Yeah, Mr. Smiley. Made it through the entire Trump presidency without being enslaved. Imagine that.

Jim Cramer: Just Grow The Moustache And Quit Pretending

 So I don't watch Mr. Shouty. However; a clip of him came to my attention yesterday and though I resisted commenting on it, I decided he needed a dedicated post because he represents more people than you or I may think. So here's the clip via the Dan Bongino show (skip to minute 10 if it doesn't go there directly):


So let's go over why Cramer just needs to grow the mustache:

1) "Eisenhower would be aghast that we have "immunocompromised people" who are incubators  for every variant to come"

Firstly in regards to the latest variant, it was discovered in so-called 'fully vaccinated" people who had also taken a "booster".

Secondly, people who have not taken a shot are NOT immunocompromised. When someone is immunocompromised, it means their immune system does not work as designed. That you may fail to mount an effective immune response to a challenge does not mean you are compromised. You just drew the short straw which each and every one of us will do at some point.  There is growing evidence that persons who take one of the shots ARE in fact immunocompromised as it may be the case that their immune system no longer functions as designed hence the new infections. In stark contrast to those who have successfully fought off the infection. Those persons have been shown to be immune from currently known strains.

So right there Cramer is telling fantastically epic lies.

2) "Walking around lawfully unvaccinated. That's psychotic."

 Yeah sir. See we own our bodies and decide what will and will not be put into it. That right is protected from government infringement via the supreme document of the land. If you don't like it, grow the moustache and take a one-way flight to Germany.

3) "We have governors who want to be president by grandstanding on a foolish "states rights" issue"?

Yeah, that foolish and pesky constitution. I mean why would an elected head of [a] state defend and uphold that silly piece of paper?

4) "The right to get sick" 

Yes. You absolutely have the right to get sick. Whether you SHOULD try to is another argument altogether. But you absolutely have that right. 

5) "The right to get other people sick?"

Depends. You cannot purposely try to infect someone with a deadly disease or poison them and things like that. You CAN walk around minding your own business and if you happen to pass along an illness you have you aren't liable. It's considered the normal risk of living life. Prior to March 2020 that was widely understood. 

6) "Have the military run it"

Openly advocates for a police state. Grow the mustache sir.

7) "If you don't want to be vaccinated you better be ready to prove your conscientious objector status in court."

So first thing with this is that Cramer thinks that the people have the burden of proof here. No. The state has the burden of proof. They must prove that the measure they want to take that completely infringes on the property right of the individual is necessary. Of course when you are itching to grow the mustache, you already think the opposite.

Second, notice that he wants YOU to have the burden of financing a defense in front of the same state that wants to infringe on your rights.  No conflict of interest here. Of course that is why the founders put these "shall not be infringed" rights into the supreme legal document of the land. If you have the right then there is no need for a court case because no action can be taken against you. If an action against your right(s) has occurred then it is the STATE that is at fault.

8) Even then you need to help with the war effort by staying home until we finally beat this thing."

So Cramer is advocating for indefinite detention of citizens.

Grow the mustache.

Also, most sane scientists concede that SarsCOV-2 is endemic and is unlikely to go away. Ever. This is particularly true because it has non-human reservoirs in which it can incubate and mutate. I don't expect Cramer to understand these things. But you the reader should know this so that you can recognize this false argument when it is offered.

I'll say it again: One of the most profound things to have been revealed since March of 2020 is just how many people are good with dictatorships. Same people who think MLK and Rosa Parks are heroes are acting like the people who opposed them and they are too dumb to see it. 

As for Cramer, he revealed himself. Let those with ears hear and eyes see.
