An Irish Goodbye


 


Do you know what an Irish Goodbye is? I used to specailize in that back in the day. You see it is where you just leave and don't come back. You don't make a big deal about it. You don't make a speech and flounce off hoping that someone will argue with you and ask you to stay. You just leave without a word. I did that in tons of places I used to freguent. I might be a regular in a joint for years and then one thing or another would happen and I would leave and never come back. Sometimes the bartenders or the owners would call and try to track me down. You see I spent a lot of money there or brought people all the time and they didn't want to lose the money. But when I had enough well I had enough.

Instapundit has an article about "Irish Democracy." It seems that a lot of young people on the Upper East Side and Williamsburg have had enough of this shelter in place bullshit. If you are not sheltering at a nursing home it is unlikely you are going to die. So they are ignoring the Mayor and the Governor. Not making speeches. Not protesting or going to court. Just not paying attention. Of course now that this has been publicized the tyrants have to react. They are going to send the NYPD goon squads to make arrests or the code enforcement people in to shut down businesses. Killing business more than they already have.  This is where the rubber hits the road. If enough people refuse to comply than they have a big problem. If you check  out the video on Instapundits  site you can see footage of Coney Island. I know they say they are going to shut it down but I don't see how they are going to do it. Unless they build a wall.

Yes that's  right. The numbnut commies in NYC who hated Trump building a wall to keep out illegal disease carrying immigrants are going to build a wall to keep people away from the beach.

Interesting times.

I thought an Irish good-bye was when one left a party without taking leave of the host.

People will quickly realize the govt. can't enforce these fascist laws.

As people get less scared and more bored they're going out more and more. The twenty-somethings with kids never were scared.

I'm feeling better about it as far as the Rt dropping.

"These are up-to-date values for Rt, a key measure of how fast the virus is growing. It’s the average number of people who become infected by an infectious person. If Rt is above 1.0, the virus will spread quickly. When Rt is below 1.0, the virus will stop spreading."

We are more likely to die from elective surgery. If you're under 50, you're more likely to die from a lightning strike.

50,000 on the CA beaches every weekend. Thousands on the VA beaches where Governor Blackface thinks he can't be challenged. He's already lost 78 counties and is in the process of losing the remaining 9.

Nothing to do with scared or bored. Most people (except Lefties) knew it was a farce from the beginning, but nobody wanted to kill Grandma.

Then it became obvious the numbers were phony and the Democrats at the state and local level were getting more tyrannical (the source of many a rebellion from Bouddica to TE Lawrence). Then Pelosi Galore tried to hold the country for ransom while the Dr Evil crowd crashed the markets.

Now it's part stir crazy, part outrage, part desperation, part history lesson, and all American.

Last time the country got this mad, the Nips thought America would attack Dai Nippon if they attacked British and Dutch colonies in the Far East, so they attacked us first.
