Elon offers to buy Twitter; CDC extends the airline mask mandate; Wen whacks Philadelphia’s mask mandate; the Economist gently criticizes China; evolving biology in US prisons; and lots more...
Remember 4-15 is emancipation day so returns are due Monday 4-18. Which is good Bc I wait to the deadline to file my return and everyone else’s. Ha! Good Friday to all I love Easter. I have 144 eggs to hide for a three year old that will find them all and then ask me to hide more eggs. 😂
Elon musk is so exciting. I may lose a little money but I don’t mind. I wanted to trump to buy twitter. I’m ok with losing money if it means twitter is free for all to say what they want. I love Elon.
If the board doesn’t approve this the stock will tank and they will all be sued. Current leadership doesn’t add value. If Elon gets to own twitter I will get my first twitter account. I want the board and all executive leadership out on their arses. Gone bye bye.
Ha. At some point amazon had a sale on plastic eggs and I got 144 pack for like 10 dollars. I also have to put one herseys kiss or jelly bean in each one. This is niece of mine loves the hunt. She was crying last weekend that it was not Easter yet and she wanted to help hide the eggs too. Wants a leg up on her sister.
I didn’t even realize was thinking of nieces obsession with hunting eggs. Last year I did it rounds until she got tired and she had been asking for Easter all year round. I just hope they don’t ruin my crop mulberries guavas bananas and mangos. I’m raising fruit just in case Run out food. Will need to say I deduct one egg from any child messes with fruiting trees. 😂
So many wicked rulers, so much groaning. Oh God, increase the righteous! I know that in Your timeline, things don’t end well for this earth or its mockers and maligners. And we would always choose eternity with You over staying here one extra minute. But while we’re here, we humbly beg for a reprieve from the evil, for mercy and supernatural intervention for those who are suffering, and for wisdom and courage for our children who are facing a dismal future lest You show Yourself mightily to them. Make it so, Lord Jesus, we pray.
Jeff, would you be willing to use your Operation Multiplier superpowers to bring attention to the seven COVID tyranny bills up for vote in California in the coming weeks?
If so, I would be grateful if you would share my public comment:
Jeff I am a native Floridian who moved to San Diego in 2008. My entire family is still in FL. Californian is so beautiful (the politics are rotten to put it lightly). Please help us!! These bills are tyranny. Need to be stopped what can you do??
I tell every single person I know about your blog they ALL thank me furiously for the intro. There are so many like us here. You are one of the brightest lights in my day when it comes to getting info. Your blog is the first thing I read when my alarm goes off. Please do whatever you can to help us out here in Commiefornia! I just became a paid subscriber because I couldn’t think of a better person or a more valuable investment for my money! Thank you again!!
As a Southern Californian that spends a lot of time in Florida on business it is tempting. That being said, things will have to get pretty bad here before I'm willing to trade it for four months of 100 deg temps and 100% humidity! I know, I know, the rest of the year is beautiful. But it's beautiful here twelve out of twelve months.
Thank for the link, Eli, and I certainly hope you’re right! The first one (SB1184) already passed, though, so we can’t let our guard down for a minute. Fortunately, it was the least innocuous of the bunch.
Did you see? SB 871 (all kids forced to V by Sen. Pan, with no personal belief or religious exemptions) AND Newsome's somewhat less stupid mandate both shelved! The death knoll of the slate of bad bills begins . . . I hope it rings louder and louder.
The So. Tee is already available. I’m hoping they will make one with $cience. To me that one says it all because so much of what’s driven the whole covid farce is Big $$ for Big Pharma…the old maxim holds true “follow the money”.. the science in this case has been no more than a media buzzword.
Jeff. Please set me straight. What exactly is a “wheelie bin”? My mind is literally whirring.
Elon Musk is an amazing fellow. I highly recommend his biography, by Ashlee Vance. Musk is Tom Swift Jr. come to life: a kid who spent his time dreaming about building super cool electric cars, and rockets, then grew up and freakin’ did it. You can have a conversation with the guy about random stuff like British cheese-wheel rolling contests whilst he is computing orbital mechanics in his head. I might be exaggerating a bit, but not much.
Re: “The Chinese are dealing with a pandemic, all right, just not a COVID pandemic. They are fighting a pandemic of stable authoritarianism enhanced by “Science!” Science with a gun to its head. There are a lot of people here who’d have promptly voted for Shanghai-style lockdowns if they had a chance. Those are the ones who must be stopped, politically, for good.”
This is so reminiscent of the point in Atlas Shrugged, toward the end of John Galt’s 80-page speech where he jerks to one side to reveal that he is being held at gunpoint. Totalitarianism always comes down to the whips and the clubs no matter what cover stories are told along the way. As you say Jeff, “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” So true. This is what we have in store for us if we let the WHO, WEF, et al take over. WTF ????
Too late! It's a trashcan with wheels! Just imagine the fun they were having with their wheelie bin and their unwanted anatomical structure - woot woot!!!
Elon Musk is fascinating, no doubt. Since you’ve read his bio, did it shed any light on his guiding principles? He seems to be an enigma in many ways, and I can’t help but think that someone who can spend 47 Billion (is that pocket change for him?) is a little scary!
Watch his interview by the Babylon Bee. Very interesting. He has a seedling belief in God, kind of agnostic. IMHO he wants more. Prayers for this guy are in order.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. This document (https://engineeredtruth.com/11-lessons-elon-musk/) may give some insight. I have to go back and read that autobiography again to give you more insight. He seems to be sincerely and deeply concerned about the future of humanity and wants to do something about it. I think his brain simply lacks the ability to ever stop thinking complex thoughts. Combine that with a photographic memory and you have a guy whose CPU runs all the time, chewing on problems, with a lot of facts on hand. He's a curious combination of a hopeless romantic and a hard-nosed realist with almost unshakeable confidence in his ability to solve big problems.
"Grilled" cheese sandwich. Toast 2 pieces of bread. Put 2 pieces of presliced cheese between the toasts. Put on a paperplate and nuke for 15 seconds. Poof! Cheese Sandwich with no nasty grease. 👍 --- Edited to correct poor typing skills.
There's Tom Swift Sr who invented mundane items like big searchlights and fancy motorcycles. He begat Tom Jr who invented stuff like the Megascope Space Prober and the Repelatron Skyway.
Another bit of good news. A few weeks ago I wrote my supermarket to thank them for doing such a great job keeping us supplied through supply chain disruptions. And then added that as a med lab tech, the science is clear that even a correctly worn N95 mask cannot stop an aerosolized respiratory virus and that I hoped they would allow their employees to unmask so they could breathe freely again. I may have added that I feel bad listening to them choke when they inadvertantly inhaled a bit of fabric.
Anyway,I just got home from food shopping. Thrilled to see SMILES, NOT MASKS at checkout!!!! 🎉🕺💃🕺💃🎉
I liked Steve Kirsch’s take on this. It seemed logical to me. I’m not all “in” with Steve Kirsch in general as he admits to being a democrat, and I’m staunch conservative, but his response on this topic was very reasonable.
For one, killing many people in Iraq when we went in with the false information about WMD. There were many experts (military and intelligence community) at the time that said it was impossible (see Scott Ritter). Many out there believe our leaders knew that too, but wanted to go in for other reasons.
