Mexicans get lower wages and are responsible for many black people being out of work,contributing to deaths of despair.

it cudda been a classic driving while black storied event to pass on to posterity and to statisticians keeping track of systemic racism but, alas, I am white

I had something like that happen within about 100 miles of there, going from San Angelo to Big Bend. I was going about 100 miles an hour at about 9:00 PM, out in the middle of nowhere. My radar detector goes off so I slam on the brakes. A DPS patrol car stops me and they only clock me going around 85 miles/hour, so I guess the radar detector was good for 15 mph anyway. The two patrolmen, in their 20's, were pretty friendly, probably starved for company because they must have been living in the middle of nowhere. They were on the lookout for someone who robbed a store and we chatted about 15 minutes about what I did for a living and various and sundry other things. They let me off with a warning and told me to slow it down. Then before I drove off, one of them told me they'd seen sparks coming out the bottom of my car, and he crawled under my car to see if maybe something was dragging.

I didn't feel compelled to tell him that what he probably saw were sparks flying out from my brakes when I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could after the radar detector went off. I had to replace my brake pads when I got back to San Angelo.

I love wearing a mask. It makes me feel safe and gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

I'm pretty convinced the N95 and KN95 masks offer decent protection to both the wearer and the people around her.

I hate to break this news to you but once you stop wearing that mask on a regular basis your immune system is going have to reset itself by contracting some sort of Virus or Bacterial infection in the form of a Cold, Flu or even Covid-19. The human immune system is one of the most sophisticated mechanisms the body has for the detection, prevention and eradication of disease causing pathogens. By suppressing it by extended use of a Mask and by passing it by taking an unproven Vaccine other problems may arise that maybe more problematic than the disease they are intended to prevent.

the mask thing is weird.



I got sick in nov. 2019. I have not gotten sick in 2020. first time in 10 years. In fact, I got sick twice in 2019, one in January 2019 and again in Nov. 2019. I didn't have that like in 15 years or so.

Could be because stores and Restaurants were disinfecting their premises more rigorously and maybe you were doing the same in your personal environment more thoroughly than in the past. I wouldn't give all the credit to wearing a mask.

Did you quit wiping your ass with your hand last year?

Where'd you read that horseshit from?

It's not Horseshit. What you hear from the Main Stream Media is. Healthy people don't need to walk around with a flimsy cloth mask on, that's dumb.

Is your "not horseshit" based on a scientific study?

The "experts" from the beginning said the thin masks were more for not exposing other people! So healthy folks dont need to wear them!

Straight from the experts you parrot.

Yeah, and personal experience. This Pandemic has been going on for a year and I haven't contracted Covid-19 and the main reason is I haven't come in contact with anyone who has had it. Being in public wearing a mask without being sick and everyone else around you doing the same thing really doesn't prove anything. Being in the vicinity of others in public and being in direct contact with an infected individual is not quite the same thing.

New article published today shows masks likely slow the wuhan virus spread and take pressure off the medical facilities - until vaccines help us reach 'sterilizing immunity levels.

I do abhor the mandated masks laws and lockdowns the DPST tyrants are so fond of doing to destroy small business and the economy - and make America vulnerable to their marxist revolution.



not the mentioned AP article - they are all about control of the People
