They got rid of 15 minute cities!

I think they were taking orders from SAGE. I spoke to a frontline A&E nurse recently as I had to have blood tests for a health scare. She told me she was trying to advise patients quietly to try ivermectin and zinc. Someone dropped her in it and she was given a written warning.

Healthcare professionals knew what was happening but what could they do?

On my visit she could see in my notes I was unvaccinated which is why she opened up to me.

She said because she refused the shot they took her all the way to a final employment tribunal just before backing down as the government advice changed.

I want to believe in Christian teaching of forgiveness but what I’m seeing is hard to forgive.

Forgiveness can be difficult to give, and it isn’t always deserved.

Which SAGE are you talking about?

wasn’t sure if you realized it was a “spoof”. I thought you did as the ending of the vid made that clear. but i found the article interesting anyway. like Wobegone days.

Yes, I did know it was a spoof but, a great idea nonetheless. Thanks again.

Sorry was a British thing, I think it was special advisory group on emergencies. Chris Whitty was one of the familiar faces, a loathsome accountant who just did death by PowerPoint for the whole rotten time.

Quacks if I ever saw one.

Indeed. And that’s exactly what lots of states and localities do want. If they’re spending $42 million, then they’re expecting tens of millions in revenue from speeding tickets, plus millions in savings from needing fewer staff to process speeding tickets, and fewer police to pull people over.

I used to live too near a busy intersection in a big city (with crazy drivers). The traffic camera was flashing constantly – I could see it at night. Every flash = cash for the city.

Revenue is important if they want to keep their lights on, I agree.

Hopefully there can be a silver lining to the cloud in that traffic conditions could be improved for everyone else.

Freeway traffic can be the worst, what would ordinarily be a 20 minute trip may take 2 or 3 hours during rush hour.

Cities used to be a lot different before there were cars.
