Most of the people who make it through the education system and get into the elite universities are able to do it because they’ve been willing to obey a lot of stupid orders for years and years – that’s the way I did it, for example… Some people go along with it because they figure, “Okay, I’ll do any stupid thing that asshole says because I want to get ahead”; others do it because they’ve just internalized the values – but after a while, those two things tend to get sort of blurred. But you do it, or else you’re out: you ask too many questions and you’re going to get in trouble. ~Noam Chomsky

New CDC Covid Guidelines

If these guidelines were recommended from the start of the pandemic there would have been no lockdowns, no social distancing, no masks, no mandatory vaccination requirements. Suicides and business closures would not have skyrocketed, the social development and learning of children would not have been markedly delayed, bailouts would not have been required so governments would have been plunged deeper into debt.
No responsibility, no accountability and in many cases, the perpetrators are still in the same job as before.
This is just wrong!
