So, conservatives who hate socialism are, for the second time in ten years, embracing socialism. And Democrats are embracing economic nationalism, closed borders and military intervention in public affairs.

Almost like political labels like "conservative" and "liberal" are completely meaningless in a crisis.

In a crisis, either you love your country or you don't. You either care about your neighbor or you don't. You either recognize that it is a crisis, grab a hose or an axe or a fire extinguisher and get to work - or you do nothing and watch everything burn.

From what I've seen, I have the impression that those advocating "ride
it out" are younger people who are saying, "Finally! We have a way to
get rid of the Boomers!"

This is what many young people are hoping will happen in Japan.

We need to open our borders and our hearts to the third world. They will enrich us.

How do you know this? Did you read it somewhere, or do you live in
Japan?

I've always been told that, unlike America, Japanese youth honor the
wisdom and experience of their elders. Don't tell me that isn't
true!! Horrors!!

The Daily Mail had an article saying China was about to make a power grab. Huh?

** 05-Apr-2020 World View: Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again

The following is presented in honor of the Queen's speech today:



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMUuuaUGff0
Vera Lynn - We'll Meet Again


Below, the full transcript of the speech.
> "I am speaking to you at what I know is an
> increasingly challenging time.

> A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that
> has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and
> enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.

> I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line, as well as care
> workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly
> continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us
> all.

> I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do
> is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer
> to a return to more normal times.

> I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby
> helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the
> pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones.

> Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you
> that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.

> I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in
> how they responded to this challenge.

> And those who come after us will say the Britons of this
> generation were as strong as any.

> That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured
> resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country.

> The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our
> present and our future.

> The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud
> its care and essential workers will be remembered as an expression
> of our national spirit; and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn
> by children.

> Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen
> heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be
> it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on
> neighbours, or converting businesses to help the relief effort.

> And though self-isolating may at times be hard, many people of all
> faiths, and of none, are discovering that it presents an
> opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect, in prayer or
> meditation.

> It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped
> by my sister. We, as children, spoke from here at Windsor to
> children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for
> their own safety.

> Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation
> from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that
> it is the right thing to do.

> While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This
> time we join with all nations across the globe in a common
> endeavour, using the great advances of science and our instinctive
> compassion to heal.

> We will succeed – and that success will belong to every one of
> us. We should take comfort that while we may have more still to
> endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends
> again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.

> But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you
> all."

I try to avoid going full conspiratard, but vids like this make you go "hmmmm".
The Corona stats may be inflated, resulting in panicked decisions made by leaders.
Plenty of fake news pushed by media, and to what end?
