This isn’t the place to debate what kind of mask is or is not effective. If you have questions about masks, please see the CDC, for example https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html

So today I learned that Virginia has a Communist Party (noticed it when looking at John Brown related tweets). https://twitter.com/VACPUSA/status/1466493111975165962?s=20 I wonder if they're Maoist, Trotskyist, or Stalinist? lol Also nothing says a party like a Communist Birthday Party! https://twitter.com/communistsusa/status/1465727358695059460?s=20 Sorry there is just something funny (since they're mostly harmless, these days, unlike the fascists') about people still trying to unironically convert the US to Communism. Honestly kind of wonder how many just are edgier DSA's.

How the gently caress do these cretins think that gas companies are going to give away cheap gas when they can and will charge what the market will bear and not a penny less. Idiots want a capitalist economy until it’s something they need to drive their brodozers around the block.

There is a local business owner in SE PA who has purchased multiple billboards blaming Biden for: empty wallets; high gas prices (in a state with the highest gas tax in the nation, IIRC); empty shelves; and 'Making the Taliban Great Again'. The last has that poorly shopped pic of Biden's face on a foreign fighter with an RPG. All of this is slightly amusing, because the way they fall apart at critical thought. It would be amusing, if the consequences of his ilk aren't still killing people. Last week, an old friend lost her husband after 30 days in the ICU. He's dead because he was stupid and wouldn't listen to reason and we have people making a pandemic political. 3 kids left without their Dad. A wife left alone to cope. All that heartbreak spreading like an infection. And it's happening tens of thousands of times a day. It's maddening.

Prices fluctuate, vary a lot locally, and they aren’t high compared to the last 15ish years. So don’t claim credit, good or bad! We need less gas subsidization to further encourage the transition from ICE vehicles, plus an updated vehicle-miles-traveled tax to replace the gas tax to account for the transition to electric. A lot of localities fund their transit and road maintenance via gas tax, so things will start starving as more and more electrics take to the road (and electric cars are heavy as poo poo, adding to road maintenance concerns).

It's not a good thing when oil companies are just using them as an excuse to roll in piles of money they'll pay minimal taxes on. Now if that money was going to taxes, sure, use it for infrastructure spending, but there's no reason $70/barrel oil should be costing people $4/gal at the pump besides oil companies loving the consumer. Oil was $200/barrel a decade and change ago and gas was the same price it is now, maybe slightly higher. With inflation figured in, we're paying less than in 2008.

Gas prices are virtually meaningless but because its so easy to see the price changes it's an absolute harbinger of doom. Imagine that family drinking 12 gallons of milk a week, but a guy lamenting how his 87k pickup costs too much to fill up

I don't remember how liberal those 59-60 Democratic Senators were back then, but the current crop of decorum-brained Democrats are nothing compared to those dickbags. JOE LIEBERMAN was one of those 60 Senators. Those majority-maker centrist-brain types were loving toast in 2010-2012 no matter what they did and they were so delusional that they thought centrism would save them. I really don't blame Obama for that poo poo, I blame the cheddarbrain centrists that made up that Senate supermajority. They probably wouldn't have even had 50 for an "abortion is legal" bill.

Find a group that actually fights, maybe one that can force some action out of the Democrats. Supporting the actual party apparatus is like giving up, but also setting your money on fire at the same time.
