on that. The other clips, well the photographers are on top of each other and should be masked for their own protection. At the event with AOC the patrons that attended this event did maintain some distance. I'm not defending them, trust me. Look at it this way, they were protected from those slime balls who were unmasked and may have Covid. I have never, not even as a kid, been impressed by the rich and the famous. I was raised by a mother who was a socialist, so believe it.
you are the low-caste about whom glenn writes. it's too bad you don't recognize yourself in this very clearly drawn story, and in the innumerable photos everywhere all the time. enjoy your servitude. AOC will not be attending your thanksgiving tofurkey mask-required sad-fest this year, sorry.
I am not low class. or of low caste, and If Mr. Greenwald believes that he's an ass, and I serve no one. If AOC turns up at my Thanksgiving tofurkey I'll kick her ass out.
I just have to ask you a few questions. How old were the people you knew who died? Were they diabetic, obese, on meds, etc? And I would like to know if they ate gluten and GMO FREE and I am betting not. Were they ever smokers or daily drinkers and did they work out most days? All these things have to bee considered when making a conclusion. Not just FEELINGS!
One was a friend's mother who was overweight and did have a number of medical conditions including left sided heart failure. She was in her 80's, Also someone we knew, in his 60's, who had health issues related to working in the area where the Twin Towers went down. Neither one was young and healthy, but if it weren't for Covid they still would be here. My friend's father also contracted Covid, also in his 80's, but no underlying heart or lung issues and he survived.
I am just a critical ex researcher. Variables are important. And actually they didn't die of Covid, they died of their health issues. Too soon perhaps as our BIg Pharma can extend lives for a price these days. The regular flu would probably have done the same.
I guess I am just wanting to explain to people that making judgments based on ignoring variables tends to restrict your thinking. Do it often and youb just become one of those persons who does not think clearly. They always seem to not like me either.
Masking in a closed space makes sense if someone present is in a high risk group. Masks are to impede the circulation of exhaled droplets that carry the virus. They protect others from the wearer, not the wearer from others. That's part of the dynamics Glenn is highlighting: the bien pensant elite are protected from the hoi polloi by the staff wearing masks while they, themselves, apply the same reasoning that the vilified "anti-maskers" use -- if it doesn't protect me, I'm not going to wear it. These performatively sensitive elites don't care a whit if the working class folk who staff their galas catch the disease from them, after all, they're just little people, deplorables, who probably voted for Trump.
Relocating is easier now than it ever has been, I think. I just set up job search engines to find jobs in my field in SD, and when a job popped up that I was qualified for, I applied. The first set of interviews was via Zoom, and they flew me in for the second round (though he gave me the option, if I had been familiar with the area, we could have done the second round through Zoom as well). Buying or even renting a house is similar. We made an offer on a house that we had only seen via video tour, but when I saw it in person, no surprises (so far). There is not much inventory (at least in Western SD), but the homes here are still somewhat less expensive than in many other places. It's an undertaking, for sure, but well worth it, I think.
FL is okay. I was in FL several times this year and many hotels and retail establishments were requiring masks, had substantially reduced services, and it did not feel much different to me than other parts of the country.
Why would it be important to me if you believed me or not. They weren't high officials in 1990. My gf was a beautician in Singapore whose mother was born on Hainen Island and ran with her husband to Malasia away from the Japanese. She let her daughter but took her son. My friend was born in Singapore after her mother ran from the Japanese again coming into Melasia. In Singapore when they came there was nowhere else to go. Her sister reamined in China and her husband was in charge of the island as an "enterprise zone." He may have been a big deal but did not come across as one at all. Some children threw stones at me on a walk I made because I had blue eyes and they had been warned against "blue eyes!" There's more to the story but not for you.
China is far more capitalist than the US, Russia has not been Communist for 30+ years, while the US is a corporate socialism (more polite term for fascism)
Yes. China wears the mask of communism concealing the REAL of capitalism. The US wears the mask of democracy concealing the REAL of totalitarianism that used to be creeping totalitarianism but now is running amok.
Americans have a lot to lose, materially speaking. As such, they are afraid to do anything that could jeopardize their comfortable living, their cushy job at their woke employers, their SUV and their kids soccer career. They are also terrified to be socially ostracized. In summary, Americans are largely cowards. And so it goes.
They are today. And I know the reason. The design of the country was unique... based on libertarian paternalism. It is now a socialist matriarchy. The former was determined to be free and to pursue self interests to advance. We were the risk-takers. But the matriarchy abhors risk. It pursues the illusion of perfection... which then always becomes the enemy of the good.
Yes, I would lose the "paternal/maternal" label/reference, but M. J Boone is otherwise spot-on. You, M. Karen, are just as eloquent, imo (although some will not understand that you mean "human" when you write "men," and it would sound so less eloquent if you had used the former!), in describing the vicious cycle from which we Classical Liberals (i.e. Capitalists, despite its continued mis-attribution even here, in this otherwise wisdom filled forum) forever desire and deserve exit.
In two of the pictures a slew of photographers are almost on top of each other, and under such circumstances it is mandated that due to the delta variant even vaccinated people should wear masks. In the clip with AOC at the Met the people in attendance seem to maintain some distance between each other, and no one in the video clip is wearing a mask. In the Jennifer Hudson clip even if no one was wearing a mask it smacks of royalty. As far as Pelosi and Newsom are concerned they have been called out on their behavior and the double standards they impose.
Gossip was a good word in reference to this article. Don't misunderstand, I think very highly of Greenwald and appreciate the work he does, but not this article. It came across as gossiby, with relatively little meaning, nor did it substantiate the very significant differences in the lives of the haves and the have nots in America.
That's like complaining that Tom Wolfe was gossipy - the tone was intentional and for effect; Glenn was embracing THEIR way of talking to illustrate the utter hypocrisy of their claims of moral superiority.
I'm not complaining about Greenwald, just this article. The pictures did not validate what he was saying. Those slew of photographers on top of each other should be wearing masks and that Jennifer Hudson photo, well, even if her entourage weren't wearing masks they would look quite, no very subservient, and Pelosi and Newsom were called out on their hypocrisy. I grew up in Manhattan for a while and from an early age became aware of the disparity of wealth in this world, not to mention my mother was a socialist.
As generations roll on the past is forgotten. No need to resort to genetics. Few are courageous at all anymore. And men turn on women, and women turn on men and I dont mean sexually.
To clarify the message, replace "unvaccinated," "anti-vax," "anti-government," "insurrectionists," with "infidel." To get a taste of late 1930s Germany replace with "undesirables" and "Jews." We are witnessing scapegoating going to scale as the entire Western economy teeters on collapse, supply lines die, resources dwindle, and the ruling classes freak at their looming irrelevance. The know they will soon have no value--and this is good news for the rest of us who remain firmly grounded in a three-dimensional world.
Your comparison is bullshit. Most of the freedumb luvin’
antivaxxers(many “Christians”) are the same knobs that followed America-Firster Chucky Lindberg, Father Coughlin, and the like, in blocking Jewish immigration(escape) before and during WW2.
I don't believe most are "anti-vaxxers", they are fine with vaccines that have been fully tested and peer reviewed and have a history of efficacy (mumps, flu, chicken pox etc.) This particular vaccine is novel, has not been rigorously tested. It also has certain side effects that are riskier to certain people than COVID itself. Also, why mention Christians? The point here is to not vilify people or groups of people. BTW, FDR had no interest in rescuing European Jews so you could lay the blame on the dem party prog left in power at the time. For what it's worth.
I think we all ought to start wearing YELLOW STARS! That would have been too close to the bone for AOC. Messing up a designer's dress was cool. For her. Not me.
Indeed! I agree. Notice how the. Elite love to weaponized the word unvaxxed and then DEHUMANIZE us without ONCE saying WHY we might be hesitant. They don't want anyone to know.
History will be VERY unkind to those who are committing crimes against humanity and violating the Nuremberg code of informed consent
Why do you assume those who don't want the jab are antivaxxers? This irritated the shit out of me. It is better to assume that we are NOT anti vax on the whole but rather THIS vaccine t hat has killed a RECORD 14,000 people and permanently disabled 600,000 MORE.
9,000 CHILDREN have been permanently disabled, 14 are DEAD and 500 have MYOCARDITIS
The difference between rabid pro vaxxer and US anti THIS vaccine is that we are CRITICAL thinkers and have DONE our homework while the pro vax crowd is busy listening to CORRUPT AND HIGHLY COMPROMISED health officials and politicians in BED with Big pharma. There is no better definition of FASCISM than the Democratic party and their EUGENICS program funded By BILL GATES, A EUGENICIST
After surviving a serious bout of cancer last year, I DO NOT wish to play Russian Roulette with MY life, so that a few brainwashed Dem voters feel safe.
Thank you. I got the flu vaccine last year—like I usually do. My children are all up to date on their vaccinations. But this vaccine? No way. Those who have just a basic understanding of science can see that large swaths of the population should not be taking it.
I have a friend whose 12 year old Son got the jab. I literally BEGGGED her not to do it but she wouldn't listen. He wound up with MYOCARDITIS. I love how MSM has down played this infection. But it is extremely dangerous and has killed 14 kids already and 500 more have this illness. My friends son has to take 6 different meds for six months. He can have ZERO physical activity and will be at risk for arrhythmia heart attack and stroke the rest of his life..
My friend got a HUGE wake up call as the doctors REFUSED to acknowledge that it was the jab that did this. I can't tell you how many this is happening too. Its as if doctors are onboard this scam. She finally found a doc to treat her Son RELUCTANTLY. She had also endured emotional and verbal abuse from former Dem friends if hers when she shared what happened to her Son.
You are so wise to think of your children, Brian. I mean that from my heart.
We’ll, your friend’s son is doing better than my cousin’s friend: he’s dead. Died of a heart attack two days after his second dose. I don’t know how often people in their 20’s die of a heart attack, but I suppose it *could* have been a coincidence.
I have Charcot Marie Foote syndrome which is not well understood. It has neuropathic associated problems with it that I have discovered on my own. I suspect Eric Clapton is afflicted in some way as the vaccine paralyzed his hands and feet. so no more guitar! However it did go away. But I connected what happened to me and someone else I heard about so do not want to take that chance. I will kill myself first. This vac does stir up latent genetic DNA that can surface and really hurt you. So I think if you are seriously afraid you may not know why but pay attention to the feeling. Something in you is warning you.
I’m pretty sure all those “free dumb living” people you speak of from WWII have long since passed from this earth. I’m not sure you can prove any of those people way back in the 40’s we’re “antivaxxers” either. Basically your statement makes no sense, and has no relevance to anything. You sound like a typical leftist hack thumbing your nose at people that could possibly have a different worldview than you. You actually are a perfect representation what greenwald spoke of in this piece. A liberal hack.
