I have been away from the desk for some time now dealing with business issues, but it has given me the opportunity to draw some conclusions as I watched this pandemic go on.  There are some lessons to be learned. Just a few of my thoughts.

Panic buying.

Experienced preppers saw this coming, but it is a good object lesson. If so many people began panic buying in a relatively mild SHTF scenario, imagine their mental mindset if a extremely serious crisis occurred. The run on toilet paper is a classic example. Totally illogical. This virus had nothing to do with needing more toilet paper. But when talk of quarantine began immediately, people panic bought what they though they might need quantities of. And it is a snowball effect. Enough people panic bought to clear the shelves, and then other people assume they need to panic buy the same…

At the very least Barack Obama’s involvement in the Russiagate conspiracy needs thorough investigation. From David Harsanyl at news.yahoo.com:

Those sharing #Obamagate hashtags on Twitter would do best to avoid the hysterics we saw from Russian-collusion believers, but they have no reason to ignore the mounting evidence that suggests the Obama administration engaged in serious corruption.

Democrats and their allies, who like to pretend that President Obama’s only scandalous act was wearing a tan suit, are going spend the next few months gaslighting the public by focusing on the most feverish accusations against Obama. But the fact is that we already have more compelling evidence that the Obama administration engaged in misconduct than we ever did for opening the Russian-collusion investigation.

It is not conspiracy-mongering to note that the investigation into Trump was predicated on an opposition-research document filled with fabulism and, most likely, Russian disinformation. We know…

Cause – Michigan Governor oversteps constitutional authority, refuses to work with legislature, claims she will end the ‘State of Emergency’ when SHE says it’s over:

Unexpected (by liberals) conservative reaction – THOUSANDS of people swarm capitol, some of which are armed lawfully and disobeyed not a single state prohibition on guns in the  capitol:

              Armed Peaceful Protesters Exercising 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights lawfully in the Capitol Building

And the expected reaction from the Left …….

            “I’ve Just Pissed in My Pants….we MUST make sure they can’t have GUNS!!!”

Today is 7 May 2020.

As supply chain shocks continue to cause disruptions across our modern economy, many people are left wondering when all of this will go back to the way it was.

After months of trying to stay ahead of the curve, I have come to the saddening conclusion the instant just-in-time economy we knew six months ago is unlikely to return to its former state.

This is not some apocalyptic scenario from a movie.  The next few years will be more like my Grandparents and Great Grandparents lives than what we have known in the last 30 years.  I may finally understand why my Grandmother Nina would dry out and…

She is so confident that she’s warning us herself about the kind of ‘public servant’ she happens to be.

From Breitbart, here.   Do read the whole thing; it’s not long at all.  She’s commenting about former Vice President Joe Biden.

Key quotes, emphasis mine:

“He came and helped me a bit when I was running for governor. We’re cut from a similar cloth,” she said.

Heh….’a similar cloth’?  The cloth the embattled projected Democratic nominee is cut from?  The candidate dodging sexual assault claims/charges and calls to step down from members of his own party?  THAT cloth??

“He’s regularly checking in with me about what’s going on here in Michigan, and what do we need. I’ve gotten some counsel from him in terms of, you know, just trying to communicate to people what we’re confronting, the seriousness of it,” Whitmer said.

I’m thinking he wants a hug and…
