SOME have "learned" - from medical science. They then use that knowledge to decide what their risks are from being close to people singing close by in a situation like this "Winn Dixie" situation. Some are averse to either learning or medical science or both.

Wasn't BUPKISS a player and then coach of the Chicago Bears in the NFL?

Most information we have is spun. Journalism has changed. Code of ethics, not even sure it is taught to people studying journalism today. Walter Cronkite remember You Are There movies in school?

I do my best to judge all by the same rules and know that makes me seem rude to many. We all, including me, communicate is one line speed thoughts. I do my best to listen to all sides and stir it together in search of reality. It is a tough and often frustrating task. I believe that 3.7 percent increase is the CPI-consumer price index.
Other,"news?" stories say incomes are flat. Other stories say savings are up and they are predicting a good stock market in 2021.

My opinion we are fed SPUN NEWS. The three different SPUN FACTS simply cannot all be so.

If, it is fact that the CPI was up 3.7% in 2020. Few, most do not realize they will need 3.7% PLUS YOUR TAX RATE, to be even.

Opinions? As I read post here and well, everywhere. People argue about opinions that they select as being fact. Life, Liberty, Freedom, Truth, Justice, Fair. Most important terms. People will argue likely forever. One liners. There are many books, there on conflicting books that attempt to define any of them.

Crazy? Perhaps. I expect it to all fit together and be REALITY.

I read in this morning's New York Times that consumer spending RECENTLY declined for the 1st time since April in the US. IF the NY Times is correct, then my post WAS correct! And Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to You and Yours - may your vaccine be soon delivered into your arm and may you and yours live happily thereafter and above all COVID-19 ------FREE!!!!! And we can ALL listen to live music at Winn Dixie - party time excellent!

(given the circumstances). I'd add that last bit on there.

The problem is when some people who CAN do better, choose not to, and thumb their noses at everyone else for daring to try. When someone challenges your belief system, you tend to get defensive. These anti-maskers (not the ones who simply don't wear them - but the ones who make a BIG STINK about not wearing them) - are incredibly defensive. I wonder what other beliefs are being challenged, that they're so afraid of releasing from their lives.
