#4  Well Lex, to quote an internet meme I saw recently, 'Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do know history are doomed to stand by helplessly while the masses who don't repeat it.'

#3  All of these 'bans' and 'orders' should've been lifted weeks ago; to me it's little more than an overreaction fueled by the panic of mobs & the media (granted, some redundancy there). I've been getting calls from clients over the past month and they all share the following trait - they're scared shitless about their lives being ruined by this crap.

'We had to destroy the village in order to save it' - that will forever be my takeaway from all this. That, and the ChiCom leadership must be killed by the thousands - they need to pay a steep price for this, and whether they did it on purpose is irrelevant.

#2  ^ Lansing boys aren't alone.

If the people don't start seeing more intelligent behavior from this nation's Shitshow, wannabe-soviet political class, then we will indeed start seeing spontaneous acts of resistance around the country.

You cannot kill off the livelihoods of 50 million US families in short order and expect these same Americans to consent to their ruination. We remain a nation of free men and women. That would be yet another in a string of foolish decisions made by our foolish elites.
