Issuing letters

Post by Bmyers »

I find it interesting how so few people have any idea what is involved with a mass lock down/quarantine. They have started issuing travel letters for those deemed essential and the different ones are talking to me about what is this all about.

They have no concept that their activities are restricted and that this is just the start. This is going to be a shock to a lot of people.

I drove up to my cabin on Wed. With schools, restaurants, and some businesses closed traffic was very light even though it was the middle of the day. I came home during rush hour and traffic was heavier but still light for rush hour.

Gas stations were busy however and with the cheap gas I'll thinking of filling all my gas cans so there that.

Hopefully they don't shut down travel in my state completely. I would like to get up and open up the cabin and spend some time there. Don't see any harm in traveling from home to my cabin without stopping along the way.

I'm fully expecting a nationwide lock down. Call it a lock down, curfew or full martial law, I fully expect it to happen, in full, by the first of April. Possibly coinciding with April 1st on purpose. Expect an interruption of the internet, possibly for a period of 10 days. Expect that mass arrests, which have started already on a small scale, will intensify in earnest. Expect POTUS to activate the Emergency Broadcast System from AF1 to address the nation on what is happening.

The storm is upon us. This is something that has been building for several years, we have been warned about and is a very good thing for the country.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Friday. Had to go to P.O. to mail fake goods to the seller. *8:30 a.m. 100 people with shopping carts standing in line. 12:00 decided to go to a different store. Hogs do go home to eat. So lunchtime is good. Still have people in line with shopping carts. First call from a grasshopper relative (grasshopper and the ant) complaining that he did not want to spend 3-4 hours in line and did I have . . .. "NO", I lied. Let him spend 1/2 day. I am not his enabler.

Illinois is not the Nation. It's a Fascist state in the US...

47 other states really do have no idea because they don't need to. You, comrade, need to understand the Parties' orders and comply like a good member of the proletariat! May we see your papers?

Interesting to see how many other States have since enacted restrictions, maybe they needed to have an idea?

Well, they all will. The logic of if one does and one doesn't is sound. So they all do. Hear that anti-vaxxers?

The gov in my state just issued a "stay at home " order. No way to enforce it and no penalties. Let's see how well that works. And... I will be going up to my cabin this week. I have enough gas in my truck to get there and back without stopping.
