I wear a higher rated mask after being vaccinated and boosted to protect from the undereducated anit vaxers, who think their rights for choice outweigh mine for protection from them.

Obviously you are doing everything to protect yourself. I applaud you however 4 friends who were not vaccinated got COVID from fully vaccinated people. Contact with other people should be avoided.

I wear a mask even though I'm vaccinated to protect my family. A family member got covid but I didn't because of how careful we are.

I have never been an agreement with the mask mandate. I think people should be able to choose for themselves if they want to wear a mask or not

I have never believed in mask mandates, so my views have not changed. Wear one if you want, and leave everyone else alone. Wear one around those at high-risk, otherwise they are pointless. How anyone supports mask mandates is beyond me.

My view has always been that masks are useless. If you are sneezing and coughing you shouldn't be out in public. We will all get COVID anyway.

They don't make a bit of a difference. Espeically if you're not sick.

Anyone check their oxygen levels when wearing a mask. Not good. Masks are not helpful but harmful to many. No mask mandate. People should make their own choice if they want to wear one or not.

While I believe Covid is a real thing—my son had and was very very I’ll—I still think masks are useless since everybody keeps getting sick and, this is about power and control not health. Also, this is Kate Brown “best serving” her “revenge cold and slowly”

Mask do not stop the spread. I use a oxygen sensor every day for work and with the normal paper mask that most wear your oxygen levels inside the mask drop to 16.5 percent. OSHA states anything below 19.5 is unsafe. So according to OSHA any environment having less then 19.5 is considered unhealthy!

It's basic elementary knowledge that masks help protect against respiratory illnesses. Anybody too entitled to wear a mask in public during a pandemic, is only showing their true colors as an ignorant and self absorbed drain on society. Let's Go Darwin! Let's Go Darwin!

According to the science the virus particles are smaller then most masks so unless your wherin a 95 the mask is useless

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