Well actually there were a lot of anti vaccers then. My mother - who was born in 1899 - blamed her little brothers death on a Small Pox vaccination. She wasnt going to let me go to Kindergarten because I had to get vaccinated for Small Pox in order to go. All the kids came down the back alley after the first day. I was outside wondering where everyone was. They had been to SCHOOL Band I wanted so much to go! Then my mom told me why." (actually she lied and said because I was so little she was keeping me home another year.)n "But," I said, "Beverly, my best friend was born on the same day I was so I am old enough." She never could stand against my demands so I got to go a week later after my shot. So I entered late and so I watched intently what the others were doing as they had already learned and I wanted to be competent. My future husband was in my kindergarten!
I had the Rona too. My whole family had it and then my VAXXED son in law?brought home the ""DELTA" variant.
What it really is is a COLD. That's what Corona viruses are.
MSM makes cases sound so many and so scary.
It's funny, liberals will screech at you all day about how many are dead from the scary cold. But ask them how many are dead from the spike protein jab and they completely freak out lol!
“ The point is natural immunity is many times more effective than vaccination…” If one survives the illness.
I have had 3 friends die of covid. None from “the flu”.
Covid is the ONLY vaccination, other than for shingles, that I’ve had in 72 years(other than shots wile in the military). I filtered the info I’ve searched out, and decided that this one is really nasty.
That would be a clever comeback if NBC and the Wall Street Journal hadn't both done deep dives into the true demographic breakdown of those who have not gotten vaccinated (it's not who you think, or at least wish, it was). And, no, I'm not going to post links - even you should be able to figure out how to use a search engine.
Hate to tellyah, but the present Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, a liberal by the way, is a granddaughter of a scumbag Ukrainian Nazi. So, yeah…the spawn is still around.
Joycer Carol Oates has written a novel about one family. It is excellent. The Gravediggerds Daughter. I once had a 3rd grader in my class whose mom had just been admitted to the mental hospital as school started. She had tried to commit suicide. She told me later that she had been on the last Jewish ship out of Europe -nGermany was it? - and had spent the rest of her life asking herself "Why me? Why was I saved?" Heavy.
You sir just want revenge don't you? You've been a partisan hack for over 70 years and now you get to watch your enemy squirm. You're loving this tyranny. You're the good German.
They have already learned about the bad effects from the shots. News travels fast in the black community. They tell each other the new benefits, where to get this or that, THEY SHARE! They aolready know about bad efects of this SO-CALLED VACCINATION!
can you link to where you’re getting your numbers from?
i’ve just learned tonight that the fda approved vaccine Cominarty is different than the version under the EUA, though the differences aren’t enumerated.
The "left" now is being hit with hypocrisy that theyb must find a way to defend for themselves. so now defense mechanisms are coming into play and they do screw it all up.
Have you read 'Woke Inc.' by Vivek Ramaswamy? He addresses a lot of this in his book, as to how financial/business intersect with our culture. It's easy to read and understand. (Finance & business are not my strong suits). Give it a tumble.
Yes wear a mask and pin a YELLOW STAR on your T-Shirt. Better yet screen a yellow star on it. Together they make a statement. Now if AOC had worn one to the Met Ball THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A - OK for AOC to do! Naw, she's not enough of a PARRHESIASTES to do THAT!
It is just insanity becoming normal and now institutionalized. AOC is already outdated. A few years ago what she did would have been revolutionary. Today it is not. SPEED is the new theoretical perception to be coupled with rationality and reason which are disappearing into the void below.
THANK FUCKING GOD I don’t live in a big city. Especially not one like NY. Dude, I’ve been horrified hearing and watching. Idk what all you got going onor on or owe or what sills or whatever but if I were in any big city like that I would sell everything and run! As far into the country as possible. Things are still mostly normal here. Kinda. Funny enough the state liquor store will not sell you poisonous liquor if you don’t wear a mask. But thankfully in most other places, except like hospitals n banks n gov buildings etc, there’s a pretty good mix of masked n not. I would like to see a lot less ppl make because it just illustrates how poorly educated and ignorant a lot of us are. But still, definitely better than where you’ve been for almost a couple years. I can’t even imagine. I’m imagining you’re in one of the city burrows btw, in the thick of it.
Holy shit, this hit hard. I've been a subscriber since the day you left the Intercept and launched here, so I'm already right there with ya, but this really hits the nail on the head of an anxiety I can't seem to properly articulate. I live in Brooklyn and have many liberal friends who seem disturbingly OK with new selective enforcement of Covid protocols (BLM protests as valid vs the anti-lockdown people who literally couldn't feed their families...) and cheerful vilification of working class people with different politics.
At least Trump derangement folks were "deranged" and most left-leaning people I knew didn't really bite that bait. With Covid, the level of animosity for the "unclean" people has become unmatched and and creepily accepted by almost everyone. The fact that Obama and AOC types seem invulnerable to criticism is also mystifying. I'm worried. =(
What this stupidity has become is something like a zombie apocalypse movie. The unvaccinated or unmasked are never to be allowed to touch, interact or even live among the elites and "clean" members of the political and ruling class. Interacting with the zombies might cause them to become zombies themselves and be cast out from the inner circle. Modern slavery with a twist.
