The pandemic response created dozens of new billionaires. Politicians are grabbing power and their big pharma and big tech stock portfolios are exploding. You think they give a damn if some rinky dink restaurant franchise owner goes bankrupt?
It's not just about conditioning, though that is a part of it for a very large number of people. Government regulations and regulatory capture are designed to specifically help incumbent businesses while making self employment difficult.
My girl and I are working on a number of different ideas to get out of the rat race. I'm in senior IT management and she's in HR (different companies) and together we're grossing around 250K/yr, but I'd rather make half that and be in control of our own destinies. Startup costs are huge depending on what you're doing, and the city/state/fed regulations surrounding almost anything a person wants to do to earn a living are ridiculous. This is intentional, to make us all slaves to an inescapable dystopian system. I can almost guarantee that if the OSHA mandates are upheld by SCOTUS, the next target will be professional licenses. If you want to be a [plumber/electrician/CPA/attorney/hairdresser/insert licensed profession here] you will need the jab or they'll yank your license.
Because it was never about health, it was always about control.
I disagree with this author. I believe it's ego. Those "smart", "educated", "successful" people see themselves as being like Biden and Fauci and others they admire. They have college degrees, just like their leaders. They're successful, just like their leaders. They're smart, just like their leaders. They even have a catchphrase to pretend they run in the same circles as the people they see on TV. "We're all in this together." To admit that their leaders are wrong would mean they might also be wrong. Their ego won't allow that.
I just learned a friend of mine is in the hospital with covid. His daughter posted on his condition, noting he's on a ventilator. I'm pissed off, because I'm sure the hospital will kill him without ever giving him any actual treatment, can't try IVM or HCQ because muh Drumpf conspiracy theories. They just stuck him on a ventilator. Fucking pieces of shit. Doctors will not be spared when the time comes.
So the people bear the risk of the vaccine, that taxpayers are paying for, and taxpayers are also on the hook for payouts for vaccine injuries. And the pharma companies (and their shareholders in congress) have zero risk. All while continuing to push for more shots, more boosters, more profit.
That's quite a scam.
Scott Adams, is that you?
