don t believe it. check it out yourself on realtor.com. so, you know, the story, for decades the biggest employer in braddock was manufacturing. something called the edgar thompson steelworks. in fact, andrew carnegie. the plants closed, and there was unemployment and people left by the thousands. one man saw an opportunity in braddock, pennsylvania, not an opportunity for the town, but for himself. that man s name was john fetorman. he was 35 years old, never in his life had a real job. getterman was not from braddock. he spent his life going to business school, then to harvard for a so-called masters of public policy, which for the uninitiated is an utterly meaningless document that you pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get in order to tell people that you went to harvard. in fetterman s case, his dad paid for it, and paid for everything else. for a long stretch, deep into his 40s, his income came from his family. in other words, john fetterman was a classic trustfori
and probably most are, but at some level the people who run the democratic party weren t upset at all. they were thrilled. here was an issue for them to run in the midterm elections, an issue perfectly suited to a party that had nothing to talk about. are they going to brag about joe biden? i don t think so. it s abortion, they re going to take your abortions away. that was the democratic message for the midterm elections, coming up in just a few days, but there was a problem with the messaging. so covid had just ended, and people not being entirely stupid still remembered this very same democratic party, the same people, had forced the entire population to wear paper masks like children, and then to take the shot as a condition of going outside. so women have the right to control their own bodies? hmm. they used to tell us that. then they fired thousands of nurses for refusing to submit to an experimental vaccine. so the phrase my body my choice had been, as we say in the
the gdp fell by the biggest percentage since the great depression. 22 million americans also jobs in the first few months of the lockdown. remember that? you may not know that at least 5 million of them everyone back to work. they dropped out of the workforce for good. at the same time as fear people were working thanks to the lunacy the national debt rose by ten flame dollars. unprecedented ented along with , our debt to china also rose. at the level of our society every bad became more common. drug ods, suicide, suicide, illiteracy, crime it will skyrocket. every marker, marriages and birthrates dropped. you know what happened because you live here. none of that is even counting the deaths from the coronavirus itself. that s a topic that public health authorities have lied so consistently it will likely never know what the real number is. but we can be confident it was of thousands. every level covert crushed america. centuries-old tradition is to evaporate not a better one
and then to make the humiliation complete, police collected household pets, tore them from their owners hands, and beat them to death in the streets, claiming that dogs and cats somehow spread disease. anyone who complained about this at a very clear answer from the government, which was broadcast at full volume from drones circling overhead. they said control your soul s desire for freedom, so people did. they had no choice. that is what life is like in an authoritarian society. and not just in china. also in new zealand. less than a year ago, the left-wing new zealand government shutdown the entire country over a single covid case. don t talk to your neighbors, commended the prime minister, keep to your bubbles. in neighboring australia they did pretty much the same thing. police in australia beat a man for daring to have a cigarette outside his own apartment. that may all seem horrifying toc health authorities here loved it. they looked on in envy. unfortunately for tony
them knew that. both killers had told other people they planned to commit a mass shooting, and then they did. so what can we learn from this? the first and most obvious answer is that the system in place didn t work. his teacher sent them to a mental hospital for evaluation, they knew he was a threat. they tried their best, he committed a massacre anyway. so we know for a fact that what we are doing isn t working, but we should also be honest enough to acknowledge that it s very hard to know what to do instead. despite we may have heard, the problem isn t that we don t care enough. there s not a person in this country who is not horrified by the sight of murdered children, it s the worst thing, and everybody thinks that. the problem is that the human mind is much more complex and harder to control than we like to admit. a person who is intent on committing violence is very hard to stop under any circumstances. an act of congress isn t going to do it. neither will gun control.
