another Covid Christmas

  The push to vax the kids is on! Yes, that's pretty much what I keep hearing about these days. The powers that be recruited Bird Bird to spread the message. I've heard of several bribes being offered, one hundred dollars, scholarships, and free tickets. If you allow the government to inject your child with this formulation that provides limited protection against a virus you, the parent or legal guardian, can be rewarded. We are being told not to be concerned, it's perfectly safe. Don't listen to the man behind the curtain, err the mask, it's perfectly safe. 
  Okay, maybe it is true, the vaccine is safe and effective, if only for a sort time, boosters will always be available. They may not always come with a reward or be free, but they will be available, dare I say required, before your children will be allowed to enter society. I can't help but point out the same "professionals" that insist this is necessary, and indeed the most prudent path to take, are also the ones that call abortion health care! Just one of the reasons for some of my skepticism. But I've written my thoughts and feelings about this numerous times. 
  I was prompted to write about this again after listening to a news story. The reporter was saying how there is a shortage of Santa's this year. The reason was the health concerns of older, shall we say rotund men, willing to play the part. So, the threat was, you may not get to have pictures taken with Santa this year! Yes, unless the children are all vaccinated Santa will just stay away! That was the message. So the latest bribe is withholding Santa Claus. That should get the little rascals jabbed! Once again I am hearing, it's for the children. The it's for our "seniors" has already been exhausted. The loss of your job, the loss of social contact, the mandatory showing of your "papers" for general services, even the record rise in inflation hasn't satisfied everyone. So now, no Santa Claus for you! The supply chain has already been severely effected, the elves can't deliver the goods. 
 This is our second covid Christmas. I don't recall hearing much about a Santa Claus shortage last year. I assume that was because we were mostly sheltering in place at that time. Black Friday wasn't quite as black but the goods were still being delivered anyway. Last year there were travel restrictions in place and many rules about social gatherings. Big brother was watching. One expert is saying covid will be effecting Christmas for at least another five years! What I found amusing was that expert was an "expert" guesser. That was about the extent of his qualifications. Might as well check the Old Farmers Almanac, just as accurate.
 Look I don't know any more than anyone else. But, I see patterns. We all see patterns, that is how we determine our actions, our next move so to speak. The pattern I have witnessed with these vaccines is the same as the ones used to pass other legislation. Take legalized gambling as an example. It doesn't matter if it is as simple as a scratch card or picking the numbers, the push to get that passed involved what? Promises that it is for the children, for the future generations to have a better life. The revenue these gamblers will provide will ensure all of that. After all, they are going to gamble anyway so why not tax that? It's for the children, for schools, for after school programs, for mentors and counselors. And now some states are allowing the sale of marijuana for recreational use, taxing that, because well, people are going to smoke it anyway. Colorado in particular even earmarked some of the tax money on the sale of pot to establish rehabilitation/recovery centers for drug abuse! Providing the product and the cure, pretty sweet set up. See the pattern? 
 The pattern is plain to see. The government creates the dependence and then provides the cure. The latest attempt at that was the issuing of stimulus checks. The government closed down business, put you out of work. Then they gave you a small stipend and many felt like they were getting something for nothing. Time to go back to work, ah, I like this staying home stuff, it's a lot more convenient. Many are not going back to work! No worries though, the government will provide by either direct payments or forgiveness of money owed on loans. You can stay in your home, the bank can't foreclose on you, not yet, not until the government reset takes place. But I'm just a conspiracy theorist. 
 Now it's true I've never been to college and studied world economics. Its true I have no experience in business. No BA or MBA. I do know one thing though, if you want to stay in business you have to create a desire for whatever product you are selling. The business of government is no different in that regard. For those politicians to stay in control, retain their power and influence, they have to create a need. So what product is the government selling? Dependence is the short answer. When the government controls your means of production, controls the flow of monies, gains control of the health and welfare of the population, they have created that need for their product. At that point they can dole out what they want, in the amount they want, and to whom they want. Merry Christmas. Or whatever holiday salutation the government "approves" for use these days. There is a list you know?
