John Stossel recently posted a good reminder of the many absurd and often evil actions that were so prevalent during the COVID-19 era. Never forget how eager so many with political power were to curb our liberties in the name of "safety." Also, never forget how easy it was for the tyrants to get what they wanted. Far too many Americans were willing to surrender their personal liberties simply because someone in the government told them to do so. Fear--especially the fear of death--is a powerful motivator, and tens-of-millions of Americans gave into it during COVID. To borrow from Charlie Waite, many may not know this, but there's things that gnaw on a person worse than dying.
Remember the start of the pandemic?

Swimmers were ordered to wear masks in pools.
It’s important we don’t forget how AUTHORITARIAN politicians are eager to be: pic.twitter.com/2HojTVvXYE