Working class has now been reduced to an inhuman THING to be feared and controlled lest they infect the AOC's and Nancys of this world. Wear your mask, stay inside and don't ever touch me. Like old India we now have our own untouchables.
Just do what you are told and don't ever expect to be considered as an individual after all you are just a zombie serving and working before being confined to your home when not serving. Soon vaccine passports will be the order of the day. Like East Germany carrying "papers" will be necessary to even travel within your own country. Flying on an airplane will require a mask, vaccination proof and a good reason for leaving your designated ZONE of residence.
The American Revolution was started over much less than the current abuses being heaped on us by our elected officials. Wonder if the DNA of our forefathers has been so weakened that all this has become the cost of living within or "modern" society.
The masks on the plebs do just that. They make us face less zombies there to serve. Otherwise we do not exist.
The behavior of the elite is becoming more and more sociopathic.
Let's hope and pray that there are more sane folks than brainwashed. Although in places like NY and Oregon where Im from, living among the Dem sheep makes it seem like there are more who love being Dem slaves than not.
Wish I could move to Florida.
We’d love to have you!
Moved from NYC to fly about 3 years ago and it was like moving to another country. Love it here and the politics is not monolithic but reasonably sane and the communities diverse and very "get along go along." Can't believe I wasted so many years in that overhyped and mean City. Florida is just conducive to a good life for workers and retired individuals. Most individuals are cooperative and helpful and the politicians seem to pay attention to the wants and needs of the voters.
Where is this idyllic place you moved to? Florida?
Not really idyllic just compared to NYC and that environment That may be said about many places NOT as large and dedicated to bureaucracies for running their very large and wasteful gov'ts. The problems in delivering services and responding to voters concerns goes up exponentially as gov't grows bigger and less accessible. I've lived in a few places since leaving NYC and all have been much better that the Big Apple. With Florida the weather is a plus outside the usual political considerations.
For me, the article didn't make a case for the great disparity between the haves and have nots when it comes to Covid mandates. It came across as gossiby, and even the pictures didn't make his case. That being said I am very well aware of the inequities that exist in America, like 1 % owns well over 40 percent of our country's wealth. I live in New York, and I know if you go into stores now, or are in close proximity to people you now have to wear a mask due to the delta variant. Those photographers were on top of each other, and they should be masked. I know two people who died of Covid and maybe that changes my perspective on things, although I don't harbor the hate so many feel for those who don't get vaccinated, or who have opposing points of view.
Im sorry you lost people you love to Covid but that is no excuse for what is being done now. This virus is NOT what we have been told. My family and I have had the Rona. We got it here again when my VAXXED Son in law brought it home from work. We all survived. 40 MILLION have caught and recovered from Covid. It is not an emergency, tens of thousands DIE every year from the FLU and because we did not die, or become seriously ill I began to QUESTION all the bullshit out of MSM and research in places away from MSM aka Indie media.

It was a brilliant plan as they convinced an entire country of healthy people that they were sick with ZERO symptoms. It is INSANE
The CDC recently announced that they will stop using THE PCR test in December because it can't tell the difference between the FLU and the Rona!!
This is OUTRAGEOUS behavior, but will not change as long as the majority can be scared into compliance and giving up their civil liberties
Don't let your loved ones deaths be in vain.
Please research. .
I understand your position, trust me. My brother died of AIDS, young, in the 1980's, and misinformation was wide spread. Someone recently informed me on this site that Fauci was highly responsible for putting forth the idea that AIDS might be easily contracted which turned out to be false. He related this information prematurely to the press and they ran with it, since fear sells. For AIDS patients in hospitals their lives were a living hell. Nurses, some doctors, aids, etc wouldn't even come into their rooms to attend their needs. Ambulette services became unavailable, and if you didn't have a supportive family that kept on top of things you very well may have died of neglect. It is a period in our history where many in the medical profession have a lot to feel ashamed of.
Fauci is responisble for millions of AIDS deaths. It is in a documentary on this that is coming out.
Aids patients got drugs from Mexico because Fauci wouldn't approve them here. He's abominable.
They convinced an entire world. And then in hospitals in the US they put them on respirators and gave them a deadly drug resdesivir (sp?) which had 2 clinical trials. One for Ebola where they all died and another for Covid where so many died they stopped the study. Fauci MANDATED it for all US bpeople admitted to hospital in US to receive it and be put on respirators. This stopped kidney function and they died. Mass murder as Fauci knew the murderous history of this drug.
What you say MIGHT be possible. Did COVID patients actually die as a result of the virus or was it malpractice on the part of the medical establishment? That might be impossible to determine since the profession has a very vested interest in propagating the story that COVID killed 100% of those admitted to and died hospitals. Like EVERY profession the medical bureaucrats act in concert to protect their turf and hide their incompetence.
Having Fauci in charge is the equivalent to having a pedophile running a kindergarten class because he is a certified teacher. Fauci has many, many conflicts of interest and connections to people responsible for funding this pandemic and yet he is still the face of the gov't's response and advises the POTUS. After all that is said and done why anyone would trust and follow gov't edicts is beyond reason. How any intelligent person is shocked by all this just shows the total lack of critical thinking skills in the general population. The political class itself is part of the problem with their blind faith in "experts" because they seem incapable of making their own determinations or inquires outside the bubble of D.C. bureaucracies and agencies.
