NY Gov abruptly reverses stance on COVID-19 lockdowns

By Ryan Ledendecker

January 11, 2021

Just when America thought the political world couldn’t possibly get any more confusing and ridiculous, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo proved us all wrong with a stunning announcement this week concerning the state of the COVID-19 crisis in his state.

According to Breitbart, with just nine days left of President Donald Trump’s term in the White House, the New York governor announced that he’s quitting his nearly year-long pro-lockdown crusade, writing in a tweet that the “cost is too high” to keep businesses in his state closed, even warning that many might never open again as a result.

With New York citizens experiencing some of the strictest lockdown measures in the midst of the pandemic, Cuomo’s sudden change of heart, unsurprisingly, took many by surprise.

“We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass,” Cuomo tweeted. “The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely.”

One minute we cannot the next minute we can. For those of us who are old enough, remember the gas bull shit in the early 70's???One day gas, next day no gas.

That was more like late 70s. Gas prices spiked too, from about 75 cents to over $1 a gallon.

There was even 10 gallon limit too.

I can recall travelling in Oklahoma and they had gas wars going for 19 cents a gallon. ;)

The first one was in '73 (Arab oil embargo, Israel), the second was in '79 (don't remember why, Iran maybe?). The '79 was the one that sent gas over a buk, I think.
