And one way to reduce such exposure ..... #CRBox w/ Clean Air Delivery rates greater than nearly all commercial HEPA air cleaners (both at high flow) for wildfire particles @ 1/3rd to 1/7th the initial cost and generally lower filter replacement cost. IT;s not rocket science, folks, and it works!

The credulity that The Daily and other mainstream media organizations are giving COVID revisionists is simply astounding. There are plenty of experts who would be happy (ok, maybe not happy, but willing) to provide evidence-based rebuttals, but they don't get this platforming 🤦

It's frustrating because there were real mistakes during the pandemic! But you're not allowed to have adult conversations led by scientists in this country. You need to start with the premise that "extremists on both sides got things wrong" and work backwards.

Forestfire smoke, measles, COVID ~ ALL AIRBORNE! N95s prevent the intake of harmful airborne nasties. I can remember my parents’ reaction to “because everyone else is doing it” re stupid stuff I wanted to do as a kid. They insisted on critical thinking. As an adult in 2025 I mask. It’s logical

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

When the value of a corporation can fall $100 billion -- around 400x what Elon invested in Trump's election -- based on interpersonal relations between a CEO and the President, it does rather suggest that policy isn't really based on the best interests of the American people.