Hi, I am a doctor. I take care of ICU patients on a regular basis. You are wrong. Over the last almost two years, it has become extremely clear in ways that are obviously quantifiable and apparently anyone with an actual job in healthcare that COVID-19 is a more virulent disease than influenza. This means its causes more severe disease in infected people than influenza does, both in terms of the % of patients who die from the disease, as well as the severity of the symptoms of patients who survive, and the overall burden of chronic sequelae (long term health consequences) associated with infection. This information is quite readily available on free to access medical journals indexed on Pubmed. These claims are not remotely controversial in the medical sphere. That you make such claims in the face of clear, abundant evidence to the contrary is truly confusing to me.
For me the 'have' vs. 'have not' was clearly exhibited with the celebrities not being masked. Masks are supposed to protect others, and there are certainly handlers that were close enough that the celebrity could be transmitting to the handler, even if the celeb was vaxxed. It just doesn't hang together when the powers that be are directing us vaxxed plebes to mask up too, but not doing the same for the elites. I, too, am visually struck by this, I am now seeing these pictures all over the place - and the minute I see the mask I think 'servant', when in the past I wouldn't have noticed the support staff as servants, I would have seen them as just part of the event.
When I mask up I see it as I'm protecting me. I know that even though vaccinated I can pick up the delta variant from someone, and if I should harbor it and I come into contact with someone not vaccinated I could transmit it to them and give them Covid. I saw the photographers, so close together as protecting themselves and each other. Those that waited the tables at Pelosi's affair were protecting themselves. Even as a kid I never saw the rich, or the famous as somehow special, in fact a whole lot of famous people throughout history were bas*tards, and they do die like everyone else.
But that's a mistake. If one assumes that masks are to protect the wearer (as all who object to masking as an infringement of their freedom do) then the arguments that masks are useless (or so close to useless that not wearing them is a rational risk assessment given the discomfort the cause) are valid. As the signs at my university say "My mask protects you, your mask protects me." The whole point is that masks impede the circulation of exhaled droplets that carry the virus from the wearer if the wearer is infected (whether asympotomatic or pre-symptomatic or even with light symptoms mistaken for a cold or allergies).
In terms of Pelosi and Newsom's get togethers they were called out on that, and the double standard.To tell you the truth if I had to come in contact with all those maskless people I would want a mask, but what would bother me is having to serve them.
The Newsom and Pelosi clips, yea they are unmasked and those serving them are, double standard, but they have been called out on that. The other clips, well the photographers are on top of each other and should be masked for their own protection. At the event with AOC the patrons that attended this event did maintain some distance. I'm not defending them, trust me. Look at it this way, they were protected from those slime balls who were unmasked and may have Covid. I have never, not even as a kid, been impressed by the rich and the famous. I was raised by a mother who was a socialist, so believe it.
you are the low-caste about whom glenn writes. it's too bad you don't recognize yourself in this very clearly drawn story, and in the innumerable photos everywhere all the time. enjoy your servitude. AOC will not be attending your thanksgiving tofurkey mask-required sad-fest this year, sorry.
I am not low class. or of low caste, and If Mr. Greenwald believes that he's an ass, and I serve no one. If AOC turns up at my Thanksgiving tofurkey I'll kick her ass out.
I just have to ask you a few questions. How old were the people you knew who died? Were they diabetic, obese, on meds, etc? And I would like to know if they ate gluten and GMO FREE and I am betting not. Were they ever smokers or daily drinkers and did they work out most days? All these things have to bee considered when making a conclusion. Not just FEELINGS!
One was a friend's mother who was overweight and did have a number of medical conditions including left sided heart failure. She was in her 80's, Also someone we knew, in his 60's, who had health issues related to working in the area where the Twin Towers went down. Neither one was young and healthy, but if it weren't for Covid they still would be here. My friend's father also contracted Covid, also in his 80's, but no underlying heart or lung issues and he survived.
I am just a critical ex researcher. Variables are important. And actually they didn't die of Covid, they died of their health issues. Too soon perhaps as our BIg Pharma can extend lives for a price these days. The regular flu would probably have done the same.
I guess I am just wanting to explain to people that making judgments based on ignoring variables tends to restrict your thinking. Do it often and youb just become one of those persons who does not think clearly. They always seem to not like me either.
Masking in a closed space makes sense if someone present is in a high risk group. Masks are to impede the circulation of exhaled droplets that carry the virus. They protect others from the wearer, not the wearer from others. That's part of the dynamics Glenn is highlighting: the bien pensant elite are protected from the hoi polloi by the staff wearing masks while they, themselves, apply the same reasoning that the vilified "anti-maskers" use -- if it doesn't protect me, I'm not going to wear it. These performatively sensitive elites don't care a whit if the working class folk who staff their galas catch the disease from them, after all, they're just little people, deplorables, who probably voted for Trump.
Just moved from Oregon to South Dakota. I recommend it.
You have a wonderful governor and that has made all the difference there during this chaos. Advice on living there appreciated. Please.
Relocating is easier now than it ever has been, I think. I just set up job search engines to find jobs in my field in SD, and when a job popped up that I was qualified for, I applied. The first set of interviews was via Zoom, and they flew me in for the second round (though he gave me the option, if I had been familiar with the area, we could have done the second round through Zoom as well). Buying or even renting a house is similar. We made an offer on a house that we had only seen via video tour, but when I saw it in person, no surprises (so far). There is not much inventory (at least in Western SD), but the homes here are still somewhat less expensive than in many other places. It's an undertaking, for sure, but well worth it, I think.
