1/Welp, I spent last night continuing my research into the #blizzard2022 #hoax.
Thankfully, @Twitter and Facebook have helpful algorithms that pointed me in the direction of *real* experts who helped me round out my thinking.

2/I studied poignant, analytical memes from leading thinkers in finance, technology, and art sales.
To my surprise, their insights actually CONFIRMED all of my pre-conceived notions about this storm.
Thanks for the research help @twitter!

3/All of this research has led me to conclude that the hype around #blizzard2022 is being driven by the weather-industrial complex.
In short, it is all #propaganda.
I am concerned for our republic.

4/First of all, @CDCgov says blizzards are no big deal so long as you're financially stable, don't have to leave your house for work, have food, can afford heating and internet, and don't have to worry about power outages.
Those apply to me. So why should I care about others?

5/This morning, my neighbors said I needed to put salt on our shared sidewalk to keep THEM safe!
But putting salt down is inconvenient. Why should I be inconvenienced to help others in my community?
Can't people who are vulnerable to slips and falls just stay inside?

6/Get this: my town implemented a "parking ban" too. They say it's to help them keep roads cleared.
But it really amounts to the government telling me, a taxpayer, what I can and can't do with my own private property. Didn't we fight a war against England to prevent this?

7/This is a blatant violation of the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment to the @usconstitution.
It also violates the Declaration of Independence.
A lawyer I chatted with last night on Facebook says this could go all the way to @SCOTUS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

8/And these so-called meteorologists have no clue what they're talking about.
Earlier this week, the forecast was for 10-20 inches. Then it changed to 8-12 inches. And now they're hyping it up as a "blizzard"!
I challenge @KeithCarson to debate me publicly on this.

9/I also find it deeply suspicious that their "models" change all the time. I thought this was "science", which does not change (see, e.g., gravity).
Who pressured them to change the models? My hunch: follow the $$$ and we'll find out.

10/We really need to be talking about the impact of #blizzard2022 on our kids!
Were it not for the alarmism of Organized Meteorology, our kids would be outside playing today.
But instead, kids are inside.
That is unacceptable. #letthemplay

11/Now I'm watching @weatherchannel and they're telling people to wear gloves if they go outside.
Do we know what the long-term side effects of gloves are? How do we know that gloves won't cause skin infections? Or vitamin D deficiency?
We need randomized trials. #facts

12/And gloves DON'T WORK!
The "experts" say that good gloves help prevent frostbite. That's nonsense.
I know a guy who got frostbite even though he was WEARING GLOVES. #CHECKMATE

13/Plus, I did the research and frostbite only happens about 1% of the time.
And my buddy who got it was FINE after his ER visit and skin graft.

14/I mean, sure, some people might die from from the cold. But how many died "from" the cold, vs. "with" the cold?
And how many of those who died had pre-existing conditions?
Why won't anyone tell us? #transparency

15/Honestly, this "wear gloves" thing is ridiculous.
What's next? Telling me that I won't get service in a store unless I'm also wearing a shirt or shoes?
We need to stop living in fear, #sheeple!

16/Here's how I see it: I don't need gloves.
Treatments for frostbite are SO GOOD now. I'll be fine.
I am warm blooded and have a skin system that is perfectly capable of keeping me warm, thank you very much. #Factsnotfear

17/I went out for a drive this morning and the entire town is on lockdown!
This is a completely ridiculous overreaction to something that is seasonal, and will literally melt away. It will assuredly be gone by Easter. #blizzard2022
