Chaos and Confusion


These days we seem to be having an epidemic within an epidemic. No I am not talking about the delta variant which apparently is as contagious as chickenpox and spreading even among the fully vaccinated.

This new epidemic is that of chaos and confusion.

With Covid the CDC seems to be in a state of chaos and confusion. 

From the NYT:

After saying in May that vaccinated people could go maskless both indoors and outdoors, the agency did an about-face last week, once again recommending indoor masking for everyone — vaccinated or not — in places where the virus is spreading rapidly.

Anthony Fauci even admitted the store-bought masks we’ve been wearing does zilch in curbing the spread of COVID (via NYT). Chaos and confusion.

Other than with Covid, the chaos and confusion continue elsewhere.

At the direction of President Joe Biden and in defiance of a recent Supreme Court ruling, the Centers for Disease Control issued a 60-day eviction moratorium on 8/3.

The new 60-day CDC eviction moratorium carries steep criminal penalties for individual landlords who break the law:

– Potential $100k fine and 1 year in jail if eviction doesn’t result in death

– Up to $250k fine and 1 year in jail if evicted person dies.

If this isn’t the epitome of chaos and confusion, I’m not sure what is.

The made up  penalties are stiff and arbitrary, but worse it is unclear where the CDC gets the authority to enforce a “law” that Congress did not pass. Apparently the CDC thinks that it is now a combination of the legislative branch (making laws), and the judicial branch (overruling the Supreme Court), while the executive branch is busy mimicking a Biden bobble-head doll.
