Leadership lacking when we need it. FROM BOTH SIDES!
This vaccine mandate vs. anti-vaccine is turning into a flash point and its past time to get eyes on this one...debate is no longer a thing...we've sown the wind and now we reap the whirlwind.
The sad thing?
Both sides "leadership" used this as a political tool to try and "energize" their bases.
They failed to take into account the frayed nerves of the nation after dealing with this covid mess for almost two years.
We're coming up on the holiday season too. More time for more drama.
Karens on both sides yelling about wearing a mask or demanding the right NOT to wear a mask.
If this wasn't real life it would be funny.
Big cities. I don't know how you do them...

Black Rifle Coffees' tribute to Gold Star Mother's Day
Follow their Instagram Page here!

| This was the last image sent by SSG Ryan Knauss to his mother, two days before he was killed in action in Kabul alongside 12 fellow service members selflessly helping during the military's final days in Afghanistan. This image is a somber reminder of the heavy sacrifice so many families bear on their shoulders. Today, Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day, we remember that sacrifice. Use this day as a reminder in moving forward throughout the year — honor our gold star families however you can. Show them love, compassion, and offer them a steadfast presence if they want it. Show up. Do the best you can with what you have. To all our beloved gold star families out there, we love you and support you. May you find some measure of peace as we all move forward but never move on. Poem by @lesgingerables |

Protests in Paris over mandatory vaccinations & health passes.
This is not ending well. We followed the Chinese example at the start of this thing and govt's haven't looked back.Hundreds of demonstrators, including ‘Yellow Vests,’ are rallying on the streets of Paris to denounce the health pass and mandatory vaccination. An estimated 60,000 people have joined similar protests throughout France. pic.twitter.com/an8klCxkIO

The Chinese can do things in a controlled society that just won't fly in the free world.
Govt's need to re-think their approaches to this thing or we'll see a new round of leaders being dismissed because of Covid.
Because of covid and the economy we can expect to see govts lurch from left to right and back again.
We could be entering the most politically unstable period of our lifetimes during the next few years.
