Stupidity of masks. Ut band takes off mask to play, then puts them back on. How dumb. China take us over now.

Football Saturdays are excellent for mask stupidity. Coaches take them off in order to yell often. If (and it's a big if) the masks are even effective, they lose that effectiveness everytime they're removed. This is crap

We’re a nation of midwits that elect other midwits to rule over us. The results are unsurprising. The danger of the midwit is that their marginally higher than average iq gives them the false assurance that the small amounts of information they know about a particular subject makes them experts.

“The ‘midwit’ is smarter than a ‘dimwit’, but unable to think on their own, or hold any independently-arrived at opinion. Because of this, they become perfect receptacles and vectors for whatever propaganda is being pushed by the Political Class. You know these people, they’re everywhere. They have an uncanny, natural aptitude for learning all the correct opinions, even all the lingo and jargon, that are held by the powerful among the media, government, industry, and the medical professions. Once they’ve been programmed, these people spread this propaganda in the most effective of ways. They reproduce the propaganda perfectly in daily conversation, using the same lingo as the “experts” from whom they first heard it. And in the midst of COVID madness, the midwit truly shines. They began spreading lockdown propaganda immediately, parroting it on social media, and everywhere else they could. They spread the fear and paranoia, and did so with no critical reflection whatsoever. You’ve encountered these people. It’s impossible to talk to them, debate their opinions, or even attempt to change their minds. They are immune to alternative points of view, and of course they have self-programmed into reflexively labelling alternative opinions as “conspiracy theories”. They drive establishment narratives, and robotically attack any dissenting voices in swarms. The ‘midwit’ is usually college-educated, and might even hold an upper middle class career. Looking closely, you can see that their entire lives are merely a reflection of the views and opinions of others, of establishment culture. Their lives are not their own, and neither are their opinions. They are capable of great destruction.”

They are tested daily. There's no need for masks at all.

I noticed that. They take the masks off, blow spit and air through their instruments onto other band members without masks, and then they put the masks back on when they aren't blowing spit for several feet.

This is good. I think you can expand on this even further. I think these midwits you talk about are the people that are drawn to leadership positions in the public and private sector. I think that our society has bred and encouraged this level of thinking in a large number of people.

Now this is a pretty interesting case. I was wondering how all of this work from home stuff would shake itself out when it comes to state income taxes.

Massachusetts established a rule in March that would tax out-of-state workers who used to commute to the state for work. Officials said the rule was aimed at helping companies avoid having to overhaul their payroll systems.

Mighty white of them to collect that tax. And what overhaul? You click a button in your payroll system and change the state your employee works in.

I don’t know. I don’t claim to be a genius but I’m also not the dumbest guy in the world. I guess I’m blessed with a contrarian POV. I believe very little of what I read in the media, I don’t watch cable news and I certainly don’t believe anything that comes out of a politician’s mouth. I don’t generally believe in binary political solutions and I don’t believe in a “fair and balanced”, 2 sides of the story explanation. Sometimes there is 1 side to a story and other times there are 100 sides to a story. The goal of the media and politicians is to create a 2 sided, binary paradigm in order to sow discord between the 2 largest groups, dividing then conquering for their own personal gain.