I'm so cynical I rarely laugh anymore but "fun mommy-daddy times ensued in the jailhouse showers" was hilarious. Plus, you referred to the uber-vulnerable male ladies with all their o-so-hated body parts still intact as cross-dressers which is verboten don't you know. These are poor, victimized men just trying to be their "true selves" which apparently involves running the prison stud farm.
But I gotta comment on the Daily UK's post on the New Jersey prison (thank goodness we can count on news from THEM!). Women getting pregnant from transgender inmates is Sesame Street basics! "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong!" 😂 Kids get it; when will adults? Sheesh.
And I wonder if there will (finally) be a Shanghai revolt?
When Biden speaks he makes sure to always say that we must continue sending weapons to Ukraine. He inserts the statement in strange places where it doesn’t fit into the sentences before or after. Someone told him to keep repeating it. My guess is his military/ industrial complex buddies want to make sure the $$ keeps flowing.
I get the sense that Biden is like a 3 year old child repeating everything his parents say in private, out loud in public, without context. Kids say the darndest things.
The airline mask extension was no surprise. How will two weeks make a difference? Because they will extend it again and again. People want to travel again. They are willing to put up with this control factor to be able to get where they want to go. They hope it will end at some point. They are a nuisance but people have gotten used to wearing them, talking in them, even sleeping in them. There is no health reason for them, they don’t even pretend there is. The CDC, like the Wizard of Oz, just issues these proclamations and they are law. We are still in a National Emergency which allows for this rapid descent into communism. Brandon has become Supreme Ruler.
We had to pick our daughter up from Detroit Metro Airport last weekend. First time I have been in an airport in 4 years. We walked into the baggage claim area to await her international flight, masks in hand. We noticed several people not bothering with them so we ditched ours. As has been the case many people had flights canceled domestically and were frustrated trying to get bags checked in back to come back the next day. Many had ripped off masks in frustration, but many tried to talk to us, mask firmly in place. When I signaled I could not understand much of what they were saying, they talked louder as if that helped. The passengers on arrival flights all wore masks. As soon as we got outside the terminal, our daughter ditched her paper mask in large garbage can crammed full of masks. Wow, the new normal.
Maybe we should all start leaving our shoes at the end of the TSA X-ray belt. Wear your oldest and smelliest. Walk away from them. If it’s crowded that could be easy. Can we multiply that?
I can assure you, the front line folks at TSA are NOT mask fans. There are outliers in any 55,000 person group but the vast majority of them want desperately to be rid of them. I have inside sources.
Think how hard it is to get anyone to actually WORK at available jobs. So let me offer you the following.
A 13 page application going back to high school.
A deep credit check.
A National Security check for a security clearance.
Multiple drug tests.
Severe uniform requirements.
Shift work, sometimes split shift work. Sunday, holidays, your birthday. Day and time do not matter to management. It can't. Now, for the big payday! Around 15.50 per hour. That'd be great if we lived in 1996. I saw a banner yesterday advertising for staff at Zaxby's. 15.00 per hour and they can't get help. Home depot lines 12 deep at the garden center. Why? Even begging for applications they can't get people to work.
So the poor old guy at the checkpoint is not responsible for face rags.
I’m sure you are correct. They don’t look very happy. I have a bone to pick with some. I traveled the day after wrist surgery. My arm was in a sling. Painfully so. A sadistic bitch ordered me to wrench my arm out of the sling. I told her this hurts. A lot. She just smiled.
It is and has been a crappy job. Just look at the history. I wish I had created a pamphlet to give to travelers that described the best things to do when those type of things happen and I know that they do. 1. Ask for a supervisor. 2. Record what is happening. (It is legal to video at a checkpoint). 3. Take names. 4. Write down what happened happened while still fresh. 5. Use the TSA website to start your complaints. 6. Follow up.
I know you shouldn't have to do anything to receive polite treatment and why should you have to "manage" those employees. It does help though, especially it helps their coworkers by getting rid of them. It does happen.
Good points. I was on painkillers. Could that have initiated a level of extra searches if I had admitted that? Sorry. I just don’t trust any authority anymore. Wonder where I got that frame of mind. 🤔. Cheers!
Interesting about the application. Sorry, but I used to fly frequently and there must be some fraudulent activity in that process or ways to override findings because with that amount of scrutiny, I would have expected TDA different from the ones I came in contact with.
Maybe it's in the training or an indoctrination by jerks.
Would love to do that but some of us that do actually work have to travel for their jobs. I really can't understand why they are hanging on to this stupid crap when it would be so easy to just let it expire. Almost like they are gleefully enjoying causing everyone pain!
Good to see continued reports of non compliance. I reported about 10% non compliance in VA and 2% in CA airports last week. Will see if those numbers go up after April 18, when all the staff folks I talked to were really hoping the mandate would end. I saw staff in VA with the masks below their chins. Hopefully mutiny is about to ensue. At least flying next week gives me one more chance to enjoy rebellion (I miss being a teenager).
We just came back from a trip to see my husband's sister. (last night) Flew one way on American, and the other on Southwest. In and out of five airports. (cuz you cant get a direct flight anywhere, it seems) Nobody got in our faces about not wearing the mask properly. Almost never had it over our noses, and not over our mouths much of the time. Wore it properly for theTSA checkpoint but that's about it. While we weren't going to push back against not wearing one at all, no one cared. Not one person inside any of the airports or on the flights. Just having one seemed to qualify as compliance. Of course, they have to spew their rules about regulations but no one enforced them. It's just stupidity that they keep extending the mandate.
Yes, but by going and wearing the thing, even if only as a chin-strap, you demonstrated that you were willing to comply. I would wager that if someone in "authority" had told you to wear them correctly, you would have, because in an airport or on board an aircraft, unlike in a store, you can't just say, "No thanks!" and turn around and walk out.
I was just saying that even though these "rules" are still in place, even those with the authority that could have made us wear them correctly...didn't.
Doesn't show much commitment on the part of the administration if they only extended the mask mandate fifteen days! In my mind, it just proves how totally arbitrary their actions are.
No doubt. Hope there is a tipping point soon. But plenty of capitulation still on so much of this dangerous nonsense. I talked to a millennial the other day. He just does what “they tell him to do”. Arrrgg.
"Twitter’s stock jumped 12% in pre-market trading. Twitter’s managers have a fiduciary duty to shareholders. Musk is a transformative figure. He transformed electric cars and auto manufacturing. He transformed space flight, making private access to space possible. He could transform Twitter.
Get ready for the pro-lockdowners to start losing their mask-loving minds. This is going to be epic."
Transformed privately? How many billion were provided by the US taxpayer/federal reserve to TESLA over the past decade? When you say private I think you mean "private"?
Putin, Zelensky and Musk are all members of the WEF! Add prior? Blackrock people now advising Biden...also WEF.

