The 'Stomp Reflex': When governments abuse emergency powers
History shows that during times of crisis, politicians tend to reach for more power. It's happening again now, argues researcher Luke Kemp.www.bbc.com
In a few short years they’ll all be up here anyway and there’ll be plenty of room to set up down there after Demcult decides to annex it. They you can go where you want...but in the same boat.We're moving to Mexico.
I wrote to the White House:
Dear Mr. President:
I'm planning to move to Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
I'm planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I'll need your help to make a few arrangements.
I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, the Mexican President, that I'm on my way down?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care .
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking
(bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services and be able to vote.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put US. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say a critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Gov't pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico .
I am sure that the Mexican President won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help.
YOU ARE THE MAN!
Yeah, unfortunately it could be. Businesses are under the same pressures to “protect employees and customers” by requiring vax card presentation as they were by requiring masks. B.S. in my book but very well could become reality.Ok, tonight I heard it from a second driver. This is 2 times now that my drivers have heard shop talk at different shippers about showing a vaccination card soon.
I have not received any emails from my customers stating it will be a requirement to enter their facilities.
But seems like it might be a future problem to deal with. I have some drivers that refuse to get the shot. So with their personal decisions, it gives me a great potential issue !
I don't know if it's the "new" norm, I certainly hope that it is just the "temporary" norm.Is this going to be the new norm, is our country becoming a place we do not have an opinion?![]()
You should never be punished for telling the truth!Is this going to be the new norm, is our country becoming a place we do not have an opinion?![]()
