That’s right Ladies and Gentlemen. You can win One Million dollars. All you have to do is get vaxxed in the Centennial State and you will automatically be entered in a drawing to win a million bucks. Not one, not two, not three, not four but five chances to win. Or at least that’s what Governor Jared said in his latest press conference.
“Coloradans are powering the comeback by doing their duty and getting vaxxed everyday.” Said Polis. I guess that’s why he is giving five million dollars away. Hmm. Something smells fishy here. If Coloradans are powering the comeback by getting vaxxed, why do they need to be lured to the vax stand with the promise of free money?
With crumbling roads, infrastructure in shambles and one in eight people in the state going hungry; I judge there are much better ways to invest $5,000,000. Jared says it is money that would have been spent on advertising and marketing anyway. Perhaps, I think too much but it seems to me that if getting vaxxed is really the life saving wonder drug he suggests, folks would be beating down the doors on the Vax clinics, screaming for their share.
Comeback Cash
“Simply by taking the sensible step and getting vaccinated, like I have, like my parents have, like my family and friends have you will be given a chance to win a million dollars. Not one, not two, not three, not four but five chances to win some Colorado Comeback Cash.” Stated Polis.
“Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson. It doesn’t matter. Whether it’s your first jab or your final jab. It doesn’t matter. All you have to do to enter, is just get jabbed. Everyone who gets vaxxed has a chance to win. We are thrilled to offer this opportunity. Ohio had a huge uptick in the number of teenagers going to the vax stands when they offered free money. We are even looking at offering a scholarship lottery for the 12-17 year olds, that can’t enter the cash lotto. If you don’t want to miss out on this incredible opportunity, you need to get vaccinated right away.” Said Polis.
Snake Oil
That was just the first three minutes of Jared’s press conference but it was all I could handle. I was feeling dizzy and nauseous. Is this really what society has come to? Luring school kids to the vax clinics with promises of free schooling and promising their parents free money. I am seriously considering moving to Wyoming. When the Governor sounds more like a carnival barker or a snake oil peddler than the leader of the state, that’s just weird. But I got to thinking. What is a politician anyway? Not really that much difference, I suppose.
I really wanted to believe that we were over the hump on the pandemic, as more venues open up. Then I witness more creepy government malfeasance and realize that this is only the beginning – not the end.
