Covid: Don’t Let Them Off The Hook

4 years ago, we were told we had “15 days to slow the spread.”
Covid’s "15 days" turned into years, and the loss of our freedoms increased. It’s important we don’t forget what happened.

Politicians destroyed jobs and increased costs.
They made bad things worse with arbitrary rules, and on top of that, government probably killed people with its endless red tape.
Let’s remember politicians’ incompetence and their insatiable wish to gain power over us. Let’s never give them power like that again.

To get unemployment you have to be constantly job hunting, but during the lunacy you couldn't go out and a lot of business weren't hiring because... well obviously. So you're disqualified from receiving unemployment. You were then required to sign up for a special program designed during the pandemic. In order to do so you would have to have access to an electronic device. If you lost your job, are homeless, and so poor you're having to steal food or eat from trash... then you definitely don't have easy access to a phone or internet since you cannot afford either.

My wife now since the jab suffers from shortness of breath, congestive heart failure, clot in one leg and three small masses in her breast. She is having surgery in two weeks.
