International Man: Thanksgiving and the holiday season are here. The COVID hysteria has justified a new wave of government restrictions.
Many governors and mayors are ordering citizens to “stay at home” and cancel their traditional plans.
Is this a “new normal” in which local officials feel emboldened to dictate more and more of what people can do in their own homes?
Doug Casey: There’s not much question about it. First, let me draw your attention to an important fundamental: the type of people who go into government. It doesn’t matter if it’s national, state, county, or city government.
