Thank you for this excellent piece of writing and support. I am a New Yorker, born and raised! What this unelected Governor has snuck through in the dark of night is illegal and unconstitutional! Only a lawsuit against her will get us out of this! In most counties of NY state you will find hard working conservative (red state type) families. We are not overly conservative that we’re in your business, but conservative enough to not want you in ours! We are outnumbered by NYC liberals who are still wearing masks outside, suffering no doubt from hypoxemia and hypercapnia and therefore haven’t a clue COVID is over, and they’ve all been fooled! It has gotten to the point that most people I know are either moving, planning on moving, or talking about moving! My family included. I was fired from my hospital RN job, and my brother was fired from his job for not being vaccinated. He will be moving! I want to fight for my state! I ❤️ NY, I hate the politicians, and the super-libs. Unfortunately, It’s been a dirty dog political pound forever no matter party majority, so the odds of change are slim. My line in the sand is vaccine mandates for my kids. I have no doubt Governor H with her golden calf vax necklace is dying to jab our kids, and change of leadership may or may not save them. I’m sticking around to vote and kick her bitch ass to the curb! Pray for us!
I am grateful to hear your perspective as a New Yorker, and YES to that lawsuit—pronto!!
“It has gotten to the point that most people I know are either moving, planning on moving, or talking about moving!”
I don’t know if you’ve seen “My Dinner with Andre,” but that is exactly the conversation that precedes the quote I use as the epigraph:
ANDRE: And when I was at Findhorn, I met this extraordinary English tree expert who had devoted his life to saving trees. Just got back from Washington, lobbying to save the redwoods, he’s 84 years old, and he always travels with a backpack cause he never knows where he’s gonna be tomorrow. And when I met him at Findhorn, he said to me, “Where are you from?” and I said, “New York.” He said, “Ah, New York. Yes, that’s a very interesting place. Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave, but never do?” And I said, “Oh, yes.” And he said, “Why do you think they don’t leave?” I gave him different banal theories. He said, “Oh, I don’t think it’s that way at all.” (see https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/covid-is-over-if-you-want-it footnote for the extended excerpt)
I am so sorry you and your brother both lost your jobs but am proud of you guys for standing up!
I understand why many people choose exile, and as we learned in WWII, that can be a life-saving decision, but I also admire your willingness to stick around and fight it out. That’s the choice my husband and I have made in Oregon, which many would say is hopeless ;-) Here’s to a nationwide ass-kicking in November!
