That's bleak as all hell.

I suppose their husbands don't want them to have jobs either...

From the Lawyers, Guns and Money blog, "COVID craziness September 8, 2021"

My wife works with children in a cancer hospital. It’s not unusual for parents to be unvaccinated, and be unmoved by the physician gently explaining the risk that presents to their child. The world can be very sad sometimes.

I'd say cite some stuff to back this, or "I haven't not will ever" believe what you're saying.

One of the things I think is too bad is when someone presents a view I agree with, because it has plenty of evidence (like how capitalism is totally self interested/self- sustaining and that the corporations do not have our best interests at heart) and then wraps that up with 6 more layers of conspiracy and paranoia that should be kept distant from the original thought to create this 7 layer burrito of unsubstantiated distrust.

now do "the phone" you're holding in your hand.

Honestly, if there were a global conspiracy to create a new world order, subjugating humanity to the will of some insidious cabal of despotic techno-oligarchs, it would have happened by now. The older I get, the more tired I get of the whole Joe Rogan/disinformation/illuminati bullshit. The idiosyncratic machinations of the modern world are far more mundane and boring than people think they are.

It's on YouTube, so it has to be true. Whatever. I'll just be happy if the Bruins make it to the finals this season.

Yeah, the more you go back through recent history, the more evident it becomes that peddling fear is not only easy, it’s profitable. Like I mentioned, its too bad, because there are shadowy terrible figures and organizations out there that should be recognized and dealt with, but I’ve been hearing this shit about the government coming for us all since the 90’s and guess what? Never happens.

It’s a cycle with the bogeyman replaced every 10ish years seems like.

Watch, we’ll find out that there really has been a conspiracy: that Biden aimed to eliminate Trump supporters by urging vaccination, knowing that this would only increase their resistance to it.
