"every restaurant on the island struggled to staff even when open at 50% capacity limits."
And nearly every restaurant now sh*ts on those of us who are unvaxxed AND who fought our idiot governor Wanda's destructive closures of restaurants tooth-and-nail.
WE patronized restaurants as soon as they reopened, WE double- and triple- tipped waitstaff because they went so long without paychecks, I paid the woman who cuts my hair for the two or three visits I couldn't go to because she was forced to close.
And now THEY demand that WE, those of us who fought our tyrannical dictator of an incompetent governor, Wanda Vazquez Garced, they demand that WE get the vaxx, or we are not welcome in their establishments.
Fuck. That. I don't take medical advice from burger joints, lechonetas, or hair salons.
I'm taking names (Buns Burger Shop, you're first on the list), and they can all rot in hell for all I care now. They will NEVER get even a plug nickel out of me ever again.
Speaking of Santaella, even the relatively-outdoor farmers market across the street at La Placita mandated masks early on. I used to walk there after a run around the lagoon, pick up some fresh fruit and yerba buena, help out the local farmers. No mas.
Before you go any further using remarks about things related to "The BAD War", you may want to read this book and educate yourself about the REAL history of it that you and everyone else that was hidden from us by the bolsheviks that actually won that war.
The BAD War - The Truth NEVER Taught About World War 2
Truth. This can be applied universally. Those that weren't afraid patronized and TIPPED AND TIPPED so these places could stay afloat while others were afraid of their own shadow, ordering in uber-eats. But now......they lock these same people out. The people that SAVED them.
Hi) My name is Brandon, I’m 78 years old) Geriatric SEX model) I love to be photographed in the NUDE if I have not pooped my pants.) Please rate my photos at 💩 htts://poopedMyPants.fjb
Thanks! I thought it was a young lady trying to optimize her vitamin D production. Are we supposed to show our nipples in our profile photo?? If so I’ll need update. Forgive me, I’m new to Substack.
Oh ‘she’(could be a bot for all we know) pops up on a couple of the substack folk’s pages that I follow every so often! We need the comic relief…it gets so heavy sometimes on these threads!😉🤪
You know that you can actually charge them for practicing medicine without a license? I have other fights on my plate right now (battling the testing requirement at my child's school) but next up is filing criminal complaints against anyone who blocks my entrance for not showing medical papers.
You can bring a list of the laws they're violating, and if they block your entrance call the police for harassment. Places that are open to the public are public accommodations and they can't keep you from entering for arbitrary reasons. The police won't do anything, but it puts you in the position of victim and it makes for a stronger case later when you take them to court. You might not even win in court, but if enough of us do this I think we can disrupt this nonsense. You can't have tyranny without enforcers, and almost none of these enforcers care so much about the mandates that they're willing to be dragged into court.
We have lots of new legal activists these days learning how to file criminal complaints without a lawyer. It can be done!
@Andrew the Great!, I hear you. I'm with you. But, that's not our first fight; that's the fight they'll point us at to deflect our power, to waste our truth. That's how they keep us weak, battling each other.
Our fight is the authoritarians. They are the evil ones. Once we've beaten them, we can turn to the Vichy, who by the way, will only claim to be following orders. You know, that old saw.
Middle of last year, I'm walking alone, all by myself, on a city street in Condado, no one anywhere near me, 100 yards away maybe the closest person. I'm walking back to the apartment from Walgreens, I'm not wearing a mask.
Cop car pulls over to the curb, calls for my attention. I look. There are FOUR COPS IN THE CAR, ostensibly four cops on the beat for mask scofflaws. I tried to have a civil conversation with them about the uselessness of masks (which *was* known back then). Made no difference. Didn't get ticketed, but put my mask on...until they turned the corner.
Crime here - especially violent and drug-related crime - is epidemic. And our idiot governor Wanda (at the time), or her police chief, thought it was a wise use of resources to stick FOUR COPS in a cruiser to harass single, solitary people walking around maskless.
It's tyranny, not stupidity. The criminals don't threaten their power. But those who are not taken in by their false promises and see through their grotesque lies? We are very dangerous to them.

