Caught up in the Groundhog Day (election year, Hitler / Savior Trump, a scary new COVID variant, masks in hospitals, etc.), I pondered nostalgically a story from 2020 (in which I linked to Cuomo’s glamorous Instagram post from July 2020).
I sent it in August 2020 to my whole 15 subscribers at the time. How different is the world today? Well, today, the neighborhood bars are open, and instead of the food line going around the block, there is a line of dejected-looking asylum seekers around the same block. Plus some flimsy cardboard tents. And garbage. And a permanently positioned police car.
Other than that, we are still frogs in a pot of water that is being brought to boil. Our standards are lower—much lower—and the water is much warmer than four years ago. No?
A note to readers: If you are in the position to do so, I very much encourage you to become a paid subscriber or donate. I love you in any case, but it helps A LOT, and I am in a dire need to get more donations and paid subscribers while keeping my posts free. Thank you from my heart for your support!
I guessed that was a 1968 GTO Andy was waxing down.
It Was.

Where were we again, locking down nursing homes and seeding them with hospital-sick COVID patients?
No vitamin-D for anybody but Tony Fauci? No zinc, or HCQ, or ivermectin?
Ventilate at high pressure settings?
Got It!
Great picture lest we forget how completely unconcerned our betters were during the great Covid panic of 2020.

Meanwhile we were being subjected to threats of arrest, compromised healthcare, contact tracing, passports, poor elderly care, and detention at quarantine centers. As if that weren’t bad enough, job loss, loss of education, loss of military service, ridicule, hate, empty shelves, a shattered economy and a tripling of grocery bills.
Never Forget.
