First, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Google for telling me my browser is out of date eight or nine thousand times. Technology is like that. Like a good friend who tells you things you already know about yourself. Just trying to be helpful in a capitalist “You need to spend money” sort of way. We’ve spent billions of dollars upgrading our facilities! Why haven’t you?
If it’s really such great new software, why doesn’t it work with the old browsers?
Robert Kennedy Jr. has really stepped into it this time. And then he went and stuck head in the Congressional lion’s mouth. It really wasn’t fair. Every time Junior mint got stuck or angered by a question. He goes into this spasming, choking behavior. You can’t tell if he’s having a seizure or choking on a toy dinosaur. It’s like one of those sad late night tv commercials with the crippled children. Is he dying? Is he going to answer the question? Should we dial 911?
One thousand CDC ex-employees and future ex-employees signed a petition calling for RFK Jr. to resign. It’s most likely the opposite will happen. When you claim to know everything, you can’t ever back up and admit that you don’t. Typical top-down management. Rule one – The boss is always right. The boss understands everything better than you do. So, if the boss is wrong. Pretend he’s not and keep your mouth shut!
It’s the kind of stuff which makes people quietly angry. It’s chaos, but it’s not good chaos! This isn’t a winning issue for the administration. So, in effect, they’re lobbying to make themselves more unpopular. “Gasp! Choke! Sputter! Spasm! Mr. Speaker!” Worst public speaker in my memory. Everett Dirksen was pretty hard to take, but this is incredible. If I saw somebody speaking like that parked in a handicapped spot. I wouldn’t say anything if their placard was missing. So, it’s not fair. Junior immediately draws the sympathy factor. “Stop kicking that poor homeless man! Can’t you see he’s afflicted?”
What’s a king to do? Keep an unpopular cabinet minister charging the windmills of unpopularity with unpopular lance and policy. Or pour oil on the waters with someone less controversial. Polling shows 80% of women dislike Kennedy’s policies. That’s a pretty solid number going into the off-year elections. 40% of the electorate straight up hates your guts! What to do, what to do?
Their goal is simple enough. Tell the ill-informed vaccines are bad. Withhold public support for vaccines. Eventually, when the herd is ripe, an epidemic breaks out, and it’s cultural euthanasia. The poor and poorly educated die in droves while the inner party members and their children remain vaccinated. It’s not unlike if you give them enough guns, all the criminals, low brows and low life’s will all kill each other. You didn’t think it was an accident, did you?
Like Republican politicians trying to loosen gun laws didn’t know those guns would eventually end up in the hands of the poor and the violent. Of course, they did! They only play stupid when the tv cameras are on. Because more fear means more votes for Republicans. And more fear means even more guns!
In Floriduh, the land without a future. Give it ten years until the herd of the unvaccinated becomes large enough to support a full-throated epidemic. Governor Ron (mini me) DeSantis emulates his master and cocks his head and listens to his master’s voice. Ron does away with all school vaccine requirements! See? It hurts kids and the public schools all at the same time! You don’t want your little baby Bubba schooling with the unwashed and unvaccinated horde, do ya? I’ll bet the private schools maintain their vaccination requirements. A new class divide.
Already, a college degree from Florida means less. Time was, if you said you lived in Floriduh, people imagined a beautiful condo overlooking a sugar sandy beach by the ocean. Today, they imagine a trailer park, a broken window and a police car in the driveway. With someone shouting, “Take his ass to jail again!” The Chamber of Commerce certainly has their work cut out for them. Each announcement of no vaccines or censorship or woke Disney eliminates the sunshine state from consideration or investment. They have set Floriduh back in time fifty or a hundred years.
A hundred years from today they’ll probably tell jokes about the stupid guy from Floriduh! How many Floriduhians does it take to change a light bulb? A Priest, a Rabbi and a Floriduhian walked into a bar! A Floriduhian walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, “Hey that’s cute! Where did you get him?” The parrot says, “ I won him in a raffle.”
Visit sunny Floriduh! See our concentration camps! Marvel at our empty library shelves! Mingle with the unvaccinated! It’s everything you never want and snore! How to make yourself an undesirable tourist destination. Make the tourist feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Give your state the reputation of morons and crazy people. Learn from Alabama how to make yourself unpopular.
So, tell us about growing up in Floriduh. Did you attend a public school there? Were you vaccinated?
California, Oregon, Washington and now Hawaii had started a health alliance. A new CDC for the free states. Open to reading and writing and book learning and educational stuff. See it for what it is. It’s a parting of the ways. The western states are beginning to untangle themselves from the Federal bureaucracy and choose their own paths. They aren’t ready to fire on Fort Sumter yet, but that is how it starts.
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words…By means of art were are sometimes sent – dimly, briefly – revelations unattainable by reason.”
