If your job can be performed from home, can’t it also be outsourced?

Employment that doesn’t require you to be physically present means that it could be completed from anywhere in the world, by anyone in the world. And how much of it can be automated? As the public is browbeaten into silence over the ethical and scientific wisdom of COVID lockdown policy, it also silences criticism from an economics standpoint. This criticism must be taken into account, but the people for whom staying home is an option refuse to listen. The people that don’t have the luxury of staying at home, who exist somewhere on the bottom half of the economic ladder, are never allowed to voice an opinion about their predicament, even though they are bearing the full-bore brunt of the chaotic lockdowns. These tens of millions have so far been silent, and will continue to be the ones dying on the beach of this economic war.

The question, though, is how much abuse can 50 million of the most vulnerable people of a nation endure before they take the whip away?

Wisdom from Hayek

From page 66 of volume 3 of his masterpiece trilogy, Law, Legislation, and Liberty:

“But the near-universal acceptance of a belief does not prove that it is valid or even meaningful any more than the general belief in witches or ghosts proved the validity of these concepts. What we have to deal with in the case of ‘social justice’ is simply a quasi-religious superstition of the kind which we should respectfully leave in peace so long as it merely makes those happy who hold it, but which we must fight when it becomes the pretext of coercing other men. And the prevailing belief in ‘social justice’ is at present probably the gravest threat to most other values of a free civilization.

…there can be no doubt that moral and religious beliefs can destroy a civilization and that, where such doctrines prevail, not only the most cherished beliefs but also the most revered moral leaders, sometimes saintly figures whose unselfishness is beyond question, may become grave dangers to the values which the same people regard as unshakeable. Against this threat we can protect ourselves only by subjecting even our dearest dreams of a better world to ruthless rational dissection.”

 

The self-inflicted apocalypse and libertarian doomsdayism

The funny thing about what is happening right now in the West: a self-inflicted economic collapse, widespread social unrest, the sudden rise of an unbelievable American authoritarianism, et cetera, is that many libertarians over the past 30 to 40 years have made their name peddling various impending apocalypse scenarios on par with what is happening now. The 80s and 90s saw many libertarians warning of social collapse, urging listeners to stockpile gold and guns, and await the end of the world. What is so surreal about our present state is that it tops anything even the most hyperbolic of the Doomsdayers have said.

These people promoted visions of chip implants, the “mark of the Beast”, FEMA camps, “martial law”, and other totalitarian nightmares.

But the predictions of those libertarians never came to pass. Instead, the apocalypse arrived in a very different manner.  Fear, fanned by corporate news, government, and regulatory agencies, mutated into a deadly social contagion, and spread wildly through the population. Rather than reacting sanely and responsibly, State and local bureaucrats made emotional decisions regarding COVID-19, and taking the most reckless and dangerous actions imaginable.

What is so strange is that we have approached very close to the libertarian-envisioned apocalypse, but it’s genesis was almost purely psychological. We’ve lived through, and are still living through, a mass psychological event, a collective madness.

If anything, the great COVID hysteria of 2020 should make us understand how easily the modern world can unravel, based on the psychological state of the masses alone.

Tens of thousands protest COVID authoritarianism in Berlin

Check out that picture in this article from Politico. 17,000 maskless, freedom-loving Germans reject the stampede towards a totalitarian “New Normal”, demand a return to normal Normal. The rally was titled “The end of the pandemic—Day of Freedom”. The German Political Class, desperately trying to maintain their grasp on the Official Narrative currently collapsing into dust in their hands, ironically branded some of the protestors as “neo-Nazis”.

 

My prediction for how COVID vaccination will be carried out

RNA vaccines are notoriously dangerous and ineffective. Injuries abound. The manufacturers know this. So does Fauci and many others. They are plowing ahead full-speed regardless of that fact, however. Which means they know that many will be injured by a vaccine that will have no effect on COVID immunity. Every institution that has a financial interest in the new COVID vaccines have a vested interest in somehow masking the side-effects, or delaying the public realization that they are causing side-effects until they get paid.

So this is how I believe that COVID vaccination will be carried out: It will be made mandatory, and we will all receive it at the same time. There will be a window of two or three days where many thousands of COVID injectors will spread out throughout the country, armed with their millions of doses of the vaccine. We’ll take it, and within a week, thousands of injuries will be reported. By then it won’t matter: Pharma and every other white-collar thug will have received their payout.

When the vaccine begins paralyzing or causing brain damage in children, we will hear: “We couldn’t have known!” They’ll wash their hands of it. Soon after we won’t hear anything else about injuries or deaths, in the same way that images of flag-draped coffins stopped being aired on corporate news stations.

There will be many voices speaking for the injured though. But Pharma’s thugs have ready-made retorts: “It’s psychosomatic!” That was the go-to retort once Gardasil injuries began paralyzing and killing girls around the world.

We’ll later hear that the vaccination program was necessary, that the sacrifices were necessary.

For their scam to be successful, we have to all receive it at once. If New York’s citizens receive it first, and begin reporting horrific side effects, the jig will be up. Pharma will lose out on riches.  This is just my personal prediction.

The COVID vaccine will be the final Kool-Aid of the Doomsday cultists. After the “pulse”-style, all-at-once delivery, the collective head of the entire nation will clear, and there will finally be an accounting of all that has been sacrificed at the altar of hysteria.

Half of COVID deaths are occurring in nursing homes, and yet this. There’s something seriously wrong with this person: Michigan gov. Whitmer vetoes bill that would have prevented nursing homes from accepting COVID-positive patients

Has Sweden achieved COVID herd immunity? Sweden never implemented lockdowns, and now its COVID cases are plummeting. Americans have heard more about Sweden during the past few months than they ever will again in their lives. The Nordic countries, who refused to succumb to the hysteria, have almost become an Axis of Evil in the eyes of Pharma and the COVID cultists. Sweden understands that COVID-19 is its own vaccine. Nothing out of a lab will achieve anything close to the immunity that a natural infection will.

This type of nauseating melodrama is the norm for unions: Iowa teachers write and send their own obituaries to Governor ahead of fall reopenings. If they don’t want to work, they should be replaced by people who do. There are multitudes who would rush in to take these jobs. The schools should fire the hypochondriacs and hire mentally balanced professionals. Of course, these teachers aren’t actually afraid of falling ill. This is a grift, cooked up by union thugs to continue draining taxpayers for what amounts to welfare.

The hero we needed, but probably not the one we deserved: Tulsi Gabbard passes amendment to military budget that forces President to collect and publicly report impact of US sanctions She wants to know how many children are dying as a direct result of US sanctions worldwide.

The elite are desperately trying to keep the Official Narrative from unraveling. Which means we’ll be seeing many more articles like this: You must not ‘do your own research’ when it comes to science. Hey, I agree. I listen to scientists. So really the problem boils down to which scientists to listen to. But if you aren’t a scientist, then by the logic of this article, you don’t even have the ability to decide which ones to listen to, regardless of the side of debate they’re on. Of course, the true intent is “You must listen only to scientists that I pick!” Meaning, the establishment. Meaning also, the scientists chosen by Forbes’ advertisers. And Forbes’ advertisers are the same ones that fill the coffers of every other corporate news outlet.

Facts, news, history, and common sense, are not the exclusive purview of the Credentialed Class. We don’t need a PhD or a medical degree to understand that COVID poses very little risk to the vast majority of us, or that a COVID RNA vaccine could be incredibly dangerous to millions. Orders of magnitude more dangerous that a wild COVID infection.
