That was only N95 masks which are the ideal ones to use but not even close to the ones a majority of people used even after the mandate. Telling people not to mask at all is not the same thing as saying “use cloth masks so that n95 masks can be preserved for healthcare workers”.
34·2 years agoI actually kind of doubt he was forced at all. These guys love cops and I could easily see them informing just because they believe the cops are on their side.
Im not insinuating they influenced it at all. I won’t say it’s out of the realm of possibility, but ultimately what does it matter if their highly placed informant didn’t give them enough warning to get ahead of Jan 6th? They may or may not have encouraged it but I doubt they were unaware. Was their inaction incompetence or were they complicit?
Yeah I went back and checked. Wrong about that, but I’d like to reiterate that 100k is simply the lower bound of the range provided. It does not mean that any or even a majority of them were making exactly 100k per household. In fact, 15% are listed as 300k which is more than the amount of people attending making less than 30k. Then you also have to consider that households that do make 100k are far more likely to have single-income earners than households only making 50k.
Yes! We agree on this. It’s not some crazy conspiracy that a leader of the proud boys was working with the FBI, whether by choice or not isn’t really important.
I’m saying that there were, factually people working with the FBI in high ranking positions of the Proud Boys and it’s not really conspiracy to say so. You can read as much or as little into that as you want.
The side I’m on is that Proud Boys, whatever their origin or how many of their leaders were FBI stooges, all belong in fucking jail.
What argument do you think I’m making?
He was working toward the goals the FBI directed him to because the alternative was jail time. I don’t really care about wether he was on the payroll or not.
Do you think that maybe the threat of imprisonment is better than a paycheck to motivate people to do as you ask?
Remind me what happens to informants who refuse to cooperate with authorities.
Yeah man any attempt to illustrate a point with hyperbole and metaphor is clearly just whattaboutism. Do you think middle class people aren’t seen as rich to people who are below middle class?
How long did you shop around for statistics that didn’t just cite US census data?
You guys keep bringing up cost of living like it’s some cool trick that lets you claim poverty while making nearly three times the local average salary.
If Bill Gates spent most of his fortune to live like a college freshman in a space station would you be calling him middle class? It would cost him several times an average Americans yearly salary just to eat puréed meats and shit in a closet, so clearly he couldn’t be considered rich anymore.
The average salary in NYC is 36k
What about the people in NYC making 30k then?
Tell that to people making less than 30k and describe the look they give you
If 100k isn’t rich to you then you have lived an exceptionally blessed life. Also “more than” doesn’t mean all of them are making exactly 100k
Is this the same nestle slave labor case that went to the Supreme Court where nestle was successfully defended by former Obama solicitor Neal Katyal, or have they done this more than once?
