Here is my view on how the "mask" thing happened. You can believe it or not. As always think as you will. The government had nothing to say to the people. No medicine, no help. Hell we didn't even have enough ventilators. They even said at the beginning the truth, that masks
....don't work...then panic set in and the people wanted a security blanket. Something that would make the bad virus stay under the bed and not eat them during the night. The left especially wanted something, anything to calm their fears and hence the idea that this
.....thin piece of cloth that lets smoke in will somehow magically keep a virus smaller than a smoke particles out was born. People rushed to take up the security blanket of their choice. And as anyone that had a child with a security blanket knows once they form an attachment
...getting them to give it up before they are willing involves a lot of crying and tantrums. Who knows maybe the child was right and the security blanket actually kept the monsters under the bed. Anything is possible, I guess.
But since I've not read any reports of monster attacks on non security blanket carrying children, I tend to think the blankets don't actually work as advertised and instead simply are a way to calm the child's fears of the unknown.

And yet, unlike Biden, Trump has been proven right on the economy, foreign affairs, &the border among other things. So those that told the lie (not fable) should ask themselves how stupid/deranged u are. How you can look in the mirror everyday and not feel guilt is beyond me.
For four years you attacked a man for no reason. A man that did a great job without being paid because your feelings got hurt in Nov, 2016. You allowed your baseless fears and your baseless belief that you all knew better than everyone else to lead you down a path of telling lie
...after lie, of making up total bullshit day after day. Not once did I in the media stop & do a gut check & think you know the border is secure, the economy is going gangbusters, the world is safer than before Trump, there is little Islamic terrorism going on. Nope, instead you
Is the liberal use of sunscreen and the large amount of Vit D deficiency in this country linked? Have the experts created another problem by trying to deal with skin cancer? Is the liberal use of sunscreen also increasing skin cancer occurrence? Real science would be nice atm.
...but since the scientists paid for by the sunscreen makers publish their papers and the scientists paid by the vitamin companies publish their papers and the sun worshipers have their own findings, I guess we are left to make up our own minds on the subject.
You see science isn't really science anymore just like capitalism has turned into crony capitalism. It's more a matter of getting the results you want then getting the correct results. Vested interests, $millions maybe $billions at stake and science has turned into gobbledygook.
Once again the Dems in the WH failed to read the entire quote by Goebbels about the big lie.
They read this part and stopped:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it"
When they should have continued reading the next part
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie."
This is being shown to be true as the military consequences of Afghanistan can no longer be shielded from the people.
The political consequences of one party rule is no longer able to shield them from the stolen election.
Inflation is causing them to no longer be able to shield people from the real economic costs of them printing money out of thin air.
People think facts are facts and get confused/angry when others don't see the "facts" they see. The problem is in most cases what the confused/angry people are "seeing" aren't facts but opinions based on those facts. There are many ways to see the same fact and come away with a
.... different opinion. It's a story as old as time. People have a very hard time knowing the difference between facts and opinions. Here is a cheat sheet. When in doubt assume it's an opinion based off whatever "fact" the other guy is trying to push.
Let's use an example. In NC since the pandemic started there has been a total of 1,144,905 cases of covid reported with 14,059 deaths. Now that's a "fact" but is it really with human error involved in the collection of data and results of false positives have been shown to
In my life, I've been dirt poor as well as where I don't even bother to check if my paycheck hit the bank. This is why I don't think the poor are lazy (some are) or the well off are there because of hard work, racism or connections (some are). There are a million reasons why
....people are where they are financially. Some of those reasons are due to individual choices and characteristics. Some are due to intelligence or lack of. Some are just due to dumb luck or bad luck and no I don't just mean hitting the lottery. Some are due to shit happening.
All I know is that stereotyping a person based on their financial circumstances is useless and will give you the wrong answer the majority of the time. Being proud that you are in one group or envious that your arent are two sides of the same coin. Getting angry about it doesn't
Now, you all can take this how you want and your results may vary however if the "do gooders and experts" were always right then I should have died sometime in the last 36 years from not wearing a seatbelt. I should have died at some point from driving and looking at my phone,
I should have died at some point from an STD, I should have had a really large amount of bastards, I should have died from cancer due to tobacco usage and/or 1000 other products , I should have died from being stupid while drunk, I should have died not wearing a helmet,
I should have died from not using a car seat when a baby, I should have died from driving on medication, I should have died from untold numbers of diseases, I should have died from being overweight, I should have died from a heart attack from eating real butter years ago
