This is wonderful. "Professional politician gets real job after getting run out of town on a rail for Covid tyranny, realizes 'gee, working for a living is tough!', tries to cash in on that sweet, sweet, substack blogging-money"

We truly live in the wildest timeline.

I'll respond to the only substantive part of your comment: this looks like a guest post on someone else's blog, so he probably isn't making any money on it.
>... after getting run out of town on a rail for Covid tyranny...

This feels disingenuous. McCamley ran the department responsible for overseeing unemployment claims, and it was death threats related to those unemployment claims that prompted him to leave town. I'd be genuinely curious to see if you have something that ties this to COVID specifically.

>... tries to cash in on that sweet, sweet, substack blogging-money

Kinda hard to do that when you're essentially the guest commentator on someone else's Substack, though, no?

>We truly live in the wildest timeline.

Yeah, timelines where people flippantly throw out factually incorrect hot takes are pretty wild.

Covid tyranny?
