I miss the Caribbean. Actually, I just miss holidays. That’s why I’m having at least three next year. Fingers crossed the virus doesn’t do something stupid

The virus might not, but many people are just aching to bring back prison countries. The right people ain’t rich enough yet.
Every time I go to the supermarket, I see those empty shelves that the Dems tell me aren’t happening happening.
Too many people are relishing their panic over the new variant:
Sickening to see. A lot of liberal types are loving this and can’t wait to return to lockdown/prison world. They want it so badly.
Epidemiologists be like, “Endemic doesn’t mean what I said endemic meant a year ago. That was conspiracy crazy talk or my account got hacked or something. Yeah.”
A Quick Thought on the (Mis)use of the Word Endemic.
And half of the people misusing the word “endemic” are “experts,” or are supposed to be.
Covid is endemic now, de facto, no matter what the crybabies cry about, and all lockdown-type restrictions should be relaxed because this isn’t going to be defeated by the Zero Covid fantasies harbored for way, way too long.
Have a conspiracy-ish feeling about the South Africa variant. It being “discovered” now when the world was somewhat getting back to normal feels a little like too much.
Wonder if it’s not just going to be an excuse to lock the world back down again so the plutocrats can suck up the rest of the wealth they have not yet managed to claim. I bet the vaccines do work against it, but we’ll have “no choice” but to go back to prison countries/lockdowns in most places.
Bill and Jeff and Mark aren’t quite rich enough yet. Libs are happy to help them with that. They live for it, and for telling us how they have to hurt us for our own good.
The pandemic and the “need” for lockdowns was used as the excuse to destroy so many public services, public provisions and small/medium-sized businesses, and the liberals want to…just keeping doing that in perpetuity?
That’s a death cult there.
The same with anti-vax, anti-masking “conservatives.” More death cult thinking, except in the form of some idiotic notion of freedom that not even a dog would buy.
The left and right have both become humanity-hating death cults. They themselves don’t put it that way, of course. One wants to destroy your life and happiness “for your own good” and the other for your soul or for what will make some Daddy (Big Sky/Trump/etc.) most pleased.
But neither wants what’s best for you or even for society. This is a sign of failed ideologies. It’s not their fault, in a way. They just have nothing superior to work with, nothing more applicable and no better way to form a world much-changed into a comprehensible configuration.
Some new ways of thinking are gestating, but will they be in time? Will it matter? That’s the test now.
One of the many things I’ve been listening to lately.
I love behind the scenes stuff. And Krysty Wilson-Cairns, the writer, has such a great accent. Glasgow all the way there.
It’s really cool how the so-called liberals have become the prissy fuddy-duddies we used to zealously mock in the 1990s and 2000s.
And by “cool,” I mean it’s FUCKING TERRIBLE.
For vaccinated residents and staff, Thanksgiving in nursing homes is proof ‘we’re back to life.’
I can hear the liberal wails from here. They hate this.
People don’t seem to realize just yet that Covid is largely seasonal. When folks spend more time outside, Covid infections go way down. Then, winter comes, and infections skyrocket. Yet I continue to see shocked and puzzled headlines about this even though it’s completely fucking obvious.
Yes, this even applies to India, because when Delta swept that country it was monsoon season, when people spend much, much more time inside.
I thought it was going to take a disaster to change society significantly. Then Covid came and even that didn’t change much.
Now I think it’s going to take a really, really big disaster.
I wrote something similar to the below to a friend a few minutes ago.
I think a lot of people do enjoy living in fear. “Enjoy” is not the best word, but I cannot think of a better one just yet. They feel it’s comfortable, at least, and like it. Covid really exposed this, but I think there’s a lot of these types, and not just on the left: the preppers (mostly right-wing) are another example.
Man, I hate them.