FL is okay. I was in FL several times this year and many hotels and retail establishments were requiring masks, had substantially reduced services, and it did not feel much different to me than other parts of the country.
I wish I could get somewhere else also. And most are brainwashed and I am just the messenger
Like India... wow spot on.
I said OLD India. Have no idea of cultural norms today in India.
I dont want to know. I loved the Old India.
I don't buy it Jane, you pretend to know high officials and that you have been to China and India.
I don't believe you.
\\][//
Why would it be important to me if you believed me or not. They weren't high officials in 1990. My gf was a beautician in Singapore whose mother was born on Hainen Island and ran with her husband to Malasia away from the Japanese. She let her daughter but took her son. My friend was born in Singapore after her mother ran from the Japanese again coming into Melasia. In Singapore when they came there was nowhere else to go. Her sister reamined in China and her husband was in charge of the island as an "enterprise zone." He may have been a big deal but did not come across as one at all. Some children threw stones at me on a walk I made because I had blue eyes and they had been warned against "blue eyes!" There's more to the story but not for you.
Yes I understood. Not being critical of current day India was agreeing with the “untouchable” reference.
Yes go for the very worst in the past and then compare with now. Ignorant thinking.
Nice catch
Nice catch.
I wonder if this will finally awaken class consciousness. I think the country could use a Terror.
China is far more capitalist than the US, Russia has not been Communist for 30+ years, while the US is a corporate socialism (more polite term for fascism)
Yes. China wears the mask of communism concealing the REAL of capitalism. The US wears the mask of democracy concealing the REAL of totalitarianism that used to be creeping totalitarianism but now is running amok.
It is going to get one.
We have sunk into comfortable living and are soft and needy and addicted to so many things
Americans have a lot to lose, materially speaking. As such, they are afraid to do anything that could jeopardize their comfortable living, their cushy job at their woke employers, their SUV and their kids soccer career. They are also terrified to be socially ostracized. In summary, Americans are largely cowards. And so it goes.
They are today. And I know the reason. The design of the country was unique... based on libertarian paternalism. It is now a socialist matriarchy. The former was determined to be free and to pursue self interests to advance. We were the risk-takers. But the matriarchy abhors risk. It pursues the illusion of perfection... which then always becomes the enemy of the good.
Meh. Your labelling is unnecessary.
All you need to know is that hard times make strong men. Strong men make soft times. Soft times make weak men. Weak men make hard times.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Yes, I would lose the "paternal/maternal" label/reference, but M. J Boone is otherwise spot-on. You, M. Karen, are just as eloquent, imo (although some will not understand that you mean "human" when you write "men," and it would sound so less eloquent if you had used the former!), in describing the vicious cycle from which we Classical Liberals (i.e. Capitalists, despite its continued mis-attribution even here, in this otherwise wisdom filled forum) forever desire and deserve exit.
And so it goes as Vonnegut was wont to say.
Bingo.
In two of the pictures a slew of photographers are almost on top of each other, and under such circumstances it is mandated that due to the delta variant even vaccinated people should wear masks. In the clip with AOC at the Met the people in attendance seem to maintain some distance between each other, and no one in the video clip is wearing a mask. In the Jennifer Hudson clip even if no one was wearing a mask it smacks of royalty. As far as Pelosi and Newsom are concerned they have been called out on their behavior and the double standards they impose.
We waste our time on this double standards when it changes nothing but just gives us trendy up to day gossip to spout.
Gossip was a good word in reference to this article. Don't misunderstand, I think very highly of Greenwald and appreciate the work he does, but not this article. It came across as gossiby, with relatively little meaning, nor did it substantiate the very significant differences in the lives of the haves and the have nots in America.
That's like complaining that Tom Wolfe was gossipy - the tone was intentional and for effect; Glenn was embracing THEIR way of talking to illustrate the utter hypocrisy of their claims of moral superiority.
Excellent observation.
Maybe. That's a nice reading BTW. I like it.
I'm not complaining about Greenwald, just this article. The pictures did not validate what he was saying. Those slew of photographers on top of each other should be wearing masks and that Jennifer Hudson photo, well, even if her entourage weren't wearing masks they would look quite, no very subservient, and Pelosi and Newsom were called out on their hypocrisy. I grew up in Manhattan for a while and from an early age became aware of the disparity of wealth in this world, not to mention my mother was a socialist.
GG was commenting on IMAGE and what it might signify. Or NOT.It evolved into more than he thought I think.
I'm in MO ared state where it isn't too bad but bad enough. The buses and libraries are the worst. Nazi mask police everywhere.
You don't want to be Bill Murray in this movie...

\\][//
lmao, M. Iamo! (Sorry, I couldn't resist, and you've probably heard it before.)
Is your reference to the Bill murry character in the movie adaptation of City Of Ember?
As generations roll on the past is forgotten. No need to resort to genetics. Few are courageous at all anymore. And men turn on women, and women turn on men and I dont mean sexually.
To clarify the message, replace "unvaccinated," "anti-vax," "anti-government," "insurrectionists," with "infidel." To get a taste of late 1930s Germany replace with "undesirables" and "Jews." We are witnessing scapegoating going to scale as the entire Western economy teeters on collapse, supply lines die, resources dwindle, and the ruling classes freak at their looming irrelevance. The know they will soon have no value--and this is good news for the rest of us who remain firmly grounded in a three-dimensional world.
