Four years since I was forced to go to Chicago three times a week.

Dude, that's cruel and inhuman punishment. I think you have an Eighth Amendment case there if the statute of limitations hasn't expired

Oh no. I guess I wasn't clear. I haven't had to for four years. All WFH since.

 

[BugI02]

I understood that, but that you were ever forced to go to Chiraq on a regular basis qualifies - hence the language about statute of limitations

Same for wife and Bloomington.

Thanks. It is definitely not something I miss. I have been twice since then. It used to be OK, but there is nothing there that appeals to me anymore.

I remember a country mostly being shut down.
But I was working a BUTTLOAD of overtime, because I made soup can steel.
The guys making steel for cars.. stuck at home.
But they were getting 'FREE MONEY'.

And then, when inflation and 'supply chain issues' happened, they all looked surprised.
Even though, many people predicted it.
Except of course, the 'experts' like Krugman. HE couldn't predict it, of course.

Come on. Free money doesn't lead to inflation. It's just those greedy corps raising prices and shrinking sizes to make more money.

That does seem to be the line from the present 'administration'.

I started working when I was 12-13 years old and the first and only time I had been laid off was March 2020.

I guess my previous commemoration was a little early?

Fauci needs to be interrogated about 'the frequency' in the same way Rather was

Fauci needs to be interrogated about 'the frequency' in the same way Rather was

Fauci needs to be strung up by his ****s

IMO Fauci needs to be released to the public with no security detail.

Report Criticizes 'Catastrophic Errors' Of COVID Lockdowns, Warns Of Repeat | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

‘They Will Try to Do This Again’​

“Lockdowns, schools closures, and mandates were catastrophic errors, pushed with remarkable fervor by public health authorities at all levels,” the report states. The authors are skeptical, however, that health authorities will learn from the experience.

“My worry is that if we have another pandemic or another virus, I think that Washington is still going to try to do these failed policies,” said Steve Moore, a CTUP economist. “We’re not here to say ‘this guy got it wrong' or ’that guy or got it wrong,’ but we should learn the lessons from these very, very severe mistakes that will have costs for not just years, but decades to come.

“I guarantee you, they will try to do this again,” Mr. Moore said. “And what’s really troubling me is the people who made these mistakes still have not really conceded that they were wrong.”

Mr. Hanke was equally pessimistic.

“Unfortunately, the public health establishment is in the authoritarian model of the state,” he said. “Their entire edifice is one in which the state, not the individual, should reign supreme.”

The authors are also critical of what they say was a multifaceted campaign in which public officials, the news media, and social media companies cooperated to frighten the population into compliance with COVID mandates.

“During COVID, the public health establishment … intentionally stoked and amplified fear, which overlaid enormous economic, social, educational and health harms on top of the harms of the virus itself,” the report states.

The authors contrasted the authoritative response of many U.S. states to policies in Sweden, which they say relied more on providing advice and information to the public rather than attempting to force behaviors.

Sweden’s constitution, called the “Regeringsform,” guarantees the liberty of Swedes to move freely within the realm and prohibits severe lockdowns, Mr. Hanke stated.

“By following the Regeringsform during COVID, the Swedes ended up with one of the lowest excess death rates in the world,” he said.

Because the Swedish government avoided strict mandates and was more forthright in sharing information with its people, many citizens altered their behavior voluntarily to protect themselves.

“A much wiser strategy than issuing lockdown orders would have been to tell the American people the truth, stick to the facts, educate citizens about the balance of risks, and let individuals make their own decisions about whether to keep their businesses open, whether to socially isolate, attend church, send their children to school, and so on,” the report states.

‘A Pretext to Enhance Their Power’​

The CTUP report cites a 2021 study on government power and emergencies by economists Christian Bjornskov and Stefan Voigt, which found that the more emergency power a government accumulates during times of crisis, “the higher the number of people killed as a consequence of a natural disaster, controlling for its severity.

“As this is an unexpected result, we discuss a number of potential explanations, the most plausible being that governments use natural disasters as a pretext to enhance their power,” the study’s authors state. “Furthermore, the easier it is to call a state of emergency, the larger the negative effects on basic human rights.”

“All the things that people do in their lives … they have purposes,” Mr. Mulligan said. “And for somebody in Washington D.C. to tell them to stop doing all those things, they can’t even begin to comprehend the disruption and the losses.

“We see in the death certificates a big elevation in people dying from heart conditions, diabetes conditions, obesity conditions,” he said, while deaths from alcoholism and drug overdoses “skyrocketed and have not come down.”

The report also challenged the narrative that most hospitals were overrun by the surge of COVID cases.

Of course they'll do it again.

There were ZERO consequences
