Well done. Though the all-too-brief mention of the panicdemic with the "15 days to flatten the curve" line greatly diminishes its significance.
That at least half of the population believed a virus with a 99.98% survival rate was dangerous enough to shut down the entire world for two years, lock ourselves in our homes (or worse, be involuntarily confined), deny our children an education, gleefully berate, condemn, and eventually disown strangers, neighbors, friends, and family for the crime of insufficiently embracing the ever changing rituals of compliance, and submission to absolute authority based upon baseless fear is unprecedented in our history.
According to Alex Jones (I know he is bit … controversial), back in October of 2021 he said the ruling class would need to start a major conflict/war at the end of February 2022 as COVID waned. The war would allow a new NEWS cycle to distract the greater populace from the elites true agenda.
I'm 65 and no single individuals caused more damage to our country than those two did in my lifetime. And actually, since they conspired with the WHO to bury the China lab leak theory (which is reality), their impact caused damage around the world. They also provided all of the fuel to allow all of the changes in voting laws in 2020 which gave the election to Biden. Also, since their lies were in contrast to Trump and other legit opinions from true scientists and physicians, it gave social media the cover to start censoring/banning dissent. In the end it allowed for, what I believe can safely be called a peaceful coup de tat. I wish he'd have used that logic instead of saying the election was rigged, as that can easily be misconstrued.
I'm looking forward to Jordan and Paul eviscerating him in congressional hearings after the midterms. Collins was even worse, but kept a lower profile. They're both bought and paid for by China and Pharma. It was clear in the first quarter of 2020 that they were evil propagandists.
And never forget, social media censored the early warnings that could have prevented lockdowns, and "health experts" never once talked about exercise, weight loss, diet, or yoga.
It was never about our health, it was about control and the biggest wealth transfer in history.
😡😡 For me this is what made me most angry and disappointed about the Covid hypocrisy. Still to this day no one is encouraging getting healthy and being fit.
Because that means admitting that you own the problem, and you alone can fix it, versus the Left's position that you're a victim and society should be responsible, It's such a toxic, yet effective way to get votes.
True. I don't know anyone who was able to obtain the "treatments" that were supposedly out there. We now have a governor who is making it possible to get booze to-go! That's her idea of prioritizing instead of repealing the bail laws? If we can't control 'em, we feed them alcohol. Next, it will be ok to drive while sipping your Moscow Mule.
I just spent 75 minutes in a mandatory training. Masks now optional. We (who started exercising our option) were informed by our Administrator, during a virtual meeting, that we needed to think about how other people were uncomfortable around us, now. We were supposed to have a bagels and coffee breakfast. But, the email and the virtual message both were to not eat together, but eat where you felt comfortable.
I skipped the unhealthy bagel and bought my own coffee, elsewhere. I spent 75 minutes of training at a table where no one spoke to me. The 2 women, directly across from me, sat with their backs to the table and never turned around. We were supposed to work with partners, 3-4 times in the training. I was at a table of 6 people and I worked alone. Ironically, our meeting was created by the Cultural Efficiency and Equity people and even relayed a story of a child that stayed quiet and didn't join groups out of fear of rejection. I didn't fear rejection. But, I sure didn't miss the irony and had to stifle a laugh, when that part was read aloud.
I suspect our Administrator is subtly pressuring/expecting his staff to stay masked and I think it is very intimidating to the students who are allowed to make that choice. I think they should just buy political tee shirts, instead. It would be more honest, at least.
"I sure didn't miss the irony and had to stifle a laugh, when that part was read aloud."
The joy of being a union chairman was that I could laugh out loud at those parts during the Mandatories we had to sit through, and I could protect from discipline anyone else who laughed or mocked the subject. Eventually, such Mandatories petered out. Win!
I get that "Equity" is part of the religious mantra, and SJWs spew it like verbal diarrhea. But what does it mean? And what the hell is "Cultural Efficiency" and why is it combined with "Equity"? And don't tell me I need to sit through a 75 minute training to find out. I want the Father Guido Sarducci version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO8x8eoU3L4
By the way, did any of you tell the Administrator that the maskies needed to think about how well-adjusted people are uncomfortable around them?
This was the 8th module, in 4 years. I have no idea how many more modules are ahead of us. I think it is like a new religion, that they plan to lecture on, indefinitely.....
I still wear a mask when in group of people I don't know, and consider myself quite well-adjusted. But I don't care if they are maskless; my choice, their choice.
I have never mentioned anyone's choices, to them, when I'm at work. I've been miserable wearing that thing all day for most of 2 school years. But, I've never said a word to anyone there. On the other hand, I listen to a lot of the opposite. Constant demands and reminders to pull them up, including nagging reminders and threats of disciplinary action over the P.A. system, and both badgering and yelling reminders, from the Teaching Assistants. They have given those things too much credit and are holding to them, very tightly. In our system, it is heavily politically motivated. It's not about health or choices, it's about which side is driving the policies, and the kids are caught in the middle.
Our mics and cameras, along with chat, are turned off, by Admin, during all virtual staff meetings and he's established a pattern of wanting people to speak, privately. But, I had my own carefully prepared input for if/when the Admin said anything to me in person. Although, this is the same man who decided to ban all teachers from the school office, last year, to protect the office staff from exposure. We were also met by a security guard, who looked more like a night club bouncer, when our department was called to return to in-person school. He was more interested in our school being the "best" at preventing anything from occurring, amongst other things....
OK. But you did not explain what "Cultural Efficiency and Equity" is supposed to mean or do or signal or whatever. I know it's not your job to educate me, and that I need to do better, but I was just wondering ...
I could be writing, all day, about all their bits and pieces. It seems to be a combination of having good manners, doing things people already do, seeing racism in things like 2 teachers giving the same student a different grade in their different subjects, trying to please everyone and turning the school calendar into a pretzel that required it's own training to understand, and a lot of buzz words. I'm sure I left a few things out. But, I'm not "proficient" yet...
I am very fortunate. I get to come home and vent to 2 of my sons, lol. We're all on the same page, with this stuff. Thank goodness. We just finished our 8th "module", in 4 years. I'd sure like to know when I am deemed "proficient" enough. I don't buy into any of it. I grew up in one of the most diverse families that I know of and I am so sick of they virtue signaling and hyperfocus on surface things that make no positive impact. I see all the real problems that aren't being addressed and are getting worse.

