Everything You Thought You Knew Is Wrong<\/h1>\n

A Shaky Look at Then and Now<\/em><\/h1>\n

Everything you thought you knew is wrong..<\/p><\/div>\n

Now you know how Alice really felt on her journey with the white rabbit down the hole to another dimension.\u00a0 You can live it and feel it for yourself.\u00a0 In just a week, everything we knew\u00a0 has done a 180. Every freakin’ thing is upside down, backwards.\u00a0 Think about these things, and then add some to the list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. \u00a0The American Mantra – be a good citizen, get a job and go to work every day.\u00a0 We need taxpayers.\u00a0 Really?\u00a0 Now we are ordered by our twin Mad Hatters, the Governor and the Mayor to stay at home.\u00a0 Lock yourself in and don’t go out.\u00a0 Order pizza every night, you’ll get to like it even more.<\/li>\n
    2. It was illegal to wear a mask on City Streets a couple weeks ago, now you can be arrested for NOT wearing one.<\/li>\n
    3. The markets spent millions of dollars on advertising campaigns to help save the oceans from the scourge of plastic bag pollution by bringing your own bag to put your groceries in.\u00a0 Now your own bags are forbidden, and the markets give you bags for free.\u00a0 Gee, then why did they charge us 10 cents per bag a couple weeks ago?\u00a0 \u00a0The virus made them generous.<\/em><\/li>\n
    4. The children would be arrested by Mr. Truant officer if they played hooky from school.\u00a0 Now the Mayor orders the schools closed.\u00a0 Hey, the kids learn everything they need from youtube anyway.<\/li>\n
    5. The righteous parents have spent years screaming about those awful video games their kids are playing on their computers.\u00a0 Now, they are told to play video games for hours to keep the kids occupied.<\/li>\n
    6. The Federal Government spends millions telling taxpayers to pay up, they need the money.\u00a0 Now, it turns out that they really don’t need it, they just print however much they need every week.\u00a0 And they are sending out billions to most citizens to prove it.\u00a0 Gee, the virus has lowered taxes and gotten us a hand-out.<\/li>\n
    7. Our capitalist rulers have for years tried to coach folks to become entrepreneurs and start their own businesses.\u00a0 Now, the Mad Hatter twins have ordered most of them to close down.\u00a0 It turns out, they say, that we only need a few stores.\u00a0 Plus waiting in long lines keeps you occupied and out of trouble.\u00a0 This is something the Mad Hatters learned from reading about life in the old Soviet Union.<\/li>\n
    8. The homeless were a big problemo in the past.\u00a0 The Mad Hatter twins let them sleep in tent cities underneath all the freeways.\u00a0 Now, there’s plenty of money, compliments of Mr. Virus.\u00a0 The homeless are being sent to refurbished hotels where they will live for free, and get free food to boot.\u00a0 Does anyone blame the starving poor of the world who want to get in here for these good deals?\u00a0 Better put barbed wire on top of that wall Mr. Trump.<\/li>\n
    9. Toilet Paper companies used to spend a fortune advertising on TV to convince you to buy their brand.\u00a0 Now they can’t produce it fast enough.\u00a0 TP sells out immediately every day.\u00a0 A dream come true for Charmin. No need for ANY more ads, and by the way, the TP companies can now stop this double layer nonsense and go to one-sheet paper, extra thin.\u00a0 Rumor has it that the perforations will be the next to go.<\/li>\n
    10. “Consumerism” is now on the road to obliteration.\u00a0 Retail stores like Macys are going bankrupt.\u00a0 Let’s face facts.\u00a0 If the retail stores are closed then you won’t need any money to buy anything because there will be nothing to buy.\u00a0 Our trade deficit with China will soon be headed in the right direction<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Send us your own thoughts on this upside-down world and thank Mr. Virus for all the hand outs and free stuff we’re getting.\u00a0 If only we could watch some baseball games now that we are always home, it might be considered a little bit of upside down paradise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