Is there a biblical meaning to hiding 144 eggs specifically? 🤔
Ha. At some point amazon had a sale on plastic eggs and I got 144 pack for like 10 dollars. I also have to put one herseys kiss or jelly bean in each one. This is niece of mine loves the hunt. She was crying last weekend that it was not Easter yet and she wanted to help hide the eggs too. Wants a leg up on her sister.
🤣
Interesting observation on the divine number 12! I wonder if Amazon knew what they were doing.
I didn’t even realize was thinking of nieces obsession with hunting eggs. Last year I did it rounds until she got tired and she had been asking for Easter all year round. I just hope they don’t ruin my crop mulberries guavas bananas and mangos. I’m raising fruit just in case Run out food. Will need to say I deduct one egg from any child messes with fruiting trees. 😂
“When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,
But when a wicked man rules, people groan.”
Proverbs 29:2 NASB1995
So many wicked rulers, so much groaning. Oh God, increase the righteous! I know that in Your timeline, things don’t end well for this earth or its mockers and maligners. And we would always choose eternity with You over staying here one extra minute. But while we’re here, we humbly beg for a reprieve from the evil, for mercy and supernatural intervention for those who are suffering, and for wisdom and courage for our children who are facing a dismal future lest You show Yourself mightily to them.

Jeff, would you be willing to use your Operation Multiplier superpowers to bring attention to the seven COVID tyranny bills up for vote in California in the coming weeks?
If so, I would be grateful if you would share my public comment:

