I can't breathe in them. The box says they are not intended to stop viral infections. I will not go back to wearing one.

Max DeYoung

I have been in stores several times in the past few days, and have only seen a few people with masks on. However 60% of the people responding claim to be wearing masks. I think people are lying, or there are a lot of closet maskers. LOL

N95 only when I'm working with Walnut or doing fine sanding on other hardwoods. I do use plastic face shields when ripping boards on my table saw, for protection from flying debris. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Christopher Watson

Never again, didn't do anything last time, why would I ware one now? Besides I got both shots, so done with all this!

Lisa Gore

Why would we? They are proven not to work! It’s science. I choose not to enter that medical care system. Our Missouri constitution protects my right not to. Look it up.

Sports betting app companies now control all professional sports outcomes.

Trump is still your President

The referees are determining the winners. The NFL has become a giant money laundering system. There is nothing there for me anymore, but I have a lot more time with my lovely wife, and our friends.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Fred

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

JIC CoMo

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
