Fauci is living proof of Milton Friedman's dictum that "There is nothing on earth as permanent as a temporary government program."

These clowns are beyond awful.

Thanks for keeping this in front of the public, whether they listen or not.

Re: Musical groups like The Grateful Dead, we know that Covid led to them NOT being able to play concerts for two years ... So all the "Dead Heads" couldn't gather and groove with their fellow Heads. However, what we don't know is how many music groups might have "hit it big" if they had been allowed to keep touring in 2020-2021. Common sense tells us several groups might have been on the verge of a career and life-changing breakthrough ... which didn't happen.

I imagine several groups disbanded, quit practicing and never got back together once they were allowed to do the thing they love most (make and perform music). Or, if they did get back together, they didn't have the same momentum they'd had earlier or couldn't re-discover the groove they'd previously had.

The groups that had already made it big were fine and could start touring again after a 2-year sabbatical. I just wish more of these groups had more empathy for musicians who had not reached this point yet. I don't think any of them (except Van Morrison) blame "The Man" or the government or Anthony Fauci for damaging the careers of so many people. So much for the "rebel" rockers.
