The smugness and assuredness with which you deliver these predictions is pretty on-brand for the kinds of marks who think they're in some special club, who are "in" on what "the media"(the part that disagrees with you) doesn't want you to see. The "reality on the ground" - as told by the right wing social media grift-o-sphere. Their track record is literally on par with a broken clock being right twice a day. Some empty shelves in some stores somewhere are not evidence that you are right about Biden's hidden communist agenda. Just like there is not about to be a walkout of major airline pilots. This particular incident just lines up with the anti-mandate media blitz in the circles you engross yourself in, and will be forgotten as soon as it doesn't pan out - just like virtually every other political bludgeon the fox news cinematic universe conjures forth.

FYI, the weather is about to get worse in Chicago as well: https://twitter.com/wqad/status/1448469294061342722 https://twitter.com/wqad/status/1448469294061342722. I heard similar things from Seattle, too. And you won't find anything about it in the "free" press. It's like that scene in "V for Vendetta" where V blows up a building and talking heads on TV are like "it was controlled demolition", and everyone knows it's fake.

  Childish, hyperbolic statements from a hardline ideologue. Like virtually everything the, er, "non free press"(?) clutches pearls over, this is going nowhere. You aren't in on something. You haven't seen beyond the veil. You're the mark.

    Could be worse: I could be watching CNN like you.

      It is easy to put right wing grift media consumers in a box. The outlets - OAN, Fox, Drudge, Breitbart, Newsmax. The pseudointellectual talking heads - Don Bongino, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Dave Rubin, Trump & his entourage of sycophants. They all align very well. It is not so easy to put those who disagree with the above in a box. I think there should be no corporate tax rate and as open borders as possible. Where do you think that puts me? Reason magazine, Vox, The Atlantic, maybe.

        Here's a litmus test for you: into which "boxes" would you put someone like Glenn Greenwald or Matt Taibbi? Of the outlets and people you mentioned I do listen to Carlson and Rubin from time to time - they are saying things I view as reasonable. I agree with nearly everything Greenwald and Taibbi have to say, even though they're liberals and I'm not. We're more alike than dissimilar. We have common enemy - the Uniparty. Except the Uniparty has somehow managed to brainwash the liberal intelligentsia into believing that it gives a slightest shit about them and that abundant gibs would issue if liberals just sustain its rotting carcass for another decade. Protip: you and I both aren't members of the club.
