I am sure they are going to drag this sh!t out as long as possible too. I could see next year being more of the same. Faucci is saying that maybe we will see some normalcy by 2022. Meanwhile the talk of covid "variants" are being thrown around. That will be the next excuse to drag this out even further. "People are not sage because of variants, lock your doors and windows". I had a few beers tonight. That is why my past 5 or so posts have been cynical. I feel like cutting through the BS tonight.

I'm afraid when the COVID numbers become consistently low, they will combine the COVID and flu numbers to be some kind of "contageous disease index" to keep the sheep in line.

True open public debate and public input is and has been an illusion in this state for far too long! The decisions have been made regardless of what the citizens have to say. One party rule is nothing more than dictatorship, they just have not informed the people about it yet.

****Perhaps not officially, but pretty sure many people have figured this out. The decisions are made mostly behind closed doors and public input is just mostly for show so people feel they have a say.

There are definitely influencers, but they are seemingly mostly political action groups that are either well funded, or have some kind of connection with the individuals making the decisions.

One party rule is essentially a dictatorship, especially if it is grossly one party with virtually no chance of anyone else being able to take the lead to change things up.

That being said, change can happen at the very local level but it requires a lot of work, and the dedication of time to get on school boards, run for office, etc... Most people don't want to get involved in that capacity.

The concept of true open debate and public input toward the making of the legislative sausage has been a fantasy for a while now; certainly this session will have demonstrated that the mob has been well-indoctrinated and will rule the way it was trained to do.

Maryland is lost until the courts can restore the operating system of the Republic. So, probably forever, as the current SCOTUS seems to lack the necessary grit, and the indoctrination of the younger generations is proceeding apace. Those of us old enough to remember what the country was are turning into dust, and the rest are either waiting for their government check or staring at the shiny objects in their cell phones.

It has been said that Rome fell because the lead pipes supplying their water caused increasing stupidity in the populace. That's far from the complete picture, but induced stupidity is certainly playing its part today.

In the good news, at least America is playing the part of the Horrible Example to the rest of the world; France is concerning itself with banning mail-in ballots and computer voting.

"They" are already starting to say this will become endemic, and it will become a part of our daily lives, but to what extent "they" are unsure.

My understanding is that they've BEEN doing that for a long time. So-called "covid" deaths are actually Pneumonia/Flu/Covid combined.



Again, my limited and imperfect understanding is that at least 40 covid variants are already endemic, and have been for ages. They are collectively known as "the common cold."
