From one of the Covid cultists' most obvious professional liars:
I find it curious that, in general, those who might describe themselves as being on the left or progressive tend to be avidly pro-lockdown. However, lockdowns are completely regressive in nature and should be an anathema to this group.
When it comes to policies which are vital to help uplift the poorest and most vulnerable in society, most would agree that these policies would include:
* Education
* Healthcare
* Joblessness
In all of these areas, lockdowns predictability have had a devastating impact, and that impact is disproportionately felt by the most vulnerable (i.e. it's regressive).
We know hundreds of thousands of jobs have been lost (if not millions), many of which won't return quickly.
Which jobs though? Again these job losses skew to the lower earners, not the well paid professionals, academics or civil servants.
Simply put, this means that the ranks of the poor and vulnerable will swell.
Liberal thy name is hypocrisy. What's new?
No one wants lockdowns per se, bro. You're tilting at windmills.
We know that uncontrolled spread is far more damaging to life, livelihood, and the nation itself than aggressive mitigation measures, which in the more extreme cases require lockdown.
But you know that - you just can't admit defeat or compromise because it would invalidate your full time LRC spam-posting job! Admit it, you'd be so so bored without this pandemic!

No offense, but they must have been pretty whacked out already to commit suicide because of a few weeks of lockdown. From a societal viewpoint, I think we are better off without people who can't handle what is going on. I mean, it's just not that traumatic to a normal person.
You mean the normal people who run small businesses, like clothing stores and bars?
You are an idiot. 100,000 businesses gone, and the shutdown wasn't traumatic?

It even a single person committed suicide as a result of the lockdowns, lockdowns murdered that person.

Yes, I mean normal people who run small businesses like clothing stores and bars. I mean all normal people, no matter what they do for a living. This isn't that traumatic, Nancy.
If you are thinking about offing yourself because of whatever shutdown you think is happening, there is help you can get. I encourage you to go find it. But I repeat - you were probably whacked out long before Covid, and from a societal (utilitarian) viewpoint, I think we are better off without people who can't handle what is going on. Survival of the marginally mentally fit. I can't see the counter-argument to that.

Unemployment is a pretty good predictor of suicide, and was at almost 15% as covid started.

Yelp data shows that 100% of the 233,000 COVID deaths are permanent.
The reason so many small businesses have shut down was because government did not protect them. The Federal government moved so much cash and liquidity to big corporations that the stock market actually recovered from the spring COVID crash even though the economy was in shambles. Lots of small businesses got shut out of PPE and had nowhere to go for relief from rent on buildings they weren't using and breaks on contractual commitments for overhead expenses. Instead, these businesses were fed to the wolves of the markets because doing so creates big opportunities for private equity post-pandemic.

I am deeply, deeply offended that you think I'm an idiot, 2 Cent. Nonetheless, my point remains, and it remains whether unemployment is a good predictor or a bad predictor of suicide, either one of which is irrelevant to what I was posting.
Allen, they can't refute you, so they try to smear you. Welcome to the Democratic Party of 2020.

Yes, that's true. Fortunately I'm immune to the criticisms. I'm self assured in who I am and who I am not. I am acutely aware or what is happening all around us and the massive suffering that is being placed upon societies for the benefit of a very few technocrats and psychopaths.
More people are understanding what has been happening and questioning the "official" narrative.
The mountain of lies that defines this pandemic fraud is an old story.

Yeah the Biden win and 200k COVID deaths. You have ramped up the mad-posting seriously in the last few days.
Take some deep breaths.
Granted it is a small segment of the population but suicides in the military have gone up significantly. The Army currently has about a 30% increase over 2019 which is very significant. These are not the days of non-stop deployments to a warzone. Not much has changed since 2019 except Covid. What else could cause such a drastic change? I'm sure there are yearly variations of a few percentage points and that is normal. But a 30% increase? Something had to change, and the big change of 2020 is Covid.
And note: this is a CNN article, a very liberal media outlet. This is not from some far-right group.
