    Well shit, it was inevitable, for the last two weeks I've been getting about 10 telemarketer calls a day.
    That's double of what I got prior to Covid19 shutting them down.

    Scam calls are on the rise too, although they started during the shut down.

    Same thing here. When I call the number back (caller ID), I get a message that the number is not in service.

    Yeah, they spoof (fake) the numbers so they can't be traced by the average user. Gets around the Do Not Call list too, sadly, because you can't report them.

    Perhaps decreasing divorce rates?
    IDK, or maybe another hard time for dealing with family daily issues.

    I think that it's making bad family issues worse.

    Usually I hit the red button and don't answer. Sometimes I'll play with then for a minute or two, then tell then to get fucked.

    There might be some good news. Several sources are reporting that the flu is down sharply around the world. There is an effect where a virus infection inhibits other infections. The scientists aren't sure what the cause is but the math is real, and they are sure it isn't just counting covid as the flu, it is a real thing and colds are also down.

    Now, for the downside. If we don't get those other infections, our immune system gets weaker, making us MORE vulnerable to other stressors.

    Another upside.... remember Greta Thunberg?

    She's a puppet to the world's liberal environmentalists.
    They have cheated a young girl of the ability for reason and programmed her to further their agenda.

    A complete idiot, just like her older sister AOC.

    I don't think they are sisters, I think Greta is an actual clone of AOC.

    They hit the COVID Jackpot !!
    The bill included “$500 million for Israeli cooperation,” with a large percentage of that dedicated to missile defense systems.
    The “$500 million for Israel” triggered outrage on social media and was trending online around the World,
    Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Monday.

    The whole bill was full of pork for other countries. None of our politicians are for the good of the USA.
    The ones who are half decent about the future of our nation are too mealy-mouthed and too weak to
    stand up and say something isn't right.
    At this point in time, our politicians needs to start putting the American people first lest we end up fully
    losing ourselves to another country or way of life.
