Zombie Republic

California… prophet on the burnin’ shore… where Gavin Newsom is whipping the kids back to school so he can whip their parents back to work, where new cases of COVID-19 are up 165% in Los Angeles County at least partially due to brilliance like this:

“…Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva stated that the mandate will not be enforced as it is ‘not backed by science’ and contradicts the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which recommends only that the unvaccinated wear masks.”

— “COVID-19 cases rise by 165 percent in California since lifting of restrictions in June”, wsws.org 07.22.2021

The reputation of the LAPD and the L.A. Sheriff’s Department was already so deep in the toilet they couldn’t possibly make it worse — until the goddamn sheriff of L.A. County decided he was going to be their goddamn doctor, too.

A hundred and sixty-five goddamn percent.
