Truly you have shown yourself to be an opponent of government mandated masking. You have not made or even attempted to make any case that wearing masks does not reduce viral spread. Reducing and slowing the rate of spread was the sole reason for mask mandates. We always knew that we all were going to be infected sooner or later. But one thing is correct. There is no point in continuing the discussion. You are never going to change or give an inch in your opposition to mask mandates no matter their degree of effectiveness.

If the mandate of NPR is to report facts wouldn't republicans be excluded by definition?

“Investors are fading on green energy investment funds due to worries about the sector’s ability to grow and the possible return of former President Donald Trump to the White House, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing analysis conducted by a firm called LSEG Lipper. Funds that invest specifically in green energy companies and products around the world saw investment outflows totaling $4.8 billion during the first quarter of 2024, the largest amount in a single quarter on record, according to Reuters. Meanwhile, the S&P Global Clean Energy Index has tanked by about 10 percentage points this year while the S&P 500 Energy Index — a fund that features many oil and gas companies — is up by more than 16% this year so far.” Looks like the money is doing the talking

Never said it. But let’s say the editorial staff at NPR consisted of 87 Democrats and 500+ independents and zero Republicans. The point you are unable to wrap your brain around is that would still lack diversity. (I’m starting to believe I am conversing with Simple Jack)

Great, you have an impressive resume. (note: I'm not being sarcastic) However, I have yet to see you post ANYTHING that supports your 'masks don't work' assertion. Remember a couple posts back, you asked if I would be able to decide if someone was an 'expert' in their field? One thing I didn't mention was 'supporting data'. A true expert in a particular field can and will provide data supporting their position. This is pretty generic, but it has a fair amount of authority behind it: https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/prevention/masks.html

Well, yeah. That too. I've seen suggestions that Greene, Johnson and a few others should be prosecuted under the Logan Act.

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers
tkhayes replied to Phil1111's topic in Speakers Corner
turns out that Trump was trying to cover it up as he thought the Christian conservatives would be upset that he had an affair with a porn star while he was having a baby or whatever the timeline was. Turns out that the christian conservatives did not give a fuck, as we have found over the years.... they have no morals and can justify their authoritarian goals because 'god's plan' or whatever other bullshit they believe. Trump should have just said "yeah I fucked the porn star" and be done with it, would have saved himself $130K+, a felony conviction, which is coming soon enough, but I expect there will be a month of jury selection, calls for mistrials, perhaps even a mistrial thanks to several jurors who no doubt will be rabid trump MAGA types, and so on. the justice system is a clown show being run by the clown that is under indictment and I have little faith in it anymore. Even if Trump is convicted on EVERY felony count in this and every other trial, the christian conservatives and MAGA types will not give a fuck, it will not change a single one of their votes. -
USPS is controlled by Congress effectively and if they bothered, like so many other things, they could actually fix a lot of the issues. They effectively defunded the organization years ago by putting unfunded and unrealistic financial burdens on them to fund the pension program without figuring out the money that would be needed to make that happen. USPS stamps should be $0.80 and that would solve a lot of issues with their money problems. service comes by better fudning and the freedom to make decisions that work, as well as the DIRECTIVES to make it work Given that it is written into the Constitution, privatizing it is not actually an option, nor would I support that. The second you put profits at the forefront, the system will become corrupt overnight. It's not corrupt now, it is just shitty service. Privatizing it would ensure corruption AND shitty service. And agree with the earlier comment that it is being run by people that want to dismantle it, much like public schools all over the country. As long as we keep voting for idiots, this is what we will get

You have said you understand that people exist who are neither registered republicans nor registered democrats... yet you still insist that the sum of all people must equal republicans plus democrats only.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. As there is no point in continuing a discussion, I’ll leave you with some technology to consider. Enjoy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_detection_system https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Thomas-R-Metz-39550427

They had me convinced Russia was a credible military force. US arms exports rose to a new record last year $238 billion. With the US capturing 41% of all sales. Somehow I think Russia will have a harder and harder time peddling weapons to the world. As if they had spare capacity.

The US defense industry and military complex is a VERY profitable process.

Wrong about what? That an NPR staffer and self described liberal Democrat said that there were 87 Democrats and zero Republicans on the DC editorial staff. Or that they falsely reported that intelligence agencies claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation AKA hoax? News flash THEY DID.

Hi Joe, Does anyone know what the very first thing Pres. Reagan did when he got to the Oval Office after being sworn in? He signed an EO freezing all federal hires. As you said: yet how silent they are Jerry Baumchen

So 70k people signed something (that, as pointed out, has nothing to do with masks). How many DIDN'T sign it. Somewhat like the "1000 engineers and architects" that signed the thing about the way the WTC towers collapsed being 'wrong', knowing how large the population is counts. And yes, I may not know about the subject, but I know how to apply critical thinking. I can usually do a decent job of sorting out 'real experts' from the frauds. Sources also help. I'm far more likely to believe an 'expert' on NPR/PBS or BBC vs one on Fox. Viruses travel within droplets, which are blasted out of the mouth. Masks reduce droplet expulsion. One of the earliest times I was seriously scared of Covid was when it was discovered there was pre-symptomatic transmission. That people could be contagious before they showed symptoms. There was a story that came out of the Pacific Northwest (Washington? Oregon?) where a church choir had a practice. 2 people were infected and contagious, but not yet symptomatic. 3/4 of the people present contracted Covid. A few died. Along a couple reports of that story was a silhouette picture of a singer. Strongly backlit, you could see the quantity of droplets being expelled. Masks help control that spread. Not 100%, not perfectly. Masking, along with distancing and handwashing, the spread was reduced. One of the best indicators of the effectiveness was the spread of influenza. With the mitigation practices in widespread practice, spread of the flu was sharply reduced. One strain of the flu is now believed to be extinct. Of course, the idiots refused to comply. I've heard the term "Defiant Oppositional Disorder", which is a fancy word for 'acting like a toddler who only says "NO!!!!"'. This was seen a few times when the idiots were refusing to believe that Covid was serious, that masks were effective and (of course) believing that Covid was a Chinese bio-weapon and that the vaccines were either deadly or contained 'tracking chips. My favorite was a schematic of these 'tracking chips' that went around. It was an effect pedal for an electric guitar. https://www.guitarworld.com/news/the-creator-of-the-covid-vaccineboss-metal-zone-pedal-hoax-reveals-all-there-aint-a-lot-of-sane-people-in-this-world Turns out it was a hoax, from a guy who wanted to make the conspiracy idiots look like... Idiots.

NPR and saying the quiet part out loud
