Of course they tried to water it down with the insipid euphemism: "social distancing".

My initial gut feeling about what they were doing was: They were effectively running the economy off a cliff and that was going to hurt real bad. Far worse than what any virus was doing.

I also remember going to a grocery store in mar/April of 2020 and seeing this long line of people standing on hastily delineated marks made on the sidewalk, and my first though was: When have we EVER done anything like this in an effort to combat the spread of a pathogen? Where's the evidence, the experience that demonstrates this is effective? It was pure speculative nonsense...magical thinking, march-until-the-cargos-return.

I was born in Russia.

Although my mom claims it was my choice, she was sickly paranoid of the state, and went thru hell to get us out and honestly, I think you need to give more evidence because, honestly, having grown up in America, total torture and terror for decades, I wonder if she made the wrong decision¿

I mean, she wouldn't speak Russian to me, which makes it hard for me to contemplate a return , as does the same needlerape there as here.

But I am Listening to Russian and contemplating how to not be terrorized the rest of my life in San Francisco killafornia where I ran against Gavin. In 2007.

ScKamala put me in jail.

Communism?

Ain't that what they did to me?
