Authoritarianism. Nothing new. It will be coming back here as well. With no good reason, of course, besides control. We live in a modern iteration of Middle Age European feudalism. Exercising absolute power and control just because they can. And just because we let them.

At one time, the serf dared not rebel because he'd be looking at the business end of a crossbow or sword. Now the serf dares not rebel because he'd be looking down the business end of an M4, a tank, a bomber, a drone, etc. The serf of the year 1250 had a better chance than we do of ending tyranny. We're so lopsided now that the "common man" (serf) has two choices: do as he is told or die. And if you are a good little boy, we'll let you play on your smartphone.

The Biden group has increased the price of gasoline double. Food has increased by 14% Philadelphia is imposing mask mandates. Beef prices without grain will soar.

Lockdowns come in many forms. Don't worry. For some reason I know we win.

It will get worse, this is the beginning. We're in for a recession, maybe depression.

Great advice.

I would add: vote against every Democrat for the foreseeable future.

Zero-Covid is absolutely nuts. Especially in perpetuity. All the more reasons supply chains should be diversified away from China as much as possible. No reason the rest of the world should be impacted because CCP China didn't develop/obtain better vaccines.

Good luck with that. We will see much worse subs coming. BA2 is nothing. We should lock down anyone from coming here from any country.
