Getting some feedback on OD about my last two entries.
Yes, I don’t think the way a lot of people do. Understood. But I do aim for consistency, adherence to underlying principles.
Maybe my life would be easier if I played for “one of the two” political teams. Sorry, I can’t do that.
I only can do what ultimately makes me feel comfortable.
I also admit that I can make incorrect pronouncements; I’m willing to hear other arguments if they’re well thought-out.
Very little of what I’m seeing with what’s happening in DC today points to that, however.
The Machiavellian curiosity is just about how corrupt the folks in the “mainstream” are when it comes to exercising power.
Maybe it’d be better to ask directly, firmly, what do you think it’s always unacceptable for government to do?
The news cycle is moving so incredibly quickly. I know, I know, it’s dangerous that I get my news from multiple sources, Chuck Todd, but I am paying attention to what’s happening in New York because I’m supposed to go up there in October.
Their wonderful mayor was touting some new vaccine passport yesterday that’ll allow you entry to bars/restaurants/clubs/etc.. This afternoon/evening, there’s been a full backpeddle from some of his political allies.
Like the mayor of Boston. Hm. How’s that work, now?
We’re finished. You failed. Move on to something different.
Meanwhile, I’ll cross my fingers, and hope that there’s no issues with my trip to NYC in October. And DC this weekend.