I also include step-by-step instructions on how people can submit their own public comments after the essay.
Thank you, Jeff, for helping to stop medical tyranny before it metastasizes to the rest of the country! 🙌
Jeff I am a native Floridian who moved to San Diego in 2008. My entire family is still in FL. Californian is so beautiful (the politics are rotten to put it lightly). Please help us!! These bills are tyranny. Need to be stopped what can you do??

California is lost, move back to Florida.
As a Southern Californian that spends a lot of time in Florida on business it is tempting. That being said, things will have to get pretty bad here before I'm willing to trade it for four months of 100 deg temps and 100% humidity! I know, I know, the rest of the year is beautiful. But it's beautiful here twelve out of twelve months.
Untrue. Here in Daytona, within 5 miles of the coast, it rarely exceeds 90. Humidity is more moderate also.
Daytona. The only place I've been in Florida that I liked. --- That gorgeous beach. 🤤
Stay where you are at. You complain how bad the politics are and then talk about the weather. Apparantly the weather wins over your miserable
governmental politics. So, stay there and enjoy your weather.
🤣
We need to stop looking for an earthly savior and get involved locally to facilitate changes!
Yes it’s beautiful there but move back. Just FYI bursting at the seems here in south florida so maybe move north. :).
A CA multiplier suggestion - Kevin Kiley, state assemblyman, is the guy fighting these bills. He sued Gov. Gruesome re cov. Overreach and won.
https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/11/14/james-gallagher-wins-lawsuit-against-gavin-newsom/
Awesome and great to know!
CalMatters was brave enough to publish an anti-CA bills piece. I'm hoping this means the bills will soon be dead.

Thanks for your letter and encouragement to submit ours.
Thank for the link, Eli, and I certainly hope you’re right! The first one (SB1184) already passed, though, so we can’t let our guard down for a minute. Fortunately, it was the least innocuous of the bunch.

