A couple of readers asked to see the original ad. I am not sure I actually ever published this text. The Powerline Blog did in a series of posts on my more convoluted than I would have believed possible effort to get the Strib to publish it. You can read the text here. In retrospect I should have referred to “economic and social” suicide. (Powerline Post)
In the course of trying to see if I ever published it, I re-read a number of the earliest posts I did on coronavirus, in late March and early April of 2020. I was pretty accurate in describing the consequences of the response. If you are interested you can use the search function on the blog for March 2020 and/or April 2020 and see them all.

I must have found your blog on that powerline post. I was forced to work from home back then and initially opposed the idea. I was one of the last people to leave actually. It was good to be able to read your posts that agreed with my thinking. I never wore a mask except when I was forced to a couple of times in the dental office waiting room. I actually waited outside the office to limit the time. Overall it turned out to be good for me since after learning how much I liked working from home I’ve refused to go back to the office unless absolutely necessary.