If I had a billion dollars...sadly, I don't...I would start a program of seeding local businesses with guaranteed support for five years and the proviso that the business owner could only sell to another individual at the end of term. They would not be permitted by contract to sell to a conglomerate or even a private equity company. I see this as a way to undo the damage wrought by the pandemic and the attempted consolidation of the globalists.
It's a sad fact that American culture is defined by business chains (food, stores, malls, movie theaters), stupid television shows, and stupid movies. We've lost the local and regional magic of American life.
Oh how I miss my youth when traveling even 80 miles was like going to another country with unique stores and restaurants. It was so much fun to travel. Now there's little difference between towns and even many states are starting to "globalize" for lack of a better word. eF McDonalds, Walmart and all the rest of em.
“…’only by controlling covid can we give you your life back’ is the lie told to a brutalized circus bear on a tricycle that if he only rides a little better and obeys a bit more, he’ll one day be free…it’s how you die in a cage….”
I’ve said many times, my relatives in a former communist country readily accepted all of these mandates. So I think those countries never really escaped communism.
Those places never really change because the same type of brain drain continues for generations. See: all of Eastern Europe pouring into Germany and the UK (at least prior to The Rona) for better opportunities and money.
John Campbell did a video Monday about this very topic. But he showed that many of the former authoritarian countries have high rates of "vaccine hesitancy" based on distrust, and that fact explaining their high infection and hospitalization rates. One more example of truth v narrative? Wonder what effect age has on these stats?
Communism started long time ago. Remember the "no child get behind " ? This started the dumb down of America and consequently PR. A dumb down society is easy to control. I can see the whole picture now. Sad to see the island controled by the community media. The programation worked well in the island
This is precisely why they started sending the child tax credits out like paychecks. It is also the reason for not being afraid of inflation. Government checks of printed money can be earmarked to any inflation rate no matter how absurd while the private economy will constantly struggle to keep up.
Destroying industry, innovation and productivity all fit into the carbon reduction plan and translate to the reduced standard of living that they expect non-elites to accept.
Isn't it amazing how well all of these things work together so synergistically? Almost as if it isn't a coincidence.
Do I still have time to move to a free State? Pretty soon the free States will have to close their boarders because the riff-raff will come in and vote for more free stuff! It’s probably happening to Texas (they can’t even close their Southern boarder) and will happen to FL! TX CAN succeed from the Union...and they should!
And the "free" states aren't really much freer. The tyranny is just hidden a bit better and isn't on the news. And, in a lot of "free" states, they are only freer because the people said hell NO and told the Karens to go F themselves. Trust me, tyrants aren't just in the blue states. The executive order pens have been on fire in all of the states. Non compliance in every state is the only hope (imho).
I think you could have written this about many (most? all? I'm not sure I'd include Grenada) of the islands in the Eastern Caribbean. It's as if they delight in this locked-down state. It's pitiful. And maddening.
i think you'll find this correlation everywhere. the greater the dependence and the higher the taker to maker ratio, the more easily anyplace will slip into tyranny.
Have you see this meltdown by "Cristinita"? She's pissed off because Argentinians don't want to take the clot shot and that means she won't get those lucrative international loans.
And accepted as good. Is easier to hide like the ostrich than to confront the realitywe are living today. Easier to be fed (dependence) than to look for food (self sufficient).
collapse of complex civilizations - joseph tainter. this could have been written about ontario, canada. there is a mass exodus here. businesses are packing up and leaving. my husband would love to just john galt. it is a fine line right now...a tight rope.... do we stay bc we are positioned with self sufficiency for a great collapse or do we flee before we are locked in the cage. this very article is like a polaroid of this once great northern land. doing business here is a nightmare. all you do is feed the wolf.
One problem with SF and NYC people leaving to free states is that these specific people tend to be pro-government Covidians. They hate the free states and believe they can make them better by making them into CA and NY. They are connected to the “elite” the media and the far-left university system.
agree. Destroying conservative counties. I live in The Loudoun County the news has been blabbering about, the schools are just a little thing. ... the CRT is just a tiny silly corner of a mostly RED conservative county. Eastern Loudoun was destroyed about 12 years ago. The left moved in, not locals.
I hope and pray Youngkin can survive and help Virginia. The democrats and the left are evil. See what Oblamer has done?
Here shops are closing at 9. Good luck with any restaurants or hotels even. They just can't keep up, The left loves this.
People are waking up, slowly but they are waking up. But they are still people trying to leave NY, bringing their mentality. They don't want to live with shut, but carry it everywhere they go.
if you want the true mutant canary that shows you about all the nasty radiation in this coal mine, one need look no further than the university system and what happened to them when they all got hooked on federal money.
the sheer, mind bending idiocy to which they must now kowtow beggars belief and it just keeps swelling.
Every time I try sharing any of your articles or Alex Berenson's with my sisters, I get the same response: "but that doesn't happen here, fijate" UGH... the Dept of Health on the Island is just as bad if not worse than the CDC. Vax injuries are a myth according to her. SMH... I still believe that trusting your priest AND your doctor is in the majority of boricuas' DNA. You did nail it with your analysis. Mas claro no canta un gallo!! Can't wait to get updates on your 'visit' (not sure if you live there or just visiting). Have a great time!!

they imposed this stuff before they even had to.

"police handed out steep tickets for violations"

Communism just went into remission there, like the cancer it is.
I guess ultimately, communism gets into their brains and lives there permanently.