Your comparison is bullshit. Most of the freedumb luvin’
antivaxxers(many “Christians”) are the same knobs that followed America-Firster Chucky Lindberg, Father Coughlin, and the like, in blocking Jewish immigration(escape) before and during WW2.
I don't believe most are "anti-vaxxers", they are fine with vaccines that have been fully tested and peer reviewed and have a history of efficacy (mumps, flu, chicken pox etc.) This particular vaccine is novel, has not been rigorously tested. It also has certain side effects that are riskier to certain people than COVID itself. Also, why mention Christians? The point here is to not vilify people or groups of people. BTW, FDR had no interest in rescuing European Jews so you could lay the blame on the dem party prog left in power at the time. For what it's worth.
I think we all ought to start wearing YELLOW STARS! That would have been too close to the bone for AOC. Messing up a designer's dress was cool. For her. Not me.
Indeed! I agree. Notice how the. Elite love to weaponized the word unvaxxed and then DEHUMANIZE us without ONCE saying WHY we might be hesitant. They don't want anyone to know.
History will be VERY unkind to those who are committing crimes against humanity and violating the Nuremberg code of informed consent
These times are awful. The older you are the farther back you experienced freedom that is lost.
Why do you assume those who don't want the jab are antivaxxers? This irritated the shit out of me. It is better to assume that we are NOT anti vax on the whole but rather THIS vaccine t hat has killed a RECORD 14,000 people and permanently disabled 600,000 MORE.
9,000 CHILDREN have been permanently disabled, 14 are DEAD and 500 have MYOCARDITIS
The difference between rabid pro vaxxer and US anti THIS vaccine is that we are CRITICAL thinkers and have DONE our homework while the pro vax crowd is busy listening to CORRUPT AND HIGHLY COMPROMISED health officials and politicians in BED with Big pharma. There is no better definition of FASCISM than the Democratic party and their EUGENICS program funded By BILL GATES, A EUGENICIST
After surviving a serious bout of cancer last year, I DO NOT wish to play Russian Roulette with MY life, so that a few brainwashed Dem voters feel safe.
Thank you. I got the flu vaccine last year—like I usually do. My children are all up to date on their vaccinations. But this vaccine? No way. Those who have just a basic understanding of science can see that large swaths of the population should not be taking it.
Thank you, Brian.
I have a friend whose 12 year old Son got the jab. I literally BEGGGED her not to do it but she wouldn't listen. He wound up with MYOCARDITIS. I love how MSM has down played this infection. But it is extremely dangerous and has killed 14 kids already and 500 more have this illness. My friends son has to take 6 different meds for six months. He can have ZERO physical activity and will be at risk for arrhythmia heart attack and stroke the rest of his life..
My friend got a HUGE wake up call as the doctors REFUSED to acknowledge that it was the jab that did this. I can't tell you how many this is happening too. Its as if doctors are onboard this scam. She finally found a doc to treat her Son RELUCTANTLY. She had also endured emotional and verbal abuse from former Dem friends if hers when she shared what happened to her Son.
You are so wise to think of your children, Brian. I mean that from my heart.
We’ll, your friend’s son is doing better than my cousin’s friend: he’s dead. Died of a heart attack two days after his second dose. I don’t know how often people in their 20’s die of a heart attack, but I suppose it *could* have been a coincidence.
I have Charcot Marie Foote syndrome which is not well understood. It has neuropathic associated problems with it that I have discovered on my own. I suspect Eric Clapton is afflicted in some way as the vaccine paralyzed his hands and feet. so no more guitar! However it did go away. But I connected what happened to me and someone else I heard about so do not want to take that chance. I will kill myself first. This vac does stir up latent genetic DNA that can surface and really hurt you. So I think if you are seriously afraid you may not know why but pay attention to the feeling. Something in you is warning you.
amen.

I’m pretty sure all those “free dumb living” people you speak of from WWII have long since passed from this earth. I’m not sure you can prove any of those people way back in the 40’s we’re “antivaxxers” either. Basically your statement makes no sense, and has no relevance to anything. You sound like a typical leftist hack thumbing your nose at people that could possibly have a different worldview than you. You actually are a perfect representation what greenwald spoke of in this piece. A liberal hack.
Well actually there were a lot of anti vaccers then. My mother - who was born in 1899 - blamed her little brothers death on a Small Pox vaccination. She wasnt going to let me go to Kindergarten because I had to get vaccinated for Small Pox in order to go. All the kids came down the back alley after the first day. I was outside wondering where everyone was. They had been to SCHOOL Band I wanted so much to go! Then my mom told me why." (actually she lied and said because I was so little she was keeping me home another year.)n "But," I said, "Beverly, my best friend was born on the same day I was so I am old enough." She never could stand against my demands so I got to go a week later after my shot. So I entered late and so I watched intently what the others were doing as they had already learned and I wanted to be competent. My future husband was in my kindergarten!
Hey, asshole, my vax (had covid) works better then yours.
I had the Rona too. My whole family had it and then my VAXXED son in law?brought home the ""DELTA" variant.
What it really is is a COLD. That's what Corona viruses are.
MSM makes cases sound so many and so scary.
It's funny, liberals will screech at you all day about how many are dead from the scary cold. But ask them how many are dead from the spike protein jab and they completely freak out lol!
The answer is THEY DONT KNOW.
Your point? Hope you say healthy, Superman.
