This is very treasony. In a just society Johnson would be rotting in a prison cell. But he's not because he's posh.

We get threatened with prosecution for filling out a pip form wrong.

Fuckwads who refuse to mask are responsible for the decades of medical costs borne by families of CHILDREN with long COVID. Children who may be dealing with debilitating symptoms FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

If you are okay with that then you are fucked in the brain and deserve the day you have.

You can declare yourself against “universal public masking”, but that means I can declare you a dick.

Long COVID absolutely wrecked my shit because people just couldn’t see themselves considering the health of others. Knowing you’re comfortable with that tells me everything I need to know.

Someone said to me, "There's all these problem in the world, how can they be solved, it's impossible."

I told them, "Those 'problems' are all just symptoms of the only problem that we have."

"The richest have far too much money, and far too much power."

More of this sort of thing.
Give it all back.

Blast from the past:

This is the America's Cup catamaran "Stars and Stripes", skippered by Dennis Conner. My wife used to do the accounting for Dennis' business in San Diego, and he took us out for a ride after they defeated the Kiwis in 1988.

I can tell you it's a hell of a rush to be 35' up on a flying hull doing freeway speeds (50 knots) in a 25 knot wind!

Stars and Stripes cost $15 million, had carbon fiber hulls and kevlar sails.
