[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we not? Please? Covid is done, get over it. I'm sick of you people - who never did anything to protect others during the pandemic anyway - complaining about something that happened three years ago.[/quote]
This. Sorry your ski trip in 2020 got canceled or whatever. Cope.[/quote]

I went on my ski trip and had a wonderful time. [/quote]

It's hard for lockdowns to work when people ignore them.  You don't get to flout the rules and then complain that they were ineffective[/quote]
There were no rules preventing people from traveling to ski in another state, if the ski resorts were open.

In any event[b], I ignored the rules as much as I could because I knew they didn't, and couldn't, work. They went against all prior pandemic planning[/b].[/quote]

Same.  Felt bad friends didn’t know any better and went along with the restrictions.  We enjoyed life to the extent possible.  [/quote]
One of the (few) good things about living in the US during the pandemic versus a country like France, was our lack of national restrictions. To avoid the crazy restrictions and rules in a place like DC, we spent a lot of time in places like Florida and Georgia. [b]I'm thankful we live in a country where the Federal government couldn't dictate to everyone how to respond to covid, and that can't forbid travel.[/b] [/quote]

Same here.  I have family in Jordan and Dubai.  It was out of control there.

Though, I will say that even here in the US, the federal government really did try to forbid travel, and other things.  Luckily it was somewhat kept in check.  [/quote]
I have relatives in Canada, and certain provinces would ban people from other provinces from traveling there. Thankfully, Governors and Mayors don't have that power here. And the Federal government doesn't have that power, either. Americans are free to move about this country. [/quote]

And it’s why we had a higher death rate in this country than those that applied real restrictions. American prioritize #freedumb over health and common good.[/quote]

Freedom isn’t free.

It’s incredibly sad to make fun of freedom with your #freedumb.  What comes to mind are the millions of Americans who lost their lives to protect your freedom, the millions of immigrants who came here in the search for freedom and prosperity, the many civil liberties you have as an American (even compared to Western Europeans!).  You won’t be making fun of freedom if you ever lose it.  [/quote]

FFS stop with the people died for your freedom. Most countries have freedom. In fact, a dozen or more have more freedom than the USA. And most of those are in Western Europe.

This trope that Americans are the only ones with freedom is stupid and anyone who repeats it in ironically reveals themselves to be not a serious thinker. [/quote]

And many countries with freedom somehow did not have the same repressive covid policies as some US states. [/quote]