Never forget. Never let it happen again.
Never forget! Especially on election days.
How many days has it been since a Fauci media sighting? I don't miss that little toad one bit.

Alex is a nutcase (I've really only heard him on Rogan), but he's certainly not always wrong. He didn't deserve to be canceled.
I agree 100%. He’s king of the tin-foil-hat club but it is scary how he gets major aspects of stories correct months to years early.
Needs to be prosecuted

More than anything, it was about getting Trump out of office.
Agree.
And we're just now seeing the implications of our climate change policies, which are, more or less, as based in science as our COVID policies were.
The parallels are unmistakable. COVID took the global warming playbook and superimposed it with absolute state authority.
I take COVID as a dry run for what the elites, commanded by the WEF, can do to the plebes before they push back.
I’m convinced, now more than ever, we will be eating insects for protein instead of chicken or beef.
They will still serve lobster and filet mignon at Davos.

Thank you Nicole. This sums up our situation nicely.
Thank you. Much appreciated.

"Cultural Efficiency and Equity"

Correct analogy. There is no other. You’re probably a heretic.
I guess I'm doomed, then. Glad I wasn't drinking coffee, when I read your comment.

LOL about your last sentence. It would get you two squares on a wokeness Bingo card.
I could be writing, all day, about all their bits and pieces. It seems to be a combination of having good manners, doing things people already do, seeing racism in things like 2 teachers giving the same student a different grade in their different subjects, trying to please everyone and turning the school calendar into a pretzel that required it's own training to understand, and a lot of buzz words. I'm sure I left a few things out. But, I'm not "proficient" yet...
"seeing racism in things like 2 teachers giving the same student a different grade in their different subjects"
Happened to me all the time. I had no idea i was being racially oppressed! The things you learn as you get older.
Yep. Me, too. Go figure.
That's not training it's conditioning, never mind the Orwellian connotations of "Cultural Efficiency and Equity". Is humanity doomed?
Congratulations on your perception and resistance though. You either laugh at the absurdity or cry. I cry for those who take this shit seriously.
Welcome to the Den of Inequity.
Ooh nice!

you raised your sons well!
I did my best. Thank you, so much! I raised my guys to think for themselves. They're also darned funny.
Nicole, can I ask what level you teach? (elementary, high school, university, etc.)
Submit to untested medicines
I'm still reeling.
It is strange. Big pharma? They want to limit the number not vaccinated to try and cover up adverse long term effects?
