To Think They Say Progressives Are Economic Illiterates
By Mitch Berg
SCENE: Mitch BERG is at Fleet Farm, looking for new liners for his old chopper mittens. Engrossed in his search, he doesn’t notice Avery LIBRELLE walking around the corner, a quizzical look on hi…er, he…er, Avery’s face. LIBRELLE notices BERG.
LIBRELLE: Merg!
BERG: Uh, hi, Avery. What brings you out to Fleet Farm?
LIBRELLE: Picketing against the Navy and farmers!
BERG: Of course…
LIBRELLE: It’s time to tax the billionaires for all the excess profits they’ve been earning because of the deadly Trump pandemic.
BERG: So let me make sure I get this straight…
LIBRELLE: Uh, heteronormative…
BERG: Huh? Oh, for f…ranklin Delano Roosevelt’s sake. OK. Let me make sure I get this correct: you want to raise taxes on the e-commerce billionaires who are prospering mightily…
LIBRELLE: Yes.
BERG: …because the small businesses that were competing with them were destroyed by the government’s ham-fisted handling of the pandemic, which was imposed by the government that you now want to make the ultimate beneficiary of the government’s own dork-fingered, utterly catastrophic mis-handling of the response?
(But LIBRELLE has already wandered off, looking for wherever the ships are).

Got it, Emery. DOJ lifers see little need for crowd control, hence Trump is responsible for their failure to respond. Huh?

“On an ongoing basis these crowds do learn the thin blue border to anarchy indeed pretty thin.”
And for that, we have BLM and Antifa to thank…so there’s that.
