COVID-19: NYC SJW Cancer Edition

New York City seems to be the epicenter of the way overblown Novel Coronavirus Era.  As I've noted here before, the lethal combination of Social Justice Warrior ethos, faith in government, and imbecilic rulers has created a toxic stew.  How much will it take before you pay attention?

This is the NYC Health Commissioner.  Her focus is on Social Justice, Racism, and Inequality.  These are the real threats according to her, even in the face of ... The Novel Coronavirus.

From Sultan Knish:

"As the coronavirus bore down on New York City, Barbot and the Health Department were busy operationalizing social justice while remaining oblivious to the scientific realities of the pandemic. The department’s focus on health equity required it to discourage recent arrivals from Wuhan from going into self-quarantine or avoiding large public gatherings like the Lunar New Year celebrations.

“We are very clear: We wish New Yorkers a Happy Lunar New Year and we encourage people to spend time with their families and go about their celebration,” Barbot insisted.

------------------

A week later, Barbot appeared at a press event promoting Lunar New Year celebrations in Chinatown.

"As we gear up to celebrate the #LunarNewYear in NYC, I want to assure New Yorkers that there is no reason for anyone to change their holiday plans, avoid the subway, or certain parts of the city because of #coronavirus," she insisted."

Imagine if everybody's favorite Donald Trump had tweeted that out in late February.  What would the Corporate Press be talking about incessantly?  Why do you think you've never heard of this until I put it in front of you.

Here's how the NYC Health Commissioner ended her tweet storm: 

"As we confront this emerging outbreak, we need to separate facts from fear, and guard against stigma and panic," Commissioner Barbot signed off: warning that the real enemy was prejudice."

At some point, you will look at these people as the incompetent hacks they are.  The Herd will never stop listening and paying attention to them.  The Herd needs a Rancher.  You don't.

Professional English for the ESL/ENL Student: Real Estate - Series Intro

Business language has its own vocabulary or 'jargon'. For the ESL or ENL student looking to go into business and make money there are certain words and terms you need to use with confidence. If you are able to communicate with confidence, people will have confidence in YOU and you'll get ahead.

This introduction gives you a general overview. The goal is to have you not only learn pronunciations with the correct accent and inflection, but the terms and their meanings. The field of Real Estate goes through ups and downs, but it never goes away. If you're thinking of getting a license and going into the industry, my tutorial is a good place to start.

Wednesday April 15th: I S O L A T I O N

Good morning class. Today we welcome back our old friend Paul Joseph Watson. His presentation details the ludicrous and bafflingly asinine nature of much of humanity during this time.

Watson captures the hypocrisy, ignorance and monumentally insipid nature of the people we're supposed to 'listen to' and 'follow' during The Novel Coronavirus Era.

Note:

• There is profanity so please watch in isolation.
• The NHS he talks about is the British National Health Service. They have totally gov't run health care. 

Now that we've seen a few of his presentations:

1. Explain his technique for making these videos
2. Why do you think he's so popular?
3. Put your thoughts parallel to Watson's: Why are some people acting so strangely in isolation? Do people really need that much attention? Be honest and brave in your answer.

How long will the Coronavirus lockdowns last?

Tucker Carlson routinely tells too much truth.

He asks many good questions about the lockdowns in place.  Carlson carefully analyzes the recent pronouncements of our leaders, compares them with past pronouncements, then asks good questions about both.

He saves the really heavy artillery for the last 3 minutes.  He thinks the same way I do. In other words, he thinks and talks like a regular person.  I've had these conversations with my brother, and Carlson's points at the end about regular people and small business owners really hit home.

Pin the Blame Where it Belongs - CV19 Edition

There are people out there talking about how the Novel Coronavirus is a Hoax. I don't blame them for that opinion. As a matter of fact, I can totally understand why they buy into the hoax idea. Have you seen what the Corporate Media (the entity formerly known as the Mainstream Media) has been writing the past 10 weeks? I wouldn't believe the story either, and I'd think they were intentionally trying to fool me.

