That was the “progressive” plan. Keep you from having a chance to get where they are. That’s what they’ve always been about.

Small businesses shut down during the pandemic while "essential" big-box stores remained open...

And whatever small businesses managed to survive the lockdowns may not survive the endless unemployment checks keeping the labor force at home on the couch.

"The rich and powerful thrived as the rest of us suffered"

If you think that's bad, just wait util they get through establishing Karl Marx's policies!

(For a preview, check out North Korea.)

For the uninitiated: Scott Gottlieb was Obama's FDA czar, and sits on the board of Pfizer -- which is making a fortune off of #COVID19, AND donated over $250,000 to Biden's campaign, AND is repped by Douglas Emhoff (aka Mr. Kamala Harris). Grifters Gotta Grift!

The natural state of human existence and history. Only a certain people with a certain history, and perhaps a certain genealogy, made a system based on personal freedom and responsibility work (See: de Toquerville Democracy in America). It no longer exists.

You need to practice reading in context.

In globalism, the working classes, who are supposed to benefit from the advances of the wealthy, are put into worldwide competition.

So, your next-door neighbor is in competition with a $2 per day Cambodian worker. Somebody’s wage and wealth have to decrease.

Meantime the wealthy entrepreneur gains a low-cost labor pool, so his wealth increases.

See what I’m saying, in context?

The Chinese Communist Party used the threat of the pandemic and lockdowns to crush a rebellion in Hong Kong.

The American powers-that-be did something similar

Though we were originally told that the virus came from a “wet market” in Wuhan, it now looks likely that it came from a Chinese lab in Wuhan — one that reportedly got funding from Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases to do “gain of function” research, which looks at ways to make existing viruses deadlier or more infectious.

In the hospital ER where I work in southern NJ I’ve noticed in the last two weeks a number of Mexicans and other Hispanics who are clearly from far south of the border are suddenly showing up in slowly but increasing numbers.

They don’t speak any English and they’re all either Covid positive or ‘’at risk’’.

This buck toothed weasel of a governor is complicit in this with out a doubt.
