It was a huge grift and fortuitously times.

Economy was about to go into recession anyway after this mega long Bull market. COVID enabled Donnie Putin and Xi Biden to print like $10T and run us into insurmountable debt.

You don’t need to start cursing and name calling. You sound a bit unhinged. Maybe you’ve been away from America too long and forgot what makes us so great. Come home. Bask in the red white and blue glory of the most beautiful nation in history.

Local store still has shields at the registers. I asked one of the employees why? She said the manager is a black woman.

No, it most certainly is not.



The UK jails as many, if not more, people than Russia for speech violations.

At minimum, 3000 people per year are prosecuted for social media posts alone in the UK.

Germany? Jail time for multiple offenses, including speech, along with home raids for insulting a politician on X by calling him an idiot (happened).

Spain? Speech violations can result in jail time.

France? Hate speech laws.

Europe is horrendous when it comes to freedom of speech.

Because the US apparently funded gain of use and the lab it “leaked” from?

Don't forget this one: you can't go to a barber to get your hair cut out attend church. However, it's perfectly fine to gather in the streets and riot and set shite on fire because racism or something.

Dumbest! Crap! Ever!

Day one was dumb....the last day was dumb.

My favorite part was all the shushing I received during the first few weeks. People were afraid to speak the obvious truth in front of other people. I didn't care.

Well, you know what i mean. Personally, with all due respect to everyone, I think it's ridiculous that folks go out of their way to get "vaccinated " every chance they get. Either go live in a bubble, or let your own body fight it off. There's too many hypochondriacs walking around. You'd be surprised how washing hands makes a difference.

Without a doubt.

It was an authoritarians wet dream. People afraid of their own shadow put millions out of work.

This exactly. I never bought it. I ignored everything. I was asked to leave restaurants and the pet supply store by the house. I wouldn’t mask and the grocery store never said a word. A few other shoppers would give me the eye. No one ever challenged me. I also had my best year at work. Blood diagnostics..

We were in a hospital the week of March 9th when it blew up...pretty crazy right then.


Honestly, most of it never affected us. We still had church; masks optional.

Flew a lot, Southwest was so stupid with their "point at the drink, no talking cabin". I avoid them to this day, if at all possible.

I never let any of those mandates stop anything I wanted to do, just like most of the other people I knew.

Well to be fair, in the beginning no one really knew if was gonna be a bad mortality rate or not. Thankfully it wasn’t. Unfortunately after we knew the mortality rate was low the panic and drama didn’t slow down.

Yeah and it seemed so obvious to most people yet the goalposts and lies kept doubling down into bizarro world.

COVID was 100% election year propaganda. I say that being pretty political agnostic. Don’t lean strong one side or another.
