    I wonder if the moron who's played football for 25 years got the vaccine.

    The one with capped teeth and hairplugs.

    We know everything else about the dipshit's life, I'm sure he and his wife will have something to say about the vaccine.

    I covered Cole Beasley and his coach father in my early days. He obviously got "intercepted" by some extreme elements in recent years. He's a big family guy and seemed ripe for a dose of Kool-Aid even before he bolted for Buffalo.

    I hope Cole Beasley gets a non-fatal case of long-haul COVID tomorrow morning.

    One more amazing thing IMO ... they will take shots of some of the most harmful, awful stuff ever to put off the pain of an injury, muscle strain or goodness know what else, but will not vaccinate themselves against a virus that mired the world into a pandemic.

    Had to be bad for business when the lord and savior dramatically tossed the mask away upon returning to the White House after receiving life-saving treatment.

    Who knows what his real angle was on the masks. I am assuming he thought some of the hundreds of millions of dollars of government graft that got thrown out the window -- with the pandemic as an excuse -- would line his pockets. I'm actually assuming he did come out ahead on the various government acronym money grabs, because people a lot dumber than he did.

    But if he really thought he would retrofit his manufacturing capabilities to make masks, he's just not that savvy.
    1) Producing masks in the U.S., alone, would be a formula for failure that anyone putting in a minute's worth of thought would have realized right away. Your costs are going to guarantee you can't compete. It may work on an overpriced pillow that is being sold on marketing, not as a commoditized item, because you are differentiating your pillow -- and it's price -- based on your ability to make an infomercial. But you can't just make a mask, call it "My mask," and charge more than a mask coming in from Southeast Asia.
    2) The pandemic was a giant unknown. Nobody knew how many masks would be necessary, or what the demand for masks was going to be, and how long that demand would be ongoing. Couple that with not knowing what the supply from others -- and at what price to produce -- would be. Who knows what his real investment up front was, but whatever it was, he was making that investment without knowing whether there would be any return on it.

    I don't know who wrote that original tweet, but if they want to die so desperately, they need to expedite the process and let those of us who talk people out of such things get on with our day helping people who actually give a damn about others.
