No one is stopping you. Go for it!
US gov: Spend 10 trillion dollars on the world's biggest military operation to prevent retaliatory attacks caused by 3 trillion in oil investments after an attack kills 3k people in NY.
Also US Gov.: Spend 2 trillion to fighting a disease that kills millions of people, give up after 2 years. Most the money actually went to business bailouts.
Interesting question, I know I was like 7-8 when we invaded Iraq, living in the south and definitely propagandized (I remember they played "Proud to be an American" in the cafeteria for weeks after 9/11)
I didn't know any better, afraid of/hated Muslims and remember asking a teacher why we didn't just nuke all of the Middle East 🤦♂️
I don't remember getting a rebuke at all.
Now I see how we were all played by the propaganda machine
Ok boomer lol
They offer some protection to you too.
Yeah I'm pretty sure fffp3/N95 masks should leave you almost completely protected in normal circumstances, outside of working in a hospital or whatever.
If worn properly, which is actually pretty hard to do. Getting a proper seal on them is pretty uncomfortable, at least for me.
Still ‘had to.’ It’s pretty disgusting to sit in a poorly ventilated classroom with 10 people coughing their lungs out and wiping their snot on the chairs. University by the way.
I mean I do when I can? I look pretty in a mask
