I'm trying to find good news. I really am.
I'm not one of these libertarians who thinks always being pessimistic shows how smart and sophisticated he is.
Sometimes good things do happen, and in order not to let despair get the better of us, we need to report on those things.
But there are times when it's hard to find those good things.
For example:
Kim Janey, acting mayor of Boston, has taken an outspoken stand against so-called vaccine passports that would require proof of vaccination in order to do pretty much anything worth doing in the city.
Hearing that gave me a glimmer of hope.
Then I found out that all of her opponents in the mayoral race (the election is this year) support the idea.
Losing Boston would be a tough blow, since I grew up about half an hour away, so I'll be keeping a close eye on this.
Then today the New York Times ran an article about the situation in Israel, with the subhead: "One of the most vaccinated societies, Israel now has one of the highest infection rates in the world, raising questions about the vaccine's efficacy."
Oh, that's because of all those unvaccinated people, right?
The Times dismisses that: "Unlike previous epicenters of infection in Israel's crowded, less vaccinated Orthodox communities, this scourge primarily took hold in well-vaccinated, middle-class suburbs."
But back in the U.S., even though we now know vaccinated people can spread the virus and despite the latest news coming out of Israel that even the Times can't ignore, there are places in the U.S. that still demand you get vaccinated in order to do pretty much anything, and their number is going to increase.
If there's a silver lining here, it's this: places not giving in to this craziness are going to see a major boom.
Meanwhile, though, people in all walks of life are facing moral dilemmas as their places of work demand vaccination.
When I interviewed Right Said Fred ("I'm Too Sexy") a couple of weeks ago, they said: in this day and age you have to do what you can to work for yourself. Only then can you be free of these kinds of demands.
That is easier said than done. I understand. But if now isn't the time at least to look into what working online would look like, either as a side hustle or full time, when would be?
Thus Kevin Fahey's Easy Repetitive System, which I recommend to you. Kevin is the guy I myself consult when I have business-related questions.
Kevin's inexpensive program, which will teach you a lot, is also an excellent opportunity to discover whether having an online business is for you.
It's on a dimesale, which means the price inches upward with every sale, so now's the time:
