HINSDALE, N.H.-Woody Bernhard correctly points out that during Covid lockdowns, skies cleared, waters cleared, and it was like a miracle.
All we need to do is receive everything for free, and we can all stay home forever!
We need food to magically appear on shelves or in our pantries. We need to have homes without rent or a mortgage, which will just magically appear without construction workers or vehicles. (Remember, we are all staying home.)
We need health care at no cost. We should never need to travel ever again. We need free electricity and, magically, it will appear, without trucks or workers to construct any of it.
Utopia is within our reach, if only we can eliminate the need for any of us to leave home ever again.
