In society's race toward Obliviating Inanity, Colorado has eschewed the term 'sex offenders' for 'adults who commit sexual offenses', nosing ahead of the vacuous would-be neologizers who replaced 'homeless people' with 'persons experiencing homelessness'.

Lots of talk about QR code vaccine passports, but a monkey can read, alter, and reproduce a QR code.

If the QR Code data are not validated in real time, it's a farce of farces.

The CDC has admitted the vaccines don't work.

Okay, they didn't say that, but they did say herd immunity is not achievable, which conveys the same message.

After pretending to know something about the global supply chain during his speech in Baltimore, Joe then urged people to Buy American; a bit of a contradiction, either there’s a global economy or there isn’t – but I digress…

Inflation happens because there’s too much Monopoly money floating around and it loses its value (ref. R. Mugabe). The answer to inflation is to reduce the money supply; ideally, by giving it to someone who wants it.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky released a video claiming that 'Wearing a mask reduces your risk of COVID-19 infection by more than 80%'.

With such miraculous protection, why bother with a vaccine?

While begging Russia and Saudi Arabia to increase oil production, Joe is contemplating shutting down a pipeline from Canada to Michigan that carries twenty-three million barrels of oil per day.

Is this a response to the anti-oil lobby, an effort to trash the economy, or is to further enrich Bill Gates who owns the trains that carry Canadian oil to the coast?

People often introduce their posts with "I don't usually do this, but …"

As if their lack of experience doing 'this' makes their observations more qualified or more salient than those who do 'this' regularly.
