As Biden doubles down on the bad (yet deliberately distracting) hand of what was hoped to be an optically humanitarian policy of vaccine mandates, the masses are getting restless as well as fired…Choice stuff. You can cut the censorship with a knife these days. These days of Orwellian propaganda and MSM utter [garbage].Solution?
Criminalize the non-consenting as anti-vaccine, anti-science or anti-American “flat-earthers” while denying open discussion on such otherwise relevant topics as basic math, constitutional law, calm science or individual rights…
Meanwhile, those who won’t tow [sic] Biden’s increasingly incoherent mandate (or Don Lemmon’s always coherent ignorance) are losing jobs and/or [being] forced to prioritize (in a Jeffersonian way) individual liberty over financial security.[1]
As an aside, to not a few people the proper spelling of "lose" has become one of the great mysteries of our time. It's a relatively recent phenomenon it seems to me but maybe it's just because skulking around the internet, as I do, exposes me to a great deal of writing that has not seen the eyeballs of any editor. Error correction is also the source of much whoa, it's true, but I'm not sure that explains the prevalence of this particular mistake.
Coming up on the outside is the difficult task of spelling "toe" as in "toe the line." Anyone who's ever seen a formation of troops must surely be able to guess that the phrase connotes obedience to authority, conformance to a standard and not towing anything. But no.[2]
There're the perennial stinkers of lie/lay, there/their/they're, criterion/criteria, phenomenon/phenomena, infer/imply, and the dreaded "there's" plus plural noun of your choice, the incorrect use of which words alerts me to the possibility that the conclusion that the writer or speaker has reached has been arrived at by a process involving but casual observation, little research, limited reflection, and intermittent attention to the rules of logic.
Get the small stuff wrong and I should trust your larger point? is my basic thought here.
