COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

Look what the bastards will do. Not all of you will understand the level of evil here, but trust me: FDA Bans Farmers from Caring for Their Own Animals Without Costly Vet Approval – PJ Media

Another naked move to force us to stop eating the foods that have human diet staples for generations. Bet the bug farmers don't have to take their crickets to a vet. We really need Trump back with his executive order to start gutting the bureaucracies.

Is this partly aimed at Ivermectin? I’ve got some lying around the house right now, but maybe we should stock up?

That would be prudent.

Homeschooling sounds like a great idea until it dawns on you that:

1. The parents themselves were probably so badly let down by the poor standard of their own school education that they lack the cognitive tools and breadth of understanding to effectively pass on their intellectual and cultural inheritance to their children. This is always the problem with arguing for better schools of any kind. You can do all sorts of things to make a school better in theory, but who is going to teach in it?
2. In the 21st Century West means it is often no longer possible to maintain a decent standard of living without both parents in full-time jobs.
3. Since the invention of the iPhone and since the pandemic restrictions in particular, children are increasingly isolated and stay indoors at home whenever they are not in school. Homeschooling in isolation is a very different prospect to homeschooling with a supportive community of like-minded families around you.

I am all in favour of the idea, but these are difficult problems to address.

As parents and students continue to flee public education the consequences are both good and dire – Behind The Black – Robert Zimmerman

The abandonment in the last three years by so many parents of the public school system can be attributed to three things. First came the Wuhan panic lockdowns, with schools closing unnecessarily for years forcing little kids to learn remotely, something that simply doesn’t work. Kids need facetime to learn. Otherwise they lose interest.

Next came the mask mandates. Even when many public schools reopened, they demanded that these little kids wear masks eight hours a day and social distance. Such inhumane treatment was unacceptable to many parents, who pulled their kids from the schools so that they wouldn’t be treated as robots or vile carriers of disease.

These irrational actions by public school officials however do not explain the refusal of so many parents to bring their children back to the public schools now that the mandates have ended and the schools are open. Instead, it is what parents now know those public schools have been teaching that has driven them away.

I admit, Tulsi is growing on me. However, I reckon Trump ought to be pissed off enough to come in and fire everybody if he gets it. That kinda makes me smile.

I like DeSantis/Gabbard 2024. Lots of people would vote for them.

Agreed. I am haunted by the fact that Trump had a lot of chances to do more but didn’t.

My biggest gripe is the Fauci situation.

But I do love that he broke so many midwits.

But he has still not apologized for killing many of us with his vaccine, which negates a few things.

Others have suggested that some young men are uncomfortable with how masculinity is being reimagined, reshaped, and redefined.

This discomfort, they argue, has created a profound sense of uncertainty and unease.

Furthermore, he still holds Operation Warp Speed as a major achievement.

It's a damned shame I'll probably have to vote for him.

Equinox to Pay $11.25 Million in Ex-Worker’s Discrimination Lawsuit - The New York Times

The swiftness of the jury’s decision and the size of the payout — $10 million in punitive damages and $1.25 million for the distress she suffered — follow a pattern similar to the verdict reached in the same courthouse just a few weeks before, in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against Donald J. Trump. In both instances, the process and outcome suggest the ways in which recent transformative social movements around race and gender might reframe the way that juries think about the long shadow of emotional disruption that bigotry or sexual violence can produce.

The swiftness of the jury's decision tells you what you need to know about being tried in a Democrat stronghold: You Are Fucked. And yet people still live there.
