Riiight...and I've got some oceanfront property in Colorado to sell you. That site has worse formatting than even a wordpress blog, I can't believe anybody would buy into it.

LULZ. You really should just stop. Comments like that continue to show how ignorant you are about that site.

Like all liberals, you can't be bothered to research anything and need spoon fed (and like Lacius, I'm sure you'll deny the proof I'm about to lay out) but here you go:

https://www.wealthmanagement.com/industry/unmasking-men-behind-zero-hedge-wall-streets-renegade-blog

From the article:

"A former “director of contributor success” at website Seeking Alpha, Lokey said he joined Zero Hedge for $6,000 a month and received an annual bonus of $50,000, earning more than $100,000 last year. His salary helped pay the rent on a “very nice” condominium on South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island, he said. Despite the compensation, he contends that he left because he disagreed with the site's editorial vision. “Reality checks are great. But Zero Hedge ceased to serve that public service years ago,” Lokey wrote. “They care what generates page views. Clicks. Money.”

There are more examples out there of other "Tylers" raking in lots of cash but stop being lazy and do something that seems impossible for you and Lacius; which is seeking the truth.

But I guess this is all fake news and proves nothing, am I right? :) LULZ!

In other news someone driving a car today died after slamming into a brick wall. Damn brick walls are deadly. I'm no expert but that woman just looked like she was in perfect health. 1 person died from taking the vaccine. 1000 died that didn't. How about your source waits to see the actual "cause of death" before inserting foot into mouth. If the article is even remotely real.

Like most liberals, I see you suffer from a reading comprehension problem and ignore parts of statements you don't like..... that's why I put Probably just a bad coincidence: in my message.

It's obviously not a proper mask. Surgical masks are the best since... well they're made for this purpose.

BZZZZZZZZT! WRONG!

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449

From the article:

"At this time, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved any type of surgical mask specifically for protection against the coronavirus, but these masks may provide some protection when N95 masks are not available."

You really need to read up on what a surgical mask is and what it's primarily designed to protect you from.

Man, you liberals really are dense. You BLINDLY gobble up everything the lügenpresse feeds you and when faced with real facts, this is your reply:

Well if you hadn't linked it, I could've remained perfectly ignorant to the fact that such a half-assed eyesore of a "news blog" exists. Or that there are idiots dumb enough to take it seriously despite the fact that it's plastered with more ridiculous ads than most porn sites.

LULZ!!!! If you knew anything about that site, which you obviously don’t, you’d know that “Tyler Durden” is just a pseudonym that multiple authors use to write articles on there. Fun fact, some of the “Tylers” get paid around $150,000/year for their contributions.

oh shit, some of these Tylers get slightly above average software engineer salaries! impressive! for someone who complains about qualifications, you sure do like people who run anonymously who you can't verify qualifications. raise that pay to 210k+ (principle software engineer salary) and it'll seem actually impressive to people.

You and Lacius are two peas in the same pod.

Watch everyone, you're about to see a liberal do mental gymnastics to the point where his head implodes:

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/rate-adverse-reactions-covid-vaccines-already-50x-higher-flu-shot

Ignorant liberal: ..... tens of thousands have successfully taken the vaccine and only a handful of people died or had adverse reaction....... oh freaking well. A few deaths per 1K is AOK. Get that vaccine out there!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111!!111 If people don't want the vaccine, we should shoot them in the head to save them from this virus that is so deadly you need a test to know whether you have it and the survival rate is only 99.8%!!!!!!!!!!111111111

Well informed, level headed person: ..... Hey liberal, why do you want to force everyone to get an experimental vaccine (that could possibly kill them or cause them great harm 1, 5, 10 years from now) and destroy the economy over a virus that is only responsible for killing 0.10% of the population? (Based off CDC numbers and census data...... if you can trust the numbers.)

To a liberal, logic and numbers only matter when it suits them. Low deaths from the COVID vaccine is safe to ignore. Low deaths from the virus is a reason to burn the country to the ground.

I bet the same people think the Holocaust is a myth and the earth is flat.

I was typing up a reply then had to stop because your comment is just....... confusing. Somebody called into question the salary I tossed out for a writer on ZH. I backed it up. Why are you comparing it to a software engineer salary?

Did CNN or Rachael Maddow put you up to this?!

Dude, your 'surgical masks' don't protect you from getting or giving COVID to anyone!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE POINTLESS at stopping the spread of COVID!

I bet you're in the same group of people that think Bill Clinton didn't get a blow job from Monica, or that he never hung out with a known pedophile (like the orange clown also did), or Joe Biden never admitting on video that he withheld funding from Ukraine unless/until the prosecutor investigation his son's dealing with Burisma was fired. I mean, if Biden didn't do anything wrong, why would he want the prosecutor fired? If you're innocent, you're innocent.

Ah yes, the "doesn't get their news from blog sites" pod. It's a rather large, spacious pod despite the billions of people that inhabit it.

Just like the other one, you can't refute a single thing I say. Hard to refute the truth. LULZ! :)

Large and spacious.... like the space between your ears? Or like the shared conscious of all you liberals out there?

There's nothing to refute until you post some actual news or facts. "Internet rando said this so it must be true" doesn't exactly inspire any debate or discussion. You might as well be citing Reddit or Facebook comments.

1. It's not my responsibility to protect strangers.
2. I don't feel sick.
3. Logically, wearing a mask would make the wearer more likely to get it, or develop a worse condition, as the particles would stick to the mask.

Just imagine this. If everyone worse a mask, the chance to spread the virus would slow down. Not everyone lives in their own little magic bubble where they think they're the center of the galaxy.

And yes, you aren't suppose to fiddle around with the mask. You put it on, leave it and then take it off. Wash your hands and tada?

imagine thinking that posting memes is a form of argument. feels fucking bad. also, imagine citing someone's salary as if it is an actual measure of their worth, instead of just money.

except for the natural studies that have shown masks are effective for covid and the flu. sorry for your inability to research, cite sources, make an actual argument. memes don't hold up to scrutiny. find me one peer reviewed paper that shows that masks don't work. i'll wait.

Your guess is as good as mine how you're supposed to eat out if you have to wash your hands before you put your mask back on, but you have to put your mask back on to get up and go to the bathroom.

You can't refute anything I say. You have yet to post a single, factual, scientific, peer review anything that backs up your wild claims.

I'll wait for the beta testers to give it a go first, but undoubtedly I will get it by the end of the year. There's no denying that the vaccines went through minimal testing, it's actually remarkable that they even work at all when you consider how fast they were developed, but due to how novel they are I'd rather see it "tested" on a larger scale before I'm confident in it. So far I've been COVID-free due to following recommendations regarding good hygiene and wearing an actual mask as opposed to a cloth rag, so I feel fairly safe waiting for my turn.

Well if you're a liberal hypocrite like Gavin Newsom, you can go and eat at a fancy restaurant (while telling the peasants to stay home) with people from outside your household and don't need to worry about wearing a mask in between bites.
