"Wolf! Help! Wolf!"

Government "cried wolf" over this pandemic. In fact, it keeps doing so. Gotta keep the people riled up and panicked.
But the effect has largely worn off-- the only ones still falling for it are the super-gullible government-supremacists who will always believe "authorities". Of course, there are still way too many of those people among us.

But, even people on the fence are falling off, and more of those are falling toward the "knock it off!" side. At least around here.

I don't even know what the Texas politicians are doing these days.

But, on the New Mexico side of this area, the petty tyrant has declared a new round of lockdowns. She apparently just loves power!

I hope it backfires. Crying "wolf" yet again is going to show even more people that you're a liar who can't be trusted. This is the effect "crying wolf" has, and it the point of the children's tale. I guess she didn't pay attention.

I don't see an end to this if they can keep getting away with it. Fewer will believe them each time, though. Another overreaction, and just about no one with any sense will listen the next time. Hopefully, there won't be a time when there really is a wolf and we ignore the real warning. But it's a price each of us must decide whether we are willing to pay.
