  • A week off did nothing to temper Lewis’s anger or his sense that history has folded in on itself.
    Twenty years of US intervention in an Asian nation and it all ends in an ill-planned fleeing on overcrowded flights. Kabul in 2021 or Saigon in 1975, either way the images of departing Americans should forever dispel any further imperialist notions. Your host has himself visited Afghanistan, having performed there on two USO tours. From his observations from flying over the country, it was obvious from the haphazard nature of the terrain that the country could never be conquered. So here we are, unable to get our act together to defeat enemies foreign or domestic or viral, each attempt at a solution confounded by our own idiocy and delusional sense of self-worth. While the Taliban overwhelms the Afghan forces, COVID continues its resurgent march through the unvaccinated. America leadership seems to be defined by a hubristic inability or unwillingness to accurately assess any problem beyond what the personal political consequences might be. How else to explain certain governors stopping local schools from having mask mandates? These leaders look only to their own political advantage and criminally refuse to comprehend that their job is first and foremost to protect those who are unable to protect themselves. Instead they are willing to gamble the lives of children to make a nebulous virtue-signaling point about “freedom”. What about the freedom to not get COVID? The vaccination situation has become so ridiculous that some people in Missouri are wearing disguises when they go to get vaccinated. So, there’s freedom for those who won’t wear a mask or won’t get vaccinated, but not for those who choose to get vaccinated. But, it’s not all bad news on the vaccination front, some dominatrices are demanding that their submissives get vaccinated. Whatever it takes.
    From one end of the English-speaking world to the other, Lewis’ global reach persists as this week we have a Kiwi’s perspective of American politics likening it to the death rattle of a failed state, some fan appreciation from down under, and from north of the border, a discursive deconstruction of how Canadian politics isn’t so much better than American politics, they just do it in a quieter fashion. We have several perspectives on vaccination and the pandemic, and from Texas, a local’s view of Gov. Greg Abbott’s destructive antebellum governing strategy. Plus, what’s up with all the shopping cart traffic jams in the aisles of Sam’s Club?

What is a bit sad is I've traveled from state to state, city to city and have enjoyed my time as per usual for the past 18 or so months and haven't even had a sniffle. Neither have the overwhelming majority of my family members and friends that have done the same and those few that have caught this thing have beat it up. That includes a 68 year old woman with diabetes and not the greatest record of health. High school sporting events, buffets, in store shopping...the list goes on and on. You've hidden yourself from life. Why would you even get vaccinated? It doesn't sound like it's given you any peace of mind whatsoever. Nothing is "raging out of control" other than the fear mongering media and those that wish to control you. I understand people being cautious, I certainly HAVE NOT BEEN overly cautious but I don't blame those that are, I just don't understand people like you that have let this whole fiasco ruin your daily lives and pursuit of happiness.

Prior to this crap I was running lab samples & other items for my logistics company & was constantly stressed out & cursing traffic so badly even Lewis would probably be proud lol. The labs I began running at the start of this mess - already COVID-positive. Sometimes over 150 of them per run. They were being sent to other labs for further testing after the initial positive results. I had clearance for back halls the general public don’t have access to at major hospitals from Galveston to The Woodlands, including the Houston Medical Center - & I saw bodies, LOTS of them. All straight out of COVID quarantine & wi less than 3 feet of me. Not to mention the positive patients still being checked out in the ERs. So many I couldn’t wear my body cam all of a sudden per new Harris Health rules even though I’d been wearing it for months for personal security by that point. Plus I’m immuno-compromised on top of that. SO, anyway, just bc I’m only going out once a week or so doesn’t mean I’ve been idle - I’ve been taking multiple classes a day, getting my new place spruced up plus making & executing plans for a NEW business. And just last week I was informed, even w all my precautions, I was STILL exposed to that crap by an unvaccinated family member 🙄 Luckily tho - I’m vaxxed & I still mask - bc the absolute idiocy is at an all-time high down here 🤦‍♀️.

      So true, but the schools also have ridiculous requirements for children, specifically teenagers. If you are a bully, nothing happens, if you are being bullied and stick up for yourself, you get suspended or expelled. Girls are not allowed to wear a tank top because it disrupts the boys and their education. What about the girls, I don’t see them rushing to keep boys from harassing the girls. So I don’t believe the schools are doing any better.

    How about the Haitians? Haiti is the poorest nation in the world and now with all the devastation from the hurricanes, the US government is deporting Haitians back to Haiti! What the hell are they going back too? Why are the Haitians so discriminated against? US policies need to change with dealing with Haiti. If the US government can deport Afghanistans to America, then the US government can bring Haitians to America.

    Thanks for reading my email on the air. You are a truly kind soul, we are so much better for having your input.
    I spoke of herd immunity because my fear is the speed of mutation / adaptation of the virus.
    I am a veteran. I got the shots in the spring. I was speculating on the presumption that masking is effective. By that I meant to say the cloth masks are 20% effective while the M-95 is 95% effective in containing atomized spit. Rebreathing our own outgas is likely to induce some respiratory issues, but alive beats not. I thought a Norwegian country did the herd immunity thing. Not sure how it turned out. I guess the grisy metric would be total deaths per capita after correcting for general health of the populations. My guess is the only correlation of significance will be the initial condition: which population was healthy to start is likely to remain. The earth consumes unhealthy populations, individually or collectively. This is a shaking off of the unfit; firstly in the mind- if the shot sounds evil, you are short for this world. Then the severely compromised, then the necessitous those who must go into danger to put food on the table. This is going to shake out some of the greedy; it will be for the rest to demand the rich say greed did this. Fearing the rich will doom the planet.