The point is natural immunity is many times more effective than vaccination:
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762
Maybe you can explain why someone with natural immunity should get vaccinated. Lord (of lying) Fauci could not:
https://twitter.com/TheEliKlein/status/1436387479469404164?s=20
“ The point is natural immunity is many times more effective than vaccination…” If one survives the illness.
I have had 3 friends die of covid. None from “the flu”.
Covid is the ONLY vaccination, other than for shingles, that I’ve had in 72 years(other than shots wile in the military). I filtered the info I’ve searched out, and decided that this one is really nasty.
His point is that you are an asshole.
And this response of yours points out you are an ignorant anti-science type.
By antivaxxers (your spelling, not mine) do you mean PhD's? I imagine someone as well-read as yourself knows they are the most vaccine-hesitant group.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/americans-with-phds-are-most-reluctant-to-get-vaccinated-against-covid/ar-AANjRHh
Nice catch. He gives himself away tho by his language.
That would be a clever comeback if NBC and the Wall Street Journal hadn't both done deep dives into the true demographic breakdown of those who have not gotten vaccinated (it's not who you think, or at least wish, it was). And, no, I'm not going to post links - even you should be able to figure out how to use a search engine.
You are partly right and a great deal wrong. Many idiotic people have gotten vaxed.
You are right. See my comment below to this bully.
How old are they now, these people who blocked the refugees and immigrants of WWII? Where are they?
Their spawn are around.
No they are not. But the spawn of Mao never go away. Just check the mirror.
Hate to tellyah, but the present Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, a liberal by the way, is a granddaughter of a scumbag Ukrainian Nazi. So, yeah…the spawn is still around.
Joycer Carol Oates has written a novel about one family. It is excellent. The Gravediggerds Daughter. I once had a 3rd grader in my class whose mom had just been admitted to the mental hospital as school started. She had tried to commit suicide. She told me later that she had been on the last Jewish ship out of Europe -nGermany was it? - and had spent the rest of her life asking herself "Why me? Why was I saved?" Heavy.
Dead of Covid from being warehoused.

Gee, aren't you just a titan of intellect. Did you like temporarily decamp from Twitter to come grace us with your best attempt at a paragraph?
Well there were a lot of them and if you read Dos Passos USA they were in that book.
Wasn't directed at you.
Yes and that was then. Think genealogically and see that it is not going to end.
They have already learned about the bad effects from the shots. News travels fast in the black community. They tell each other the new benefits, where to get this or that, THEY SHARE! They aolready know about bad efects of this SO-CALLED VACCINATION!
CDC VAERS, UK yellow card system are widely available for anyone to read
Keep in mind that VAERS only captures 1-10% of all jab deaths and injuries
14,000 are now DEAD from that jab. Black people have been the target of US eugenicists in the past with the TUSKEGEE experiment.
They are SMART and well researched.
Yes they learn from their history and then act on it.
can you link to where you’re getting your numbers from?

The left has their “Jew” and they are coming for them.
Health Care Is A Human Right(TM), but people I disagree with (the unvaccinated) aren't humans, so they shouldn't get treatment.
Therein lies the truth of any left-wing principle: it only applies to humans, and people who disagree are not humans.
The "left" now is being hit with hypocrisy that theyb must find a way to defend for themselves. so now defense mechanisms are coming into play and they do screw it all up.
Oh dear. I say horrible things about New York. I mean them.
But I know there are many nice folks like yourself too.
You should be alarmed, not worried.
Peace and love.
I think the derangement is on both sides, the trick is to not get lured into any left or right derangement yourself!
Thats not going to work this time. Authoritarians are on the march and you will have to pick a side.
Have you read 'Woke Inc.' by Vivek Ramaswamy? He addresses a lot of this in his book, as to how financial/business intersect with our culture. It's easy to read and understand. (Finance & business are not my strong suits). Give it a tumble.
Terrifying
Yes wear a mask and pin a YELLOW STAR on your T-Shirt. Better yet screen a yellow star on it. Together they make a statement. Now if AOC had worn one to the Met Ball THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A - OK for AOC to do! Naw, she's not enough of a PARRHESIASTES to do THAT!
It is just insanity becoming normal and now institutionalized. AOC is already outdated. A few years ago what she did would have been revolutionary. Today it is not. SPEED is the new theoretical perception to be coupled with rationality and reason which are disappearing into the void below.
Kate, I agree. I still come back to read this every couple of week. Glen did great work on this one.
THANK FUCKING GOD I don’t live in a big city. Especially not one like NY. Dude, I’ve been horrified hearing and watching. Idk what all you got going onor on or owe or what sills or whatever but if I were in any big city like that I would sell everything and run! As far into the country as possible. Things are still mostly normal here. Kinda. Funny enough the state liquor store will not sell you poisonous liquor if you don’t wear a mask. But thankfully in most other places, except like hospitals n banks n gov buildings etc, there’s a pretty good mix of masked n not. I would like to see a lot less ppl make because it just illustrates how poorly educated and ignorant a lot of us are. But still, definitely better than where you’ve been for almost a couple years. I can’t even imagine. I’m imagining you’re in one of the city burrows btw, in the thick of it.
That’s what they want the residents to do: leave. The “Great Reset” psychopaths behind all of this want to de-densify the cities.
Idk what all you’ve got going on, or what you own or owe or what skills you have but…..
The original version got more flow to it...
I hate autocorrect lol
