When they stick it in I bet socks moans through his cuck mask and says "Govern me harder daddy!"

True, though I doubt there will be many people who survive the second clot booster. The damage these things are doing appears to get worse with each successive shot, so I expect between 1% and 10% death rate on the first booster, and who knows how bad the second will be.

shortages of people to do work or replacing the competent with incompetent people is a feature, not a bug, of tyranny. Actual expertise and qualifications that mean anything in the real world are a potential problem to the tyrant.

I could see this being the case. I talked about a similar issue in this thread

I saw that. I don't think we use the words "liberal", "conservative", "progressive", Communist", "Left", or "right" in useful ways anymore. I think authoritarians have used idiots, placing them any where there is any power regardless of how minuscule from the presidency to the DMV, to frustrate people who are both not idiots and have integrity. I think the world is set to finally divide those who will bow down to obviously illegitimate authority and those who will not. If we think the circumstance is ugly now, it can only get worse if these people who rule over us have their way. The population number inscribed on the Georgia Guide Stones might be an overestimation.

I could see this. The mindset definitely feels this pervasive.

Do you think there's any way out?

They now have global surveillance, probably more extensive than I can realistically imagine. They have weapons I can't imagine. They control the culture, and those who resist it are so far off into the outskirts of any public conversations, and being pushed further and further, so that even if a clear majority is against it we have an uphill struggle. We have to organize and resist locally. We have to start growing as much of our own food as we can and protecting our water supply as best we can.

I think we are in for some global catastrophes. All the long-term geological cycles are over due: magnetic field reversal (which should include a period of no strong field), and Yosemite exploding are just two. There's a newly found volcanic/tectonic activity that is connecting Madagascar and the African rift valley. There are so many crazy things being discovered about both the structure of the earth and about space, that we literally knew next to nothing only 20 years ago. I think there is nothing we can do but hope who ever survives it all has prepared enough for those who survive around them. The people who rule over us are analogous to running a casino and I think the casino will collapse physically and we will have no use for their chips. I can only hope it collapses on them.

I also think there is strange similarity to what might happen to the earth just due to the catastrophic cycles we see and the various predictions and warnings coming from "Marian" apparitions. That is something I don't think I could have ever imagined thinking even 3 years ago. I do not understand that. "Quite a coincidence" can not be the right phrase, but I do not have a right phrase at all. We see from sites like Gobekli Tepe that we've survived collapses before. We know from stories like Atlantis and all that, that the assumption was we was bad boys and girls. Maybe the lengths of these catastrophic cycles are exactly long enough for the worst of the worst to kill and child-rape their way to the top everywhere.

The catastrophic cycles are pretty morbidly fascinating. Depending on which 'science' you believe, the imminent polar flip is a precursor to the reset of the 12,000 cycle, which has created some fairly dramatic conditions on earth during previous iterations.

Even mainstream science has begun to acknowledge past polar flips are associated with 'great extinctions'. We have some exciting times ahead of us, even if it were just the 'bust' of the boom/bust cycle to contend with.

If they are forcing shots on them they NEED to just walk out. Doesn't matter what the pay is.

When you have fired everybody you go out of business. Workers need to let corporations know.

Couple of points in the US. Hospital staff, particularly nurses:

Have quit because of terminal burnout / overwork

Have quit because of mask mandates

Have died because of Covid

Have had permanent injuries due to Covid, or are suffering from Long Covid symptoms and cannot work

Have left hospital nursing and went to work for a private practice or other less-stressful job.

All of this has led to the current shortage of nurses in the US. Now with fewer nurses to actually do the work, two things are happening:

  1. Hospitals cannot fill up to the capacity of the number of beds they have. They can only fill to a certain ratio of nurses to patients. There may be unused beds in a hospital, but they cannot have a patient in them because there is no one to take care of them.

  2. The remaining nurses are being worked harder and harder, leading to more burnout and more nurses leaving. This is a snowball effect that can only get worse as time goes on. The head of Alabama's medical system had a press conference last week and was in tears, saying "We don't know how much longer we can do this."

I've seen two postings for my area for nursing staff. They paid anywhere from $135 to $150 per hour, guaranteed at least 48 hours a week of work. No interview needed. You walk in, show them your credentials, get your paperwork filled out, and you get on the schedule. You are hired. They cannot fill all the available positions at $150 an hour.

Repeat: They cannot fill all the available positions at $150 an hour.

Wow. That is truly incredible.

"Collapsing Healthcare Systems", one muse have a working Healthcare Systems in order for it to "Collapse". America is right up there in #30 just below Costa Rica. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/best-healthcare-in-the-world

It's amazing how a relatively small number of deaths from Covid is likely ending living in a very modernized and generally tolerable world. Where things end up, we can only imagine but guessing between a utopia and a dystopia seems pretty clear which is more likely.
