Just because Gov Parson said MO is done does not mean that MO is done. My friend just died on Jan 28, 2002 of Covid. It is not over yet.

Still a 0.02% death rate for humans that means 99.98% chance of living unless you get a vexine and then life expectancy is going down for certain cohorts. The vexines are more dangerous than Covid.

The American Institute of Stress reports 120,000 people die every year as a direct result of work-related stress. And this is only work related stress. Financial stress is the leading cause of stress. Don't worry and live longer.

According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. My doctor says don't worry about everything and you will live longer and be happier.

0.02% chance of dying from CV-19. While there are risks, the whole fear porn was dying of Covid. Even regular flu DR is lower than the main stream media says. side effects from the vaccines are worse than Covid side effects. Altering DNA #1 among them. Noone needs Covid/Flu vaxs not effective/unsafe

We did all the things we were told to do before, and it didn't stop Covid. Masks didn't help. Keeping kids out of school and closing down churches, etc., didn't help. Covid will be with us. We need to learn to live with it.

I bought a pound of ground chuck and a case of beer yesterday, at a large supermarket. Because of the large number of other patrons, it was considered a Covid related incident. However I survived, but the ground chuck went down.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
