>It's time to face the fact that masks have zero effect on the transmission of an airborne virus as contagious as the current variants of Covid -19.

What logic are you using to come to that conclusion? Just because people are wearing masks and there is still covid transmission? Covid transmission might be 100x worse if they didn't wear masks.

The Polo logo is flat. If it were actually printed on the coat it would wrap around the person.

Think about this: if the person is shaped kind of like a cylinder, the middle of them would face us directly and the outer edges of what we could see would be facing to the left and right at 90 degrees. The logo would look normal in the middle, and get squished together more and more as it got closer to the edges. But if you look at the P, you can see there is no perspective and it just cuts off.

The phrase "reduce, reuse, recycle" is supposed to be employed in that order. If you jump straight to "consume like usual, and if you toss it in the recycling bin it's carbon neutral", you are doing it wrong.

(Of course this ignores the fact that corporations are by far the biggest polluters, but when talking about the failures of recycling, it's important to point out recycling is supposed to be the last resort!)
