We’re still wearing masks to walk to our tables in restaurants after which we can take them off again once we’re in close proximity to others. Same logic from the very beginning where childcare was shut down for everyone except “head start” the childcare for people who aren’t employed or going to school. Today masks remain the most important thing we can do unless you’re a politician who wants to have fun. You’re getting exactly what you voted for. Congrats.

California has always hated and continues to hate small business. Covid is just a convenient flashpoint.

How many stock options can a bureaucrat get at a small business?

Are any offering nice cushy CEO or executive director NGO positions?

How many lobbying dollars can mom and pop conjure up after they pay their employees, stock up on inventory, comply with the byzantine regulations, and raise their kids with what’s left?

Oh yeah, let’s outlaw leaf blowers to save the planet while we are at it.

There are two kinds of small businesses in California, those that have gone out of business and those that are about to. In the long run, its better to just be unemployed or a cog in the corporate wheel, or more likely a gig worker in it. Exactly by design.

Download their app and maybe they will grant a few of you the chance to bid on cleaning someone’s toilet. And instead of negotiating for a better fee, they will just let you shame their “clients” by exposing your meager tips. In mean time, they will profit from distracting yourself with a contrived race war, or some porn… tap here for your dopamine hit!

You are captive to the puppet masters who run your “leaders” and arbiters of their “truth”.

Wake up, if not for yourself, for your kids.

——-The 2020 Recession: Blame Lockdowns, Not the Virus (AIER Mar2021)——

“It is a well-established fact that the lockdowns have devastated the economy in a manner unseen since the Great Depression.”
“Attributing the negative economic reality to the “pandemic” fails to recognize the causal agent of this downturn in employment and production: lockdown policies.”
“State-enforced lockdowns create uncertainty, which impacts business investment, winnows savings, and destroys consumption at every point along the term structure of production. ”

“….strange and economically ludicrous idea that forcefully shutting down society will not have a devastating impact,
especially when Covid-19 has been confirmed to be a relatively mild disease that is mostly dangerous to the elderly and immunocompromised.”

“States such as New York, California, and Massachusetts issued wide-ranging executive orders shuttering businesses, mandating social distancing, and mask-wearing early on in the pandemic… other states largely abstained from imposing top-down controls on their citizens. ”

“…Florida has kept in-person K-12 schooling open throughout the pandemic, has enforced no mandatory travel quarantine, and imposed no statewide capacity restrictions on restaurants.”

“CA and FL have similar Covid cases and deaths per 100,000 population: 119 vs. 135 and 8,621 vs. 8,370, respectively.
Despite FL having a significantly higher at-risk, elderly (65+ years old) population than CA,
16.5% vs. 14.8%,
CA actually experienced more nursing home deaths per 100 residents than FL: 2 vs. 1.”

“The Major Difference between FL and CA?
Unemployment: FL’s rate is 6.1% while CA’s is a whopping 9%.”

“…ten states achieved record low unemployment rates as low as 4%”.. with no restrictive authoritarian control of the population..

“…six states & Wash, D.C. have historically high unemployment rates greater than 8%”…most with highly restrictive lockdown policies.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about the greatest economic contraction in modern recorded history …..To suggest that Covid, not the unprecedented halting of societal activity with the force of government is responsible, would be the height of ignorance.
Lockdowns as they have been applied in 2020 have never been implemented in the history of public health and now we have seen why. The data is clear.
Lockdowns have caused an unprecedented level of economic damage that has far exceeded any event in modern history be it another pandemic or a financial crisis.”
