For Those Who Support The Lockdown

At this point, if you support a continued lockdown or even a doubling down, maybe instead of snitching on a neighbour or watching 90 Day Fiance thinking you're saving lives, maybe you may want to consider taking your head out of your ass and come up for some air.

'We're opening too soon!'

Like anyone knows for sure.

What we do know is the lockdowns never had hard science or data to back it up. Sorta like how Gen. Michael Flynn should never have been investigated in the first place as we've learned.

In the former, we assume the measures are working or worked while in the latter it led to a coerced confession perpetuating a Russian collusion myth.

In both cases faulty premises led to unconscionable conclusions.

So what I suggest people do is look at it this way. For every drop in the GDP or increased uptick in unemployment, imagine a person added to the misery curve unable to provide for their families.

And with that comes other consequences in the form of suicides, bankruptcies, domestic and child abuse.

YOU did that.

In saving some lives, you advocate for the ruining of many.

If you can't see how much damage this is doing to your fellow human, then you've just made your own trade-off calculus you admonish others for.

Maybe you should go to a soup kitchen or look someone in the eye and tell them to their face that 'we're in this together' as you go cash your pay check.

That would take courage. Alas, it's not like we're being lead by people of honour. The same people who foolishly and arbitrarily taught people the economy is made up of 'essentials' and 'non-essentials', of course consider themselves 'essential'. Perhaps, but one way they could win permanent respect would be if they cut their own salaries and lead by example.

I know. Unicorns.

Much easier to sacrifice a massage therapist and hairdresser.

And you bought the bit hook, line and sinker.

Snap out of it.
