Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Woof

 I'm just going to quote Paul Campos:

Approximately 800,000 more Americans have died since February of 2020 than would have died over that time frame if age adjusted mortality rates had remained the same (age adjusted mortality almost always drops from year to year). That’s an average of 1,416 excess deaths per day, or basically three 9/11 terrorist attacks every week for 19 months. It’s also equivalent to the total number of murders committed in America over the course of the last half century.
