Yup. My Dad tried to warn me it was coming .. now I’m trying to convince him it’s HERE.. I think the jabs affected cognitive abilities & changed emotions or reactions to emotions were changed. I can see the difference in close family who got the initial shots ...
Brain fog is unfortunately not the same as warm fuzzies. The brain fog seems to lead to easy irritation over small issues. (Is that early dementia?) Whereas I don't bother to fuss over a lot of little stuff because of the bigger things to worry about.
Few are really tracking, is what I find. Knitting or crocheting a pattern, whilst also chatting to a friend, now impossible. A ka-chunk sound not just in my old volvo, last weekend, but in all of society. The ones who can track stick out now.
More people employed by the guvmint or public/private, where they have to keep their mouths shut.
No career path other than more of the same.
Limited private enterprise in China, people appear to be able to be entrepreneurs (looking at China through my tourist experiences December 2019) but one hears that when a business gets to be a certain size the CCP takes over. Food stores and small lodgings and market stalls appear entrepreneurial. However use of a QR code for payment is ubiquitous even in street night markets and to pay cash is challenging for the stall holder as no change is available.
As a tourist of course one has no idea about the social credit score system.
I did notice some general freedom to misbehave eg climbing park trees and walking on the grass. Big deal if that's the limit of freedom.
Yes exactly right, in the Navy, on shore leave, this limited freedom is known as Cinderella Liberty. Now the most fascinating question for thoughtful people is what kind of freedom do cubicle serfs wish? I submit above all else the right to grumble and complain and second to do nothing about the issues they grumble and complain about because they have hired politicians to do it for them. The third great freedom is the right to buy stuff cheap or dear while people starve. This constitutes the voting base.
Hard sometimes as fear index goes up after truth

I do not know if dementia or just over all increased irritability.

I agree. No one discusses anything seriously. Nor prior to Pandemic. Doom on.
