ecosophia | Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 6

The semi-open posts I've hosted here on the Covid-19 narrative, the inadequately tested experimental drugs for it, and the whole cascading mess surrounding them have continued to field a gargantuan (and increasing) number of comments, so I'm opening another space for discussion. The rules are the same as before:

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.

3. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Just back from the grocery store with a short story to share.

When I was in the checkout line I handed back a pint of ice cream telling the checker I changed my mind. I initially wanted to buy the ice cream as I was feeling a bit low about the fever the world is running these days and how it may impact my loved ones. Normally I don't make food purchases to sooth emotions so I thought handing back the pint would be a good exercise in developing my will.

Anyway, as she is ringing up the rest of my groceries she pointed out I could to pick up another package of chicken breasts as they were Buy 1 Get 1 Free. Not one to pass up such a deal I went back to get my free chicken, picked up my groceries, and thanked the young ladies for their help.

After getting home while unpacking my groceries what do I see but the ice cream! There was no charge on the receipt either.

I take this as a message from the Universe. Everything will be okay, enjoy your ice cream. Which I am.

Nice! I got a bag of onions for a dollar because the cashier didn't want to have to look up the price (tag was missing) and the total came to $33.33 and she started gushing about how that was a lucky number so I'd have a great day.

I had an average day, but maybe these days it's all relative 😉

this happened to me too! For a moment there I was seeing 777, 666, 555, 444, 333 patterns in that decreasing order. No idea what it means

Countdown with a stutter?

I have noticed that a lot of lower paid wage workers seem to have cognitive decline and/or just don't care any more. Not sure if it has something to do with the vaccines.

Or maybe it's just a year and a half of being 'essential'. I've worked busing tables, in retail, as a delivery driver, on farms, and I've also worked in high tech positions. I can tell you from experience how much respect people get if they are hourly, and how politely they are treated by most other people. Maybe they are just tired.

Some of us have very repetitious or boring jobs. Also, if we're being forced to wear a mask while doing physical work and talking past the mask plus barriers plus loud background noise (such as cashier), we're probably not getting enough oxygen. I always have a headache and lightheadedness toward the end of my shift.

Chris in VT

oh no, she was just super awesome, not lazy. She called me over to the returns/lottery ticket counter where they don't have the big binder to look stuff up, because I only had a few items, and we'd been chatting and joking, so she just declaring it my lucky day with a wink. Since she was behind the glass like she was counting it out in Vegas and all ;-)

Enjoy!
