In the thread “Mask mandates and lockdowns” you said “Won’t be long before they are back. Get ready for more misery and chaos.” None of it has happened and none of it is likely to happen unless there’s another pandemic, and even then we might approach it differently.
For 20 years or more I have seen dire warnings of one world totalitarian governments happening and the death of freedom in the west and it hasn’t happened. In 2007 (if I remember right) smoking bans indoors happened and it wasn’t some harbinger of totalitarianism. I doubt this will be, even if it is wrongheaded.
