Does anyone care?

Truckers protested masks, parents yell at school board members because of masks, people are taught to be angry when kids learn about homosexuality, teaching about slavery causes angry outbursts.

Guns killing little children in school, does anyone care. Our country does not. Republican in the White house = more guns, Democrat in the White house = more guns.

Does anyone care... we are all under the gun.

Results of research show effectiveness for N95 mask is better than surgical mask

Result are from a study in a hospital, I'd assume it would apply to non-hospital situations too. Basically wearing a mask does decrease infection (not only from Covid).

N95 respirator use was associated with fewer viral infectious episodes for healthcare workers compared with surgical masks. The N95 respirator was most effective in reducing the risk of a viral infection in the hospital setting from the SARS‐CoV 1 and 2 viruses compared to the other viruses included in this investigation. Methodologic quality, risk of biases, and small number of original studies indicate the necessity for further research to be performed, especially in front‐line healthcare delivery settings.


Although : "Healthcare professionals have stated discomfort, most often headaches, associated with N95 respirator use."

Buyouts result higher prices for you and me. Fullstop

Competition in America is about price, selection, and service. It benefits
consumers by keeping prices low and the quality and choice of goods
and services high. Competition also encourages businesses to offer new
and better products.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

Integrity, a Chaney? I disagree -- the fact that someone treats dogs well does not make them a good person. And agreeing that the moon is not made of of cheese or that there are many bigots in the GOP is not extraordinary.

Court is moving further into DISREPUTE

In striking down the law today," Kagan wrote, "the Court greenlights all the sordid bargains Congress thought right to stop. . . . In allowing those payments to go forward unrestrained, today's decision can only bring this country's political system into further disrepute.

So Hutchinson is 'pro-life' in AR but not other states? Hypocritic, thy name is Hutchinson

And, by the way, it isn't pro-life, it is pro-government control of your body. They are only starting with women.
