I literally walked by a testing center in LA two days ago that was for pedestrians but please continue making assumptions about what I know.

I spent YEARS taking public transportation in Philadelphia and you know what? It sucked massive donkey balls.

This is why I bought a house in the suburbs. Public transportation is for the poors (and New Yorkers I guess). Sorry not sorry.

The testing centers are free for the most part.

Eh I'm on the opposite side of it seeing my future mother in law raise a 5 to 7 year old through this whole thing and at first she liked it cause he's more of an introverted quiet kid so it seemed like it helped him at first but then we started to see small social issues with him start to come out and likely due to him basically missing his entire first and second grade. Kid is probably irrevocable fucked up now. The mask thing is just more icing on the cake.

Working from home the most I had to wear the mask is flying somewhere and I fucking haaaate it. And I say this as a trans person that enjoyed for once not being misgendered in public. The truth is me and my very liberal girlfriend are fucking over it and we don't care anymore. We're triple vaxed and fuck it. We've been going clubbing at maskless down town LA parties for months now and haven't caught it yet.

The fact that kids have to do more than I do as an adult is baffling to me. I legitimately feel bad for them.

I have gotten so many covid tests in the past two years. Some of them are drive thru only but most don't care either way. In DTLA proper the testing centers are mostly for pedestrians.

Everyone talks so much shit on USA car culture but our testing centers are typically a drive thru where patients are isolated in their cars thereby protecting everyone. Patients swab themselves and then hand the sample over through a few inch opening in the window.

The effects of climate change are mostly natural disasters that come and go as normal which the United States deals with regularly. That entire argument is tired and irrelevant. The United States for all it's faults is also likely keeping the most accurate statistics on the whole thing and gave the the mRNA vaccine to the world.

2 out of 3 of what you brought up has nothing to do with covid.

History doesn't stop just cause there's a pandemic.
