Grocery shopping again. This time, not a single person is not wearing a mask. It’s pretty funny, but nobody is looking at me. I don’t stand out at all.
Month: April 2020
Stock up on bacon, and meats in general. Pork supply shortages inbound.
For those who don’t eat pork, beef and chicken products will be consumed in lieu of pork products by those who do.
Smithfield shutting U.S. pork plant indefinitely, warns of meat shortages during pandemic
Smithfield Foods, the world’s biggest pork processor, said on Sunday it will shut a U.S. plant indefinitely due to a rash of coronavirus cases among employees and warned the country was moving “perilously close to the edge” in supplies for grocers.
It’s easy once you stop trying to replicate the silly public school babysitting curriculum via some lame attempt at “homeschooling”, and instead allow your kids to learn through immersion and exploration as they would have had you never disrupted them with your fragile insecurities in the first place.
You didn’t teach them how to walk or talk. They did that by themselves.
Spontaneous order is not disorder. Embrace Anarchy.
Parents Are Not OK
This is really hard, writes Chloe I. Cooney. What’s amazing to me is how consistent this struggle is among every parent I talk to.

Fauci is a weasel
Fauci is a weasel.
February 29: “Should we be changing our habits, and if so, how? No, right now at this moment, there is no need to change anything that you’re doing on a day by day basis. Right now, the risk is still low.”
April 12:
Suggests he called for social distancing in February.
Also, February 28:
Fauci: “The overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%).”
Also, March 9:
Fauci: “If you are a healthy young person, there is no reason if you want to go on a cruise ship, go on a cruise ship.”

Weasel.
Weasel keeps on weaseling.
April 13: “Fauci added that Trump approved social distancing the first time he recommended it.”
Poor choice of words.
Sweden did not shut down their country. Their numbers are still within the ballpark of other European nations that did shut down. Sweden isn’t particularly suffering as a result of pursuing a less punitive approach.
In a free society, encouragement and recommendations are sufficient to change behavior. Compulsion is unnecessary.
Had Swedish authorities encouraged and recommended (no compulsion necessary) masks to be worn by everyone (they didn’t), their numbers would have been lower.
