“And then the people said ‘no.’ The end”

“And then the people said ‘no.’ The end” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying usually implies how to end COVID-19 (coronavirus) restrictive measures that, despite compliance, did not end after two years.
 
“And then the people said no….the end!” was posted on Twitter by Charlotte, The Baroness of Burnley on December 12, 2021. The saying (shown on an image) was posted on Facebook by SerenityFirst Meditation Heal Body, Mind, Spirit on December 14, 2021.
     
Related sayings include “The first step to changing the system is to stop complying with it,” “You cannot comply your way out of tyranny” and “You comply because you want it to end, but it doesn’t end because you comply.”

Pre-covid, I loved my business. It was fun. Now it’s 100% stress. PPE, RAT’s, Covid Policies, Staff shortages, lost customers, Covid mandates. Instead of growing my business,I deal with Covid every friggin day.  I can’t do this much longer, it’s soul destroying. When does it end?
