“ We are being told that we have to take “personal responsibility” for the health crisis – that it was time for the government to “get out of our lives”.

😂 libertarians..,,

The irony of that statement, having been written by someone who claimed to be a libertarian of the left.

Thank you Corona, for separating the wheat from the chaff.

Another thing is this:

“ Nineteen Eighty-Four – was one of those essential reading books as one ventured into adult life.”

Could easily be written this:

“ Atlas Shrugged – was one of those essential reading books as one ventured into adult life.”

Nobody should be reading any of that fiction crap…
