Are face masks coming back in your area? ▪ We took my mother-in-law to a restaurant last night (in Arkansas, USA) and all of the employees wore masks, but none of the customers. It was strange, like the employees were robots, or second-class citizens. I felt sorry for them.

Germany here. Today I noticed that way more people than usually were wearing masks in the mall. I guess the propaganda machine has been revving up lately.

Talked with an aunt the other day, she's like a minion of the media. She has no clue of anything but always a firm opinion, based solely on what she sees on TV. At least I can talk with her. She listens but her TV is so much stronger than my reasoning.

Boomer mentality right there. My parents are starting to question what the television is telling them. But they bought the Covid lie hook, line and sinker when the lockdowns and other mandates were in place. And when the war in Ukraine started, my Dad was angry and wanted Russia to be isolated from the world until they paid Ukraine back with interest. I pointed out to him what America did to Iraq and Vietnam, and he agreed that America is just as bad as Russia. Then he went back to whinging about "muh Russia bad" while doing business with America (we're Irish). He’s in his 60's.

The worst part is, that the younger generations are just as bad as the boomers, if not worse. Simply replace television with Tik Tok and Reddit. At least my dad opposes Ireland joining NATO. For a while my sister wanted us to join.
