In dry air, the virus will easily make it through mere cloth like a fly through a chain-link fence. The main value in masks is in reducing the ability of the infected to project the virus long distances, especially when they cough or sneeze.<br /><br />Due to the recent uptick in cases, our county has mandated mask use for indoor public spaces. This has had limited effect on us, because for the last 6 months the public spaces that we've gone to have largely been limited to grocery stores and an occasional jaunt to the Home Depot.<br /><br />It has been noted that there is an ideological divide on mask use. I do think there is some truth to that, although the media always looking for new divisions to widen does play that up.<br /><br />My suggestion: If you think wearing a mask is offensive on a political level but are required by your local jurisdiction to wear one, then perhaps you should wear a mask that is also offensive on a political level. Here are a few suggestions:<br /><br />Trump 2020<br />Jeffery Epstein did not kill himself<br />There are only two genders<br />Islam is right about women, homosexuality & slavery - change my mind<br />Defund the Left<br />Planned Parenthood was founded by a white supremacist<br /><br />Just a few ideas off the top of my head. It would be funny to hear Progressives demand that you remove your mask.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-42579748477973057832020-07-13T20:42:15.388-05:002020-07-13T20:42:15.388-05:00@Jess: Where is Sgt.

And like you, I sure want to see some major arrests of the <i>real</i> bad guys happening soon.<br /><br />@M. Mitchell Marmel- I applaud Trump's decision! Not a CENT for Minneapolis! They need to learn that "this is why you can't have nice things."<br /><br />@Dan- Originally, it looked like Stone was going to catch a (politically motivated) 9-year sentence. 67 isn't <i>that</i> old (it's my own age!), but spending 9 years in a Covid-19 infested facility with father rapers sittin' right there on the bench next to him could have pretty much been a life sentence. Barr talked it down to 40 months, which was more fair since Stone really <i>wasn't</i> as pure as the wind-driven snow. But even so, I don't mind Trump springing him because others (like Clapper, Comey, and Brennan) committed far worse abuses and got away scot-free. For now...<br /><br />@REM1875- Nope, nothing to see there. Move along, folks, move along...<br /><br />@NaCly Dog- Who am I to question the Great Plan that has dictated that my role is to make people laugh?<br /><br />@Bobo the Hobo- I almost admire the brilliant stupidity of Nancy's idea. <br /><br />@Fish Out of Water- Sadly, lunatics and bad guys aren't kept locked up anymore.<br /><br />@jpb252- Clinton and Obama opened the cage doors for some <i>spectacularly</i> horrible people. And you're right that no one cared - except for those of us in the peanut gallery.<br /><br />@Scotty Curtis- DAMN IT! But...you're right! I looked online, and "Uncle Pennybags with a monocle" is considered a good example of the Mandela Effect: in which lots of people believe they remember something that isn't actually the case. That wealthy sonofagun apparently has 20-20 vision!<br /><br />@Uchuck the Tuchuck- I thought Lazy Limburger was the first guy to fly over the Atlantic Ocean in The Spirit of St. Louis? No, wait...that was "Lucky" somebody.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- Yes, those are the little "grace notes" I enjoy working in to my posts.<br /><br />@Shelly- Pelosi has zero credibility these days. And Trump will NEVER match the commutations and pardons issued by his Democrat predecessors.<br /><br />@John the Econ- A fine analysis of both issues!<br /><br />@Geoff King- This is a subject on which we'll have to agree to disagree. Strongly. Masks are important, and the whole "chain link fence" and/or "suffocation" arguments are flat out wrong. And sadly, we'll see nothing like normality (or even a decent "new normal") in this country until nearly 100% of people understand that. Which currently seems like "never."<br /><br />@Jess- Perhaps we should call him "Joe-mima," because he's just the smiling face on the box of mystery policies these days. Who the Dems will REALLY be running for president (with the assumption that Joe will step down, die, or just get lost in the first couple of weeks in office) will be very interesting to see. And, no doubt, terrifying.<br /><br />@Anonymous/NSF- Amen to that!<br /><br /><br />Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-40114502267981907442020-07-13T18:43:21.055-05:002020-07-13T18:43:21.055-05:00@M.

And they don't need to get you into prison to do it. They can simply bleed you to death reputationally, spiritually and financially through the legal system. Even if the system spits you out for ultimately being proven "innocent", the whole years to decades long process will render you spiritually beaten and penniless and dependent in what would otherwise be your golden years. The process itself is the real punishment.<br /><br />This is why we will see few honest, competent people volunteering for "public service". What sane person would be willing to put themselves and their families through that?<br /><br />This is why sleazeballs who have been in the swamp for a half-century long like Biden can credibly run for President while you'll get condemned for that jaywalking ticket you got back in the '80s.<br /><br /><b>Speaking of Biden:</b> So he's decided to adopt Liz Warren's <i>"Accountable Capitalism"</i> and declare that <i>"shareholder capitalism is over"</i>. So private corporations are going to be forced to accept board members to represent the interests of "the public" and other special interests instead of the actual owners. Funny, but when I was in econ school, that was called <i>"fascism"</i>, the real kind, not the phony kind they accuse Trump of.<br /><br />And after 4 years of mocking Trump's trade wars, Biden is promising to to <i>exactly the same thing</i>, except I supposed his trade war would be more nuanced, perhaps between naps.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-41061667582968592392020-07-13T12:58:43.227-05:002020-07-13T12:58:43.227-05:00Rush was talking about the commutation this mornin...Rush was talking about the commutation this morning.
