Are you tired of the lockdowns? I am and sure wish things would be back to normal. I guess the lockdown fatigue is really starting to hit and people are pushing back enough that Merkel had to shut down her plans.

Sort:  

The lockdowns have pretty much ended where I live, even on St Paddy's Day nobody was wearing a mask inside the bar or outside in the party area.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Well in California, some things have been able to returned back a little bit. But I can definitely see plenty of masks everywhere. People are less paranoid right now and its weird enough that I see people wearing masks when driving alone in a car.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah well perhaps the fact that no lockdown, more people, and an older population yet few deaths than NY had something to do with it. That state locked things down to the nth degree and still more people died.

How is that?

I wish I could explain that, I still think sunshine kills the virus and that's why we faired better, plus all the vitamin B from the sun.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The biggest problem was them sending sick people to nursing homes where the most vulnerable was. Did you expect to see reduced death rates when you endanger the those most at risk? All you got to do is look at Cuomo and Whitmore.

Worse than the blockages are the taxes that are running out of us little by little ... Every week the prices of food and hygiene utensils increase ... The fuels keep rising and every time I refuel I see a different price and still I’m not walking much on the street.

Tell me about it. Same thing over here; there's no lock down in my country anymore but things keep increasing and what get me worked up has a student is how to support my two retired parents which the government doesn't give there pensions. And this is happening because there no drive for personal improvement they want for the country.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Hm that sucks , where are you from if I may ask ?

This is happening here in India too , taking the pension has become such a big problem here for old age people , it really sucks .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Make money in crypto and then dont tell them about it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Lol , that's what I do or atleast trying to do ;p

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Keep building and growing and you will find success.

It is not brain surgery and the path is easy to follow. Just do it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Thank you :) Giving my best nowadays , haven't really wasted a minute , have been doing something or the other .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yea it definitely is unsustainable. The packages took half a year to pass in Congress so the payments are actually what people needed 6 months ago. I wish they understood what the people needed and get it to them faster rather than bickering or filling their own coffers.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The problem is that they really care about the population ... Unfortunately, we know that this is practically impossible.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

When they don't know to handle the situation , they just go for lockdowns , it has been proven that it won't work but the government doesn't care . They just want to show to others that they are doing something even if it is utter stupidity .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That is how Congress operates. It is always behind. What they dole out now was needed last year. What they start to talk about now is needed immediately.

Of course they have to play their games for the cameras to ensure they get the publicity they need.

None of this actually helps people.

That is why we need to take all the power we can from them. People who support either party are feeding it, screwing themselves.

The Biden voters are going to learn what a catastrophe they set up.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I think they already have. All those union workers lost their jobs. The kids are essentially in the cage facilities. Riots and protests have not stopped. Violence has not stopped. A bunch of people got removed from the stimulus checks and much more.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Well that is what I get for not watching the news.

Is that stuff evident to the average sheeple?

I cannot believe the mainstream news is out there touting what you just mentioned. The likes of CNN will do all they can to hide it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yea but I was surprised that CNN came out with the border crisis first out of the news networks. I guess they might start chasing the money.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah well after Trump's exit, ratings are for shit and few (other than the braindead) trust or believe them.

They are looked upon as a Biden/Democrat stooge.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Can't agree more . The diesel and petrol here has touched 1.5$/Lt . It used to be around 90 cents if you calculate in dollar terms and has almost went up by 60% . All the farmers are finding it very difficult to pay the fuel prices for their tractor and other machines .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That is what happens when you have every oil company in the world shutting down production because of a glut in oil. Couple that with the idea of closing pipelines and you get a shortage of oil.

Of course, few of the brainiacs in the general public understand that things such as food production and transportation depends upon oil for production.

Add that to the food shortage resulting from the global shutdown and we can see how some areas are going to enter famine.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

true that! i dont know if i can attribute the hardship in my country to covid but a lot has changed for many households since the pandemic. the cost of living is way above the roof and there is a lot of scared and depressed youths in the street uncertain about their future.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It is true, in many places things have gotten much worse. Unemployment, hunger and misery are one of the factors that have intensified because of the pandemic, but I hope that things can change for the better as soon as possible.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The tyranny across the world is pathetic. We need to stand up and rise against these politicians and bureaucrats.

What they are doing to people are criminal.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

What they are doing to people are criminal.

All the criminals have become politicians , that's the problem . Here so many journalists gets threat calls ( I am sure it is the same over there in US too ) that many fear to talk against them . I literally give 0 crap when dealing with government , last month I complained to the higher authority about lack of information regarding a particular document and I had to travel back and forth 13 times to get it . Once I complained , I got my document next day .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

In the US, the media is in bed with the agenda.

And I think you meant to say all politicians are criminals. There are many criminals out there who aren't politicians. LOL

We also have the problem with bureaucrats. These people are miserable, arrogant, and the system protects them.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

the media is in bed with the agenda.

Same here , all the major news channels are affiliated to one of the other major political party .

all politicians are criminals.

Oh yeah right , that's what I wanted to say .

We also have the problem with bureaucrats.

