This.
There's a lot of media-indoctrinated idiots in our world. And this enabled them to believe they were the "good guys" who would aid in the fraud by any means necessary.
Once you accept that we're never going back to any "normal", for better or worse, things like this become easier to reject.
They're going to commission country music about getting a COVID shot?
If that's the best they got I think we'll be okay.
Ya know, a virus-killing nanobot actually sounds useful.
I just don't trust the people behind it.
This was my thought upon reading it as well.
Clothing isn't too bad, and even if you can't find something American-Made, you can find something that is made places other than China.
There's some things that are surprisingly easy to find American-Made items, such as dishware. Fiesta, Corning, Emerson creek, there's a ton. (Though...might want to be careful with Lenox these days. A lot of their newer stuff is Chinese made.)
The really hard one is Electronics.
Just in a different way than usual...
Well, since you bring it up, I got a book you might like..."The Storm Before the Calm". (No, not that storm.) It came out just before COVID-1984 hit.
The TLDR of the book is that it basically took the ideas from The Fourth Turning, applied them to our current situation, and made some predictions:
-
The deep state would make one last massive push to desperately hold onto power. He suspected Trump would be unseated, possibly to return or be replaced by someone even better in 2024.
-
There would be an absolutely massive cultural rebellion against the "expert class". The world post WW2 saw cultural changes to a near-worship of "experts", who, if we only just listened to them, would solve all of our problems. That meme started falling apart about 20 years ago, and is looking stupider by the day as more and more of our "experts" are flaming SJWs.
-
Some kind of massive change in the money system would occur in the near-future. Money and banking follows a different cycle than the cultural changes seen at the 80-100 year cultural cycle. Monetary policy cycles are roughly 50 years in length. To explain this, he described cycles where money was backed by gold and silver.
-
The banking cycle hitting at the same time as the cultural cycle would result in years of hell, possibly leading to a new golden age.
He basically predicted everything but the virus itself. Looking at this in hindsight, if he's right, we can't escape the "great reset", but there may be an impending cultural revolution that checks it and prevents it from destroying civilization itself.
In my line of work they were already transitioning to mostly work-from-home before the plague of stupid hit.
We have our share of buzzwords, but thankfully, nobody is bringing up the vaccine at all, with the exception of an occasional virtue-signaling idiot.
I had a couple times last year where I felt tired and a little "metallic", but since I was working from home long before COVID-1984 was a thing, I just kept going about my daily business and had my food delivered.
What amuses me now is that the asthma meds I've been taking probably make me nearly immune from the symptoms anyway.
The MSG gave me a chuckle.
Not that I'm particularly afraid of it. There's a reason mushrooms go good with meat. But it was one of those ingredients people used to panic over.
And I learned something today!
There is hope.
It may be small. But it is there.
I take it the Target never came back...
Guess it really is the oldest profession.
Exactly what kind of flies do they have in your area? 😳
Love the post, but I get the sad feeling it's probably a hack or something. LOL
Though my husband likes the stuff.
Yup. It's the same over at Etsy and ebay.
On one hand I can't blame them. A lot of the crap you find on Wish is absolute dirt cheap and relatively good quality for what you pay. In happier years I'd look for this stuff on purpose if the only alternative was expensive Chinese crap. People buy relatively nice stereo bluetooth speakers and resell 'em for like $20.
On the other hand, it gets a little old going through piles upon piles of products with lists of features like...let's say you're buying a teapot. 1. Made of ceramic 2. Has a handle 3. Has a spout and lid.
The sad part is I don't think it's the sellers that are Chinese. Often it's Americans reselling and/or dropshipping cheap crap they find on Wish and AliExpress.
He's been developing new stuff for a while. I got couch cushions from him a while back. (They turned out to be some square pillowcases intended for you to stuff MyPillows in, and the pillows were included!)
A good point. Amazon started as an online version of Barnes and Noble. Maybe if he kept it to home items to start.
I don't know if I'd call this a "necessity", but some small sellers only operate there.
Which is why more competition is a good thing. I hope Mike Lindell pulls it off.
They might try, but Lindell is a force unto himself. I see him to be far more likely to succeed at this than Gab. (Sorry, Gab.)
Small sellers only really use them because it's either them, ebay, or Etsy.
All of the above have mostly been taken over by people reselling cheap unbranded Chinese junk off AliExpress or Wish. (Which, in happier times, I would buy something off there to avoid buying expensive Chinese junk if it was the only other choice.) Sometimes this makes it very difficult to find something you want.
Personally, I'm ready for another player to enter this game.
I would hate to be anywhere near an intersection where they try to turn...
