The Swivel-Eyed Loons Have a Point
> when the swivel-eyed loons claim that the COVID lockdowns were a pretense to control everyday people while rich people swanned around having a lovely time, they’re not entirely wrong.<p>I don't really believe that it's a "pretense" but rather that people in power tend to take every opportunity to keep and bolster their power and freedom and care less about the power and freedom of the already disadvantaged.<p>Something being leveraged for somebody's advantage doesn't mean that it was created for that advantage.