I have an idea for a shirt! It’s very simple, and very Jeff, in my opinion:
So.
Well.
Or something.
Whaddya think?
The So. Tee is already available. I’m hoping they will make one with $cience. To me that one says it all because so much of what’s driven the whole covid farce is Big $$ for Big Pharma…the old maxim holds true “follow the money”.. the science in this case has been no more than a media buzzword.
Don’t forget “POLITIC$”
No spaces between the stacked words though…it came though that way automatically 🤷🏼♀️

Yeah but like my Grandma always said, "If you don't ask then you will never find out anything."
As my nine year old niece says if you don’t know google. Google knows everything.
But google doesn't always let you know the truth.
Too late! It's a trashcan with wheels! Just imagine the fun they were having with their wheelie bin and their unwanted anatomical structure - woot woot!!!

Love this story about Elon Musk. I dumped Twitter when they dumped Trump, but if Elon buys it and decensors it, I may have to reinstall the app.
Not sure if you're suggesting for POTUS run, but ineligible for that particular office; born in S Africa, not U.S.
He is a behind the scenes guy making cool stuff cuz he is rich already. And influencing the spectrum of politics by doing that.
It's the thing cleaning ladies (or gentlemen?) push around.
Wait. What? How is that used as a … oh never mind.
Look, I just know things, I don't understand them.
I don’t think I understand the wheelie bin thing. Maybe that’s a good thing!
Save your energy for understanding important things like English grammar and making grilled cheese properly.

“Those are the ones who must be stopped, politically, for good” -Love it, totality agree.
Without erasing emergency powers is this even possible? Is it the laws on the books that are the problem, or the people we elect? Or both?
God bless you for shutting your office down on Good Friday! Amazing! I hope you have a very blessed Easter.
A must watch https://rumble.com/v10miez-world-premiere-watch-the-water.html
Steve Kirsch's take on "Watch the Water" below. As info, Steve and his team will be meeting with Dr. Bryan Ardis today to discuss his theories...
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/what-i-think-of-the-bryan-ardis-video?s=r
I liked Steve Kirsch’s take on this. It seemed logical to me. I’m not all “in” with Steve Kirsch in general as he admits to being a democrat, and I’m staunch conservative, but his response on this topic was very reasonable.
Problem was tho he admitted to not watching much of it. So.
Wait, he said in his comments he did watch it.
Anyway, he is talking to him today to attempt to arrive at a consensus. Can’t wait to listen to that!
“ This is hardly acceptable from a president of the United States, a country that has committed well-known crimes in recent times.”
Well known “crimes against humanity “ … snake oil anyone ?
For one, killing many people in Iraq when we went in with the false information about WMD. There were many experts (military and intelligence community) at the time that said it was impossible (see Scott Ritter). Many out there believe our leaders knew that too, but wanted to go in for other reasons.
Ah good potential catch. I was wondering what he meant.
I was referencing the “snake oil” part, not the humanity 😁
On my gosh! What an eye opener this is. What evil.
Yes, watch!!
I'm so cynical I rarely laugh anymore but "fun mommy-daddy times ensued in the jailhouse showers" was hilarious. Plus, you referred to the uber-vulnerable male ladies with all their o-so-hated body parts still intact as cross-dressers which is verboten don't you know. These are poor, victimized men just trying to be their "true selves" which apparently involves running the prison stud farm.
I’m wondering if they are actually suffering from multiple personality disorder…
That would explain a lot.
In a word: Yes
It used to be called dissociative identity disorder
Wow! So much here today!
But I gotta comment on the Daily UK's post on the New Jersey prison (thank goodness we can count on news from THEM!). Women getting pregnant from transgender inmates is Sesame Street basics!

The airline mask extension was no surprise. How will two weeks make a difference? Because they will extend it again and again. People want to travel again. They are willing to put up with this control factor to be able to get where they want to go. They hope it will end at some point. They are a nuisance but people have gotten used to wearing them, talking in them, even sleeping in them. There is no health reason for them, they don’t even pretend there is. The CDC, like the Wizard of Oz, just issues these proclamations and they are law. We are still in a National Emergency which allows for this rapid descent into communism.

