if the argument is that we need masks to keep cannibalistic psychopaths from biting people then i would agree we should use a mask...but that isnt the argument. btw the mask being worn in the picture would protect you from the wuhan flu about as well as the average mask people are wearing
@Kaldrak
im not going to blame trump for the black swan event that is the wuhan-flu. it hit the entire planet and the economy of said planet was in free fall are you going to blame trump for the problems in the UK? france? austrailia? germany? they all had the same problems and they were also...

Bernie railed against millionaires and billionaires until he became a millionaire then the only problem was the billionaires. if he ever becomes a billionaire he will say the problem isnt the people with money but the system that allows people to have it and he should be put in charge...

i dont remember the name but there was an anime where it baits you into watching by making you think its a gag-comedy in the first episode but on episode 2 and on it swivels into a super cringe romantic drama, i think it even had one of the main heroins attempt suicide or just general...
@schlo
exactly my point when i said:
