Did lockdowns work? What about closing schools? What countries did best? ***** YouTube age-restricted the original video I posted, which vastly reduces the number of people who will see it. I have decided to edit out the parts that may have caused the restriction: a clip showing Australian Police choking a woman for not wearing a mask, Chinese authorities dragging a man out of his home, and protestors clashing with police ***** \\u2014\\u2014\\u2014\\u2014 To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe \\u2014\\u2014\\u2014\\u2014 It turns out that America\'s lockdowns did NOT work. Even though the media praised New York governor Andrew Cuomo for an "amazing job,\\u201d accounting for age, his state ended up with more deaths than "irresponsible" Florida. Meanwhile, some countries, like Australia, imposed brutal lockdowns. My producer crunched the numbers at MaximumTruth.Substack.com and found that lockdowns DID save some lives. But they weren\'t worth it. The video above explains why.\\n\\xa0\\nhttps://youtu.be/QExJbWWwXDc \\nThe Jones Act Makes Shipping More Expensive\\nJohn Stossel\\n810K subscribers\\n212,803 views Feb 28, 2023\\nAmerican shipbuilders have a disgusting monopoly. I confront a shipping lobbyist who uses government to ban competition. \\u2014\\u2014\\u2014\\u2014 To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe \\u2014\\u2014\\u2014\\u2014 The Jones Act, a stupid law with a stupid name, restricts domestic shipping to vessels built in America and crewed by Americans. That hurts consumers. It really hurts suffering people who need supplies after natural disasters. Unions and big shipping companies love this dumb law because it protects them from competition. \\u201cYour rules really hurt people,\\u201d I say to a lobbyist. "They don\\u2019t,\\u201d she replies. "What the Jones Act does is ensure reliable, dedicated service."

The media call it a national security crisis. Bunk. The truth is, the word classified usually means very little. Government classifies three things every second. \\u201cA lot of top secrets are nothing of the kind,\\u201d historian Matthew Connelly tells us. Many classified \\u201csecrets\\u201d are nonsense or embarrassing proof of government incompetence. I\\u2019ll show you why the problem is much bigger than Presidents taking classified documents home.\\n\\xa0\\nhttps://youtu.be/GZmVLpfunzE\\n\\xa0The Scaremongers Are Wrong\\nJohn Stossel\\n810K subscribers\\n583,731 views Jan 24, 2023\\nHave you heard?