Maybe we should all start leaving our shoes at the end of the TSA X-ray belt. Wear your oldest and smelliest. Walk away from them. If it’s crowded that could be easy. Can we multiply that?
I can assure you, the front line folks at TSA are NOT mask fans. There are outliers in any 55,000 person group but the vast majority of them want desperately to be rid of them. I have inside sources.
Think how hard it is to get anyone to actually WORK at available jobs. So let me offer you the following.
A 13 page application going back to high school.
A deep credit check.
A National Security check for a security clearance.
Multiple drug tests.
Severe uniform requirements.
Shift work, sometimes split shift work. Sunday, holidays, your birthday. Day and time do not matter to management. It can't. Now, for the big payday! Around 15.50 per hour. That'd be great if we lived in 1996. I saw a banner yesterday advertising for staff at Zaxby's. 15.00 per hour and they can't get help. Home depot lines 12 deep at the garden center. Why? Even begging for applications they can't get people to work.
So the poor old guy at the checkpoint is not responsible for face rags.
I’m sure you are correct. They don’t look very happy. I have a bone to pick with some. I traveled the day after wrist surgery. My arm was in a sling. Painfully so. A sadistic bitch ordered me to wrench my arm out of the sling. I told her this hurts. A lot. She just smiled.
It is and has been a crappy job. Just look at the history. I wish I had created a pamphlet to give to travelers that described the best things to do when those type of things happen and I know that they do. 1. Ask for a supervisor. 2. Record what is happening. (It is legal to video at a checkpoint). 3. Take names. 4. Write down what happened happened while still fresh. 5. Use the TSA website to start your complaints. 6. Follow up.
I know you shouldn't have to do anything to receive polite treatment and why should you have to "manage" those employees. It does help though, especially it helps their coworkers by getting rid of them. It does happen.
Good points. I was on painkillers. Could that have initiated a level of extra searches if I had admitted that? Sorry. I just don’t trust any authority anymore. Wonder where I got that frame of mind. 🤔. Cheers!
There's a lot of sadists in government jobs....and dentists.
Yeah. I had a dentist for sure once. 😱😱
Interesting about the application. Sorry, but I used to fly frequently and there must be some fraudulent activity in that process or ways to override findings because with that amount of scrutiny, I would have expected TDA different from the ones I came in contact with.
Maybe it's in the training or an indoctrination by jerks.
"They are willing to put up with this control factor to be able to get where they want to go. "
Some people might be. I'm not. If I can't drive there, I'm not going.
Would love to do that but some of us that do actually work have to travel for their jobs. I really can't understand why they are hanging on to this stupid crap when it would be so easy to just let it expire. Almost like they are gleefully enjoying causing everyone pain!

Not to mention all personnel are exhausted. Can't think or do anything with a rag on your face.
Good to see continued reports of non compliance. I reported about 10% non compliance in VA and 2% in CA airports last week. Will see if those numbers go up after April 18, when all the staff folks I talked to were really hoping the mandate would end. I saw staff in VA with the masks below their chins. Hopefully mutiny is about to ensue. At least flying next week gives me one more chance to enjoy rebellion (I miss being a teenager).
We just came back from a trip to see my husband's sister. (last night) Flew one way on American, and the other on Southwest. In and out of five airports. (cuz you cant get a direct flight anywhere, it seems) Nobody got in our faces about not wearing the mask properly. Almost never had it over our noses, and not over our mouths much of the time. Wore it properly for theTSA checkpoint but that's about it. While we weren't going to push back against not wearing one at all, no one cared. Not one person inside any of the airports or on the flights. Just having one seemed to qualify as compliance. Of course, they have to spew their rules about regulations but no one enforced them. It's just stupidity that they keep extending the mandate.
Yes, but by going and wearing the thing, even if only as a chin-strap, you demonstrated that you were willing to comply. I would wager that if someone in "authority" had told you to wear them correctly, you would have, because in an airport or on board an aircraft, unlike in a store, you can't just say, "No thanks!" and turn around and walk out.
Yeah, I get that.
I was just saying that even though these "rules" are still in place, even those with the authority that could have made us wear them correctly...didn't.
Doesn't show much commitment on the part of the administration if they only extended the mask mandate fifteen days! In my mind, it just proves how totally arbitrary their actions are.
Just two more weeks to flatten the curve. Then they'll surely cancel it.
Shock Doctrine. Give back. Take away. Over and over again until complete capitulation.
At this juncture, more and more people are recognizing that we just being jerked around. That foments anger, not capitulation.
No doubt. Hope there is a tipping point soon. But plenty of capitulation still on so much of this dangerous nonsense. I talked to a millennial the other day. He just does what “they tell him to do”. Arrrgg.
Wow! I thought millennials ran the household.
2 weeks to flatten the curve! Again!🥴
Thanks Jeff for all you do. Hoping your family is feeling better!

Transformed privately? How many billion were provided by the US taxpayer/federal reserve to TESLA over the past decade? When you say private I think you mean "private"?
Putin, Zelensky and Musk are all members of the WEF! Add prior? Blackrock people now advising Biden...also WEF.
