(Elizabeth Johnston) Small businesses across the nation have been devastated, drug use, depression, domestic abuse, and suicide have climbed, and society has been all but completely transformed.

And yet, those in power still flip flop, self-contradict, spin the facts, and continue to demonstrate how useless they are at actually stopping the spread of anything at all.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is such a leader, who has previously been an adamant proponent of shutting down bars and restaurants. Now, all of a sudden, she’s insisting that these establishments be re-opened “quickly.”
BizPac Review explains that Lightfoot’s fellow Democrat, the state’s Governor JB Pritzker, ordered indoor food service to halt in October.
Lightfoot, with her newfound concern for the industry, says that bars and restaurants would actually be “one of the safer places” for residents to visit, according to CBS News, taking a rather different stance than the majority of Democrat leaders who seem to have been under the impression that the virus thrives under any condition where food or beverages are being served rather than packaged on a shelf at a big box grocery store.
“They’ve gone above and beyond to put in mitigation controls inside of the restaurants,” Lightfoot explained.
“I feel very strongly that we are very close to a point when we should be talking about opening up our bars and restaurants,” she added.
BPR notes that public health experts actually disagree with Lightfoot, who for her part pointed to what she says is an increase in underground parties in leu of open bars.
Were residents attending open establishments she argued, it would enable proper restrictions to be more enforced than these modern-day speakeasies.
“People are engaging in risky behavior that is not only putting themselves at risk but putting their families, their co-workers, and other ones at risk.
“Let’s bring it out of the shadows. Let’s allow them to have some recreation in restaurants, in bars, where we can actually work with responsible owners and managers to regulate and protect people from COVID-19.”
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who like many of his fellow Democrat mayors and Governors has also strictly regulated indoor food service, has also done a similar about-face.
Blogger Matt Walsh and others drew attention to the timing of these shifting stances:
A week before Biden's inauguration and a study is released announcing that lockdowns don't work, Cuomo comes out and says that New York can't stay closed, and the mayor of Chicago is urging restaurants to open ASAP. We are supposed to believe that the timing is coincidental.

Wow, amazing how the mayors of America’s largest cities are advocating for reopening the week before the Biden administration takes hold. https://t.co/eeHsWB5a8R

California-based Chef Andrew Gruel was also understandably grumpy, as he has previously taken the same stance that Lightfoot now has but was attacked for doing so:
Wait, I said this 8 weeks ago and was vilified, had facebook groups set up to attack me, got harassing emails and anonymous hate mail. https://t.co/MGIOeom2EA

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
