I hope that the silver lining in this disaster is a universal questioning of the government’s narrative on all points. I don’t see how people understand this and simultaneously believe this is a democracy, that’s why we fight wars, and that voting is the pathway to progress.

The current demographic divide in the state of mind you describe here is so glaring: Among the “wealthy (who) worked on computers and lived on delivered food, brought to them by . . .”the working poor. . .under the new caste system while the rich isolated themselves and became increasingly neurotic.” My aged cohorts are paranoid, isolationists, narcissistic, and amnesiac, with a jarring and unwavering air of certainty about all goings on, and talk in sound bites. The more educated the less identifiable sustaining principles, and more battening down the hatches. The poor and workers will chat all day about their lives and what’s dumb and not working, and seem to be doing what’s necessary to survive in the moment with some grit and humor.

Great article - it gives me confidence knowing this tipping point has occurred and now all MSM and governments are in damage control for what they have done. Interesting times ahead after a disturbing 3 years of global tyranny.
