   Right, people just lend money with no expectation of being repaid with interest. This seems to be the latest trope being trotted out to start taxing “unrealized capital gains” and it sounds really good to those engaged in class warfare. Now, how much are you going to have to pay in the “unrealized capital gain” you have in your house? Think this is being trotted out just to punish the less than 1% of the country that pays greater than 25% of all income taxes? They are coming after your home equity and 401K’s next.

   Kind of funny until you realize that Twitter and the other social media conglomerates all participated in censorship and suppression of information to successfully influence the outcome of a nationwide election.

   Yep, if you miss the Twitter censorship and suppression of opinions, Threads is the place for you.

   Not exactly indicative of things getting hotter.

   Once again some Branch Covidian making the false assertion that those who have actually read real science finding that masking is useless against the spread of viral infections are claiming Covid is a hoax. No, nobody denies this virus that originated in China is a hoax. However, we do find it somewhat amazing that a disease with a greater than 99% survivability for most people is being treated as the second coming of the Black Plague.

   You won’t find any. All you will find is vigorous assertion by so-called “experts” giving their opinions. There are some studies recently released claiming reduction in particles, but that is not the same thing as showing effectivity in reducing the spread of viral infections. There are no controlled studies that refute the studies you cite, some as recent as the H1N1 and SARS pandemics.

   Anonymous gripers? Those studies were conducted and published long before the COVID pandemic. They were peer reviewed studies with real control groups so that masked vs. unmasked results could be compared. There is nothing but statistical studies for the masking BS going on now. No studies with control groups (i.e., non-masked vs. masked). The science doesn’t make sense. COVID is about 118 to 125 nm in size. N95 masks are good down to 300 nm and surgical masks to 3000 nm. Hint: that orders of magnitude larger than the covid virus. It makes no sense that masks are going to filter out viruses an order of magnitude smaller than the mask filtering capability.

   Good for you, your wife is a PhD in health sciences — does she have an engineering background? Does she understand filter theory and capacities? You know the old saying, for every PhD, there’s an equal but opposite Phd.

   … and I’m really puzzled why in the world you find it necessary to respond to a comment that’s over 11 months old.

   I identify as an NFL star, unfortunately nobody is sending me any money or endorsements. Apparently this woke stuff only works for some people and not everybody. Funny that

   But very reflective of the current generation. They just don’t have any desire to hold on to family history or heirlooms. Not sure how or when that happened, but it is definitely a common attitude.

    Heaven help us if we ever have a real epidemic. A disease with a 98+% survival rate is “the end of the world”? Only in the minds and speech of the media that is scaring our populace to death over something that is the equivalent of a bad flu year.
