Killer tornadoes. Killer Heat Dome. Unprecedented Drought. Texas Freeze. Killer hurricanes. Floods. Record heat waves. The poles melting.
And, oh yeah, two years into a pandemic which shows no sign of abating.
Roll the credits. And the producer and director? Us. We’ve even written the script over the last several decades.
Even worse, we have a large segment of our population that is aiding the apocalypse. Anti-vaxxing/masking isn’t a fringe movement. Governors are competing to see who can cripple any sort of effective fight against the pandemic in the name of “freedom” — which actually means pandering to a base in the hopes of furthering their political careers. So far well over 200,000 unvaccinated people have paid the price for “freedom” with their lives. That’s just in the United States. With Omicron which spreads faster than previous versions, Christmas gatherings, and travel, that number will top half a million early next year. Our total number officially passed 800,000 with well over a thousand dying a day, pretty much unnoticed by most of us. The real number, given the juking of the stats, especially by places like Florida, is well over a million dead.
Those are facts.
