So the claim that kids get sick and die from it has been exposed as a lie, and the claim that people who have it but are asymptomatic are deadly carriers who will transmit it to and kill grandma has also been debunked, but yet this policy is clearly developed as if those two lies were entirely true. This is how you know it's now all bullshit tyranny.

Few societies in all of history were as sporting as America is. Whereas most of the rest of the world has soccer (the egalitarians' sport), America has developed into major spectator industries a sport for every season; football (the metaphor of war; conquering territory combining brute strength, complex strategy, and skillful grace), baseball (the thinking-man's sport of momentary bursts of energy) and basketball (a faster, more difficult, and more graceful derivative of soccer), and hockey (basketball's slippery and faster sister with sticks and fist fights). So not only is this an attempt to use a lie to disrupt education, condition the populace to lots of new little rules, increase the sense of the surreal and uncertainty, and suffocate the economy, it's a way of increasing revolutionary angst by preventing the customary discharges of energy.
It's a recipe for disaster. No wonder the Left is serving up in such massive quantities, and the typical Lefty is gobbling it down uncritically.