Here it is a 50/50 situation , certain bureaucrats are very good , honest and really want to work for the people and also they go face to face against the government but the other half are as you said arrogant .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Even if they are good, they are a hindrance. That is what happens with government, it is the most inefficient model there is.

Yet we have to put up with it for so many areas of our lives.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

That's true , that's why I always support grass-level democracy . Here we have something called as panchayat - it is village level democracy , we elect member among ourselves and since everyone knows everyone we hold them accountable if they don't do a good job for our village .

But this doesn't happen everywhere because of town administrators who actually have more powers than village head.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

And probably all politicians become criminals lol

It's funny, but it's tragic ...

There is so much bureaucracy to try to solve our problems that when it is something we need to do, the authorities do not even want to know about delays ...

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It is why we need to break away from the system. Keep developing and growing and the hell with them. Do not even invite them into the virtual world.

Cut them off at the knees to remove their power.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

You said everything and I will do it.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah I have seen a very few politicians who have remained honest and worked for the people and guess what most of those politicians are unmarried ;p

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I heard about a bill proposed in Canada about cutting the politicians salary to cut down deficit. That politician's bill got rejected by everyone else and last I saw, they were planning to kick him out.

If only these politicians took a cut to their paycheck like their citizens, then they might understand.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Oh this actually happened in India after the COVID 19 . In the first session itself they agreed to not take a months salary but we all knew this is a gimmick played by them to gain sympathy and nothing else .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

And the population will just see all of it and will not do anything in the next election ... they will forget everything.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

lol

Could it be that the problem lies with their wives for corruption?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yeah , they keep on earning for their family and next generation and seems like nothing is enough for them .

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

This is true, the worst is that many people are accommodated with the crumbs, it is that old saying of "bread and circus". I have no doubt that Brazil today is better known for its corruptions than for football, beach and samba as it was known abroad in the past ...

With the latest decisions by the Supreme Court I feel more disgusted in politics ... Next year we will have elections and I am even afraid to know the options.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

LOL Elections?

Look at what the United States just did. Does anyone in their right mind trust election results?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

It is true, they stole the elections there in the face and without any shame ... As we already know ... it is trying to do everything so that in the not too distant future we can manage not to depend on banks, governments and anyone else.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

well like the article stated a scheduled lockdown could cause a large gathering which is something the government does want as it would lead to a wide spread of the virus.
i don't know what the pandemic is like in other countries but here it's business as usual. the hysteria over covid has died down significantly. The government has already started vaccination in different parts of Nigeria. I know a few people who have gotten vaccinated. i am yet to get vaccinated i don't know if I would honesty.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

The problem isn't the reason but the fact that they are still insisting on lockdowns without actual proof that lockdowns have done anything compared to non-lockdown places. Also the reason why she decided to pull it back wasn't because of a large gathering but the heavy backlash she got after declaring another lockdown. They did not address people's economic situation and its definitely a problem if we still have to lockdown even after vaccinating.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Florida has more people, an older population and no lockdowns compared to New York which has more COVID deaths.

So there is an example of where the locked down area has more deaths.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Yea I agree. This is why Fauci's latest Senate hearing was so bad. He couldn't explain when asked about that data. All of it seems like a partisan hack implementing lock downs. If you can prove something and I think its reasonable, I will trust you and follow the directions. Whereas right now, there is no clear data so I don't know what to trust.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

i am yet to get vaccinated i don't know if I would honesty.

Screw that. No way I am going to trust Big Pharma with some RNA altering drug that was hardly tested.

People who are lining up for the vaccine, especially the young, are completely insane.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Some are more tyrannical than others. Isn't it amazing that the ones breaking the lockdown orders are the ones who scream for them the loudest: Merkel, Pelosi, the Mayor of Chicago.

Fucking hypocrites of the tallest order.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

They definitely are. I thought Fauci was hit pretty hard in the latest Senate testimony. He was pretty much bsing about not knowing because one the research documents used to validate the lockdowns had the National Institute of Health on it. I think everything is starting to crack and I wonder how long until nobody will listen to them.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I think everything is starting to crack and I wonder how long until nobody will listen to them.

As long as the mainstream media keep beating the drum, most will listen. They are so full of crap their eyes are brown.

It is no wonder people are starting to realize it is all bullshit.

No matter, keep sending out the money and hope the masses will stay calm. Unfortunately for them, a check wont cure what ails people now.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I think the problems are really becoming way more apparent. They were covering up the border crisis but apparently it has become so too big. I hope people understand that we need a 3rd party that actually cares about us because the existing politicians don't care about us.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

We know two party system is failed since they, in the end, are both the same.

Look at the border crisis as you mentioned. Biden is no different than Trump other than not building a wall. Of course, the Democrats are in favor of walls as Pelosi is building one around Washington to protect her psychopathic ass.

Politicians have one goal: to get re-elected. That is all.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

I almost feel like Congress would be better if we randomly picked citizens to be Congressman for certain temporary terms and got rid of voting altogether. At least it would be inline with reality and the donors would have problems influencing people.

Without a doubt and take the present lot out on a barge in the ocean and sink it.
