I hate to break this to you, but most Americans are perfectly content to be “sheeple.”
Most people are
Tucker can only illustrate the madness. Its up to us to make it end.
Write to a friendly legislator if you have one and demand the emergency powers statutes be revised to prevent this from happening again.
I think it was Time or Newsweek, but they had a breakdown on the percentage of people who can work from home.
In the upper class dominated by knowledge-workers like engineers, accountants, marketing gurus and executives, 50-55% can work from home. Others are essential but well paid like doctors, lawyers, pharmacists. Barring medical professionals, it is low risk and high pay. And this is the group most likely to have paid vacation and sick leave to cover much of the gap, if they don’t have savings.
In the middle class, around 25% can work from home. Of those that don’t, they’re well paid as nurses and teachers. If you’re a public service employee, odds are your pay is unaffected. Some are taking on risk to earn income as food delivery drivers.
In the working class, only 5% can work from home. They’re the ones making a little money selling stuff on eBay. The ones that are working are at high risk, whether working as truck drivers or nursing assistants. They’re the ones most likely to lose their entire life savings when the business goes under, and they were the least likely to get PPP loans that went to big business first.
This means the divide is rich elites sitting at home saying stay home and stream shows because I’m scared against people afraid they won’t be able to feed their children and will lose everything.
Niel Ferguson actually has a HISTORY of sky high death estimates.
His projections led to millions of British livestock killed due to hoof and mouth disease projections. And it turned out inspectors were spreading it through unsterilized shoes.
He predicted up to fifty thousand dead from mad cow disease.

He predicted up to 200 million dead from bird flu. Note that’s worse than the Wuhan virus and they still didn’t lock everything down.

That makes the hyperbolic Wuhan virus death projections his FOURTH wild projection .... used to determine policy.
Case in point, Andy Cuomo’s daily power point meetings are now a stage to beg for 500 BILLION to bail out the states - nope, no thanks.
IMO, ALL the Dem Governors are playing a dangerous power game of “Can You Top This?”
Payback will come-—and PAYBACK IS A BITCH, as we all know.
Tucker’s an insightful young man...
