    My reply had substance (it was about logic). Your reply here is what lacked substance. It was simply an argument of the stone fallacy (dismissal of an argument without counterargument)... iow, an error of logic.

    One need not appeal to an "expert" when asserting that the Earth is an oblate spheroid... One can appeal directly to the science itself.

    And the same holds true for COIVD-19, yet here we are.

    Predictable. When everything the American people believe is false, we will know the success of our misinformation efforts.

    And you are doing your part to ensure what they believe is false by pushing the lies you do on this forum daily.

    Are you on someone's payroll and that is why you push these lies so much?

    Some people simply cannot handle the truth Darth. You are one of them.

    Let's remember that during the initial universal shutdown from March to May when hardly anything was open except stores that sell groceries. People did not wear masks!

    So more people shopping, packed in at Walmart, Kroger and other groceries chains. Dollar General etc. Shorter hours no more 24 hours at places. People breathing, coughing and sneezing on foods and packaging. And no masks!

    The idiot Dr. Fauci told us not to bother with masks back then.

    Now it is a libo religion.

    Yup, one can appeal to the science itself regarding covid-19 as well. Unfortunately, the "powers that be" are completely ignoring such science and many people within the general populace are largely scientifically illiterate.

    But you choose to be that way, so there is little that can be done about it.

    The species of bird that is in my avatar is a catbird. They are very commonly heard/sighted in Wisconsin (and in much of North America, east of the Rocky Mountains). I use a catbird as my avatar for a few reasons:

    [1] Catbirds are my favorite species of bird, with barn swallows being a very close second.

    [2] Catbirds are rather remarkable mimics, able to expertly mimic the vocalizations of many other birds (and can even mimic the vocalizations of other animals). I was even lucky enough to capture one such mimicry on video during one of my hiking/photography outings. Anyway, my avatar (in part) represents my keen ability to mimic the vocalizations of liberals, and the joy that I get in doing so.

    [3] Catbirds are very good at thwarting the schemes of brood parasites (such as cowbirds), rejecting parasite eggs rather than raising cowbird offspring FOR the cowbird. In this manner, I view parasitical cowbirds as representative of socialist liberals, and I view the catbird's attitude of "NOT in MY nest, you parasite!" as representative of capitalist conservatives.

    Feds fine unruly and maskless airplane passengers

    Wed May 5, 2021

    (CNN) - Federal authorities are planning to fine two unmasked and unruly passengers accused of hitting and grabbing flight attendants amid a rash of disruptive and sometimes violent incidents on board planes.
    One passenger accused of grabbing and striking two flight attendants during a February flight faces a fine of $32,750, the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN on Wednesday. A passenger on a different flight is accused of hitting "one of the flight attendants with his bags" and faces a $16,500 fine.

    As long as we're ad libbing it, here, the guy from Kenya who won the NYC marathon a number of times, whenever he ran, at home, did so barefoot. Not that I'd recommend that for any of New York's streets.

    Whenever I run, I try to keep on a grassy curb for as much of the time as possible (I'm in the 'burbs). It's the unnatural hardness of the asphalt & concrete of streets & sidewalks, that wreaks havoc on your joints.

    What makes that funny is that we have other conspiracy theorists running around here-- of indiscernible footwear-- who are saying the, "big scheme," is about redistributing wealth to the masses of the working class, and so call this a Marxist plot.
    And I am prepared for you to answer that it is both Marxist & yet also a wealth & power grab by, "big government, big tech, and other large multinational corporations."

    Poor people will get handouts to appease them, but the wealth is ultimately being siphoned from the working class to the multinational corporate globalist class.
