I know it won't happen, but I hope he breaks the bank at Twitter.

What a joke the whole covid hysteria has become.

Been feeling tired recently, so my doctor recommended I get a covid test, just to rule it out as a cause.

So I went to a local testing center to schedule one. They told me they couldn't even schedule it there. I had to go on their website and schedule an appointment with one of their doctors via zoom to see if I needed the test. And then they'd schedule the test from there. And the most recent zoom time? In three days.

So there I am, standing in a nearly empty waiting room, potentially carrying one of the most deadly diseases known to mankind requiring that we shutdown most of our economy (if you believe our idiot media) and I'm being told, nope, we ain't gonna test you. Just walk around outside for a few days until you can talk to a doctor on the phone.

And this is the system our "medical experts" have devised.

I've said for years that Brazil by Terry Gilliam is a far underappreciated model for western dystopia. Your story makes me repeat this. What Gilliam captured (as none of the more famous dystopias do) is the rank incompetence of the administrative state that is set up in an authoritarian system. They're not just evil, they are simultaneously evil and insufferably stupid and incompetent. Your story is a five-star example of this.

If I was on that civil jury he would win a shitload of money.
