It is beyond my understanding of why people resist such a simple thing that may just save the life of people you love.

The Governor has access to experts who study the virus and transmission, and makes her decisions based on their knowledge and advice. And I'm supposed to listen to a bartender?

Kate Brown has obviously lost oxygen to her brain from wearing a mask 24/7- there is no evidence to support this mandate! Post the link to recall Kate Brown please :)

Isn't a little fresh air considered a cure for most conditions that affect the anxiety driven hysteria caused by much fear of illnesses around us all? Put a mask on mandates!

Just left Salem hospital yesterday around 3:00pm. Er was a ghost town. Rooms absolutely were not at capacity. Nobody waiting for a bed, 5 nurses in dad's room cuz they had nobody else needing care! I've seen this first hand! Our Government is lying right to our face, and we are believing them!

There is a large body of compelling evidence in the form of peer-reviewed studies and meta-analyses that masks are not effective and in fact dangerous to the wearer. https://swprs.org/face-masks-evidence/

There is NO science to support it. It’s the kind of things banana republic dictators do. No one should observe it and you should demand that the governor provide the scientific justification.

Because its a way of control. The CDC " the Center Dictatorship Control" seems to have all the answers but they don't. Masks don't ever stop this covid 19 disease let alone the delta variant. These Demon- Rat Liberal Socialist all want control n there up to No Good.

21 people on a cruise ship acquired COVID 1 died. They were all vaccinated. Vaccinated people can be infected by another person who has been vaccinated.

Common sense can and should be allowed to take precedence. The longer we do this, the longer it takes to achieve herd immunity. Florida is literally 2 to 3 weeks away from achieving herd immunity. We have no date in this state...

This virus will continue to mutate and it will kill you eventually or it won't vaccinated or not. Will we be arrested like they are in Australia? People can't even leave their homes without an approved reason. How deeply will you bow to the supreme leader?

Each person's safety and well being is up to them to maintain. If you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, wear one, if not, dont!! For those that are worried, the masks should keep particles out of your face just as much as keeping your particles publuc.

I will wear a mask to show respect to the buisnesses I frequent because I don't want them getting fined. That's the extent of my mask wearing. If I need a mask for something I would just stay home.

It is insane. For those who claim "it isn't any big deal to wear a mask", you are a liar. NO ONE wants to wear these because they make you sweat, you lose out on expression, it restricts your breathing, and it is little more than a political statement outside.... no proof of effectiveness at all.

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!