Does that sound strange to you?  It shouldn't.  This was on February 18th:

That headline isn't even a month old.  If the Novel Coronavirus fatality rate is so low, why are we causing untold damage by shutting down the American economy? The article doesn't say.  

Three weeks before that, we were told this, from the NY Times:

Are you clear now?  Because this was the first message: that masks 'do little to protect healthy people' yet the hoarding will cause a shortage of masks.  How can there be a shortage?  It's just a simple mask.  The largest economy in the history of the world can't come up with a way to quickly make simple masks?  The author never asks that question.

Did you know that masks are listed as a 'medical device' and need FDA approval to be produced?  You don't want to know the regulation that goes into that, and the red tape that has to be dealt with.

It isn't a quick process.  

Here we are now:

This is early April.  Now, 2 months after the fact, the CDC reverses itself and says masks are recommended, and wearing one is voluntary.  What?  In this time of a pandemic, a 2 month old, 180 degrees wrong decision is tolerated?  If you were given a medical directive that cost you or a loved one his life, would you trust the source that did it?  The Media and the CDC were telling you that CV19 wasn't a big deal, and masks were unnecessary.  They did this for weeks.  

There's more.

The Corporate Media can't help itself, so it has to find a way to say Orange Man Bad.  The focus of the ABC article above is that Trump isn't wearing a mask, and that's bad.  Because Orange Man Bad.  

The whole thing looks like a farce.  The Corporate Media is so disgusting, dangerous, and wrong that you can't blame people for pushing the "it's a hoax" line.  I don't blame them, and you shouldn't either.  Blame the Corporate Media, and then either ignore the Corporate Media, or spend time mocking them.  It's what I do here, and at work with High School students.

Below is the VLog from my Youtube channel on this topic:

Too Big to Fail - COVID-19 Edition

You got $1200.  Do you know what they get?  It's a lot more.

Already the rules are being rewritten so that the Private Equity Firms who fund the politicians will get a healthy cut of the free money.  Not only have they already capitalized by selling stock via inside information, but they are now getting rules re-configured so they can reap a sizable windfall.

"The reason is as simple as it is galling: while great private fortunes, such as that of Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman (net worth: $17.5 billion and Apollo’s Leon Black ($7.5 billion), have been made from private equity’s march through the world, its losses, to a remarkable degree, will belong to all of us. That’s because some of the major investors in private-equity funds are public pension plans; at Blackstone, roughly one-third of the firm’s money comes from retirement plans set up to provide for over 30 million working-class Americans, according to someone with knowledge of its portfolio. So if Blackstone’s investments crater, the teachers, firefighters, and health care workers who are counting on those investments to generate the returns necessary to pay their pensions will suffer. Think of private-equity firms as the banks of the corona crisis: They are, for better or worse, too big to fail."

its losses, to a remarkable degree, will belong to all of us.

its losses, to a remarkable degree, will belong to all of us.

its losses, to a remarkable degree, will belong to all of us.

One of the misconceptions that my students often have, as well as many adults, is that the people in their government are working to help.  In a few cases, that's possible.  However, it is more probable that they are trying to figure out how to feel the least amount of pain, or benefit from the crisis.

In other words, the people who are 'guiding' us through the Novel Coronavirus Era are going to capitalize on the crisis.  It is either a question of power or money, depending upon the person or department.  They've already made a killing via stock trades, why do you think that's changed?  When Obamacare was passed, I asked people on Facebook if Obamacare was so fantastic, why did Congress exempt itself?

No one cared.  Obama was one of  the good guys.  He was magic.

They're doing the same thing now.  When you and I get 35 cents on the dollar for our pension, don't say I didn't tell you so.

PFC William Santiago vs The Novel Coronavirus

In the movie "A Few Good Men" Lt. Kaffey backs Col. Jessup into a corner with impeccable and unassailable logic. We explore that here during our visit together via this VLOG during the Novel Coronavirus time.

If we can't get together, and have to 'social distance', then why can we ALL go to the grocery store where we ALL go to get supplies? As it is the only landing place for us, how is it viable that we're ALL traveling to the same place. Isn't that an epidemiological nightmare? How can those two things exist at the same time?
