So, my favorite cartoonist has drunk deeply from the well of fear and desperation which drives the excessive and extreme reactions to coronavirus. The dogma lives loudly in this one.
Obviousy Ramirez is critical of those who believe that much of the panic, restrictions, etc., are due to “media hype.” I don’t think that, despite the media coverage, the virus is not dangerous, but I do know that there are recent studies discrediting the models upon which the current restrictions are based. I would more prefer to see a Ramirez cartoon noting how quickly and easily we all have yielded our freedoms, been confined to homes, shut down schools and businesses, all on orders, possibly unconstitutional, from governors and mayors.
China’s thievery goes beyond movies and music. Virtually any product which they like will be stolen and sold to a “contractor” to produce. Too bad if you invent a great product (patented or not), and hope to make money from it. If the Chinese pick up on it, they will first offer you a pittance to buy it, and if you refuse, they will find someone else to sell it to.
Hawking once predicted that the earth would turn into a giant ball of fire by 2600 and humans would need to colonize another planet or face extinction. So…you believe that, Streetbeater, right?
