Don’t like it? Ban it!

As someone who sees the use of plastic cutlery at crowd events as a wonder of modern sanitation, I find Shiny Pony’s latest foray into another environmentalist minefield unsurprising. The philosophical course of his government seems focused on fully embracing the marvels of the dark ages.

The ban will be on single-use plastics including checkout bags, cutlery, food-service ware made from or containing plastic that is hard to recycle, ring carriers, stir sticks and straws, the  government said in a statement.

Famous last words

In the business world, anyone with this track record for prediction would be out on their ear. But in Sovietized medicine, the powers that be overlook these failures as though selective memory was the fast track to promotion.

the revisionist history around vaccines is getting pretty extreme. let’s be VERY clear:

  • yes, they were promised to stop spread, contagion, and provide herd immunity.
  • yes, those promises were made by the same “experts” currently claiming “vaccines were never supposed to stop spread, just reduce severity.”
  • yes, they were so committed to this that they literally changed the definition of “herd immunity” to EXCLUDE natural immunity.

To be fair though, the message is also being embraced by a population that finds sleepwalking disturbingly comforting.

I am literally gobsmacked by the lack of memory and discernment.

This level of credulity leaves me wondering how the entire country has not already lost its savings in some internet scam.

Lets Be Careful

eugyppius- PSA: Be Careful on Telegram
Assume that most large chat groups are infiltrated by security services and that everything you say there is being surveilled by the police.

For a few weeks, regime-friendly press outlets in Germany, like the Süddeutsche Zeitung, have been ringing the alarm about Telegram as a “lawless space” that poses a “danger to society.” Apparently it is a den of hate speech and incitement. This coordinated hyperventilation comes with demands that the new German government regulate Telegram as a social media application, which would require its administrators to report illegal content to authorities.

Good advice in general.

Pandemic of the vaccinated

As we have all been reminded ad nauseum, Vaxx passports were said to be critical to ending the pandemic. For some reason, these Spanish health care workers did not get that memo.

All of the professionals had been fully vaccinated—including with booster shots.

Sur reported on Monday that the health workers who attended the Christmas meal had all taken an antigen test before the meal.

Having been assured for months that Vaccine Apartheid would allow people (at least those outside the ranks of the unclean) to resume a normal life, maybe the clincher is for people to figure out a way to eat and drink without removing their mask:

“Although I know that those attending the celebration took measures, the virus is still there and you should not lower your guard,” Bueno said. “It is necessary to keep a distance, it is essential to use the mask indoors and it should be used in outdoor spaces where there is an agglomeration of people.”

Back to your basements, you ungrateful hedonists! Don’t make me come down there!

“What you have to do is take measures so that it does not happen again,” he said.

Then They Came For The Sprinkles

BBC- A bakery has had to stop producing its bestselling biscuit after officials found the treats were topped with illegal sprinkles.

Owner Rich Myers branded the decision “ridiculous” and said alternative sprinkles on the market were “rubbish”. He said he sourced the US-made cake toppers from a UK-based wholesaler, adding that other products on the market were not as good. “British sprinkles are rubbish,” he said. “They run and aren’t bake-stable. The colours aren’t vibrant and they just don’t look very good.”
