As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. So it's time for another open post. 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 plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. 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. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

i don't know where to even start about how unworkable this would be, unless somebody has secretly come up with some sort of green energy that can power a functional grid and replace all workers with robots. it's the "friends" economy writ large: nobody needs to work, we get to live in the big city and have interesting lives.
it's one of the dumbest ideas i've ever encountered. this is what the schwabian geniuses at the wef have planned for our star trek future.
not to mention that even though she owns nothing, she does mention riding "my bike." does she own nothing or not? can the wef not afford an editor?
however, there was a kernel of hope buried within:
"my biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city. those we lost on the way. those who decided that it became too much, all this technology. those who felt obsolete and useless when robots and ai took over big parts of our jobs. those who got upset with the political system and turned against it. they live different kind of lives outside of the city. some have formed little self-supplying communities. others just stayed in the empty and abandoned houses in small 19th century villages."
so maybe they don't plan to kill the dissenters after all. we just need to stay on the fringe and make our own way, avoiding the killbots that patrol gates' farmland that feeds the urban utopia, and we can scrabble some way to survive. there is a potential parallel economy.
somebody a while back said people that want to be free of "the system" tend to pick marginally productive, or inefficient under the current paradigm, lands to live in. with effort, these areas can provide for both sustenance and defense. think someplace like afghanistan. they outlasted the empire, albeit at great cost to both sides.
dunbar's number might be something to think about, a bunch of small communities that allow people to vote with their feet might support a web of sustainable communities. put them 400 miles from the cities and the electric cars will run out of juice, hence little interaction with the cult of progress.
my 2 cents on how to deal with the mess we find ourselves in.

not me. that white lady's response in the atlantic has me realizing they could be eating us for dinner by next thanksgiving if we back off and go for any okey dokes.
batten down the hatches after the elections, my brother!
