Calling it "Freedumb Day" is so Orwellian. More like let's-infect-everyone day. This is like turning on all the street lights during the London Blitz. What the?

Yes :( this is like turning on all your lights at night during the London Blitz because you've grown weary of blackout curtains. What the?

Condolences that you must endure having the "Balsonaro of Britain" as your PM. Here in the colonies we fired the former idiot-in-chief over his failure to deal with this crisis.

Please get everyone in Australia vaccinated ASAFP, because covid keeps evolving in the direction of being a lot more contagious than previous versions. Something even worse than Delta may soon be knocking on your door. Past a certain point, mass vaccination is the only way out of the trap.

@36AccountsBlockedRIP Re "under totalitarian rule" << You should try living in Somalia. It should be a paradise. No taxes or regulations, hardly any government at all. A paradise, right?

@36AccountsBlockedRIP "It could have a lot of potential if there were a lot fewer Somalians" << Wrong. It's not the number or density of people that's the problem there, it's that free-range libertarianism is a completely batshit philosophy. Which Somalians are doing a fine job proving. When there's no government or very little government, regional warlords emerge to run areas like their own little fiefdoms. And when the regulatory burden (on businesses) is light to nonexistent, you get a lot of Hooker Chemical Company type businesses that produce Love Canal type disasters that they walk away from because it's cheaper than fixing the mess they made. Laissez-faire libertarianism, Somalia-style, makes Soviet-style communism look organized, long-lasting, and productive by comparison.

@36AccountsBlockedRIP Re "Did you really just take Somalia" << Yes. Look at the place. Hardly any taxes or regulations. Almost zero government interference in the rights of free people to manage their affairs. Guns everywhere. Ayn Rand would have gotten wet over how much of a Galt's Gulch that place should be. As we now know from the odious experience of having Trump take a turn in the big chair, at least 30% of the population is psycho, unstable, prone to violence, susceptible to the dumbest propaganda that wouldn't fool a cat, etc, and would behave very badly in the absence of laws. It's probably the same everywhere. I don't think the people of Somalia are much different from the people of Texas or Alabama in that regard.
