I do know why. People love to build strawmen instead of asking earnestly and curiously what other people believe and why.

I believe the current term is strawpeople.

I love that you think I’m argumentative, but the person who posts “why do you even care about trans rights,” or the person who says rhetorical things like “how many genders are there” without actually wanting an answer aren’t.

Most of the first world, including the US has birth rates below replacement levels.
This is also a severe blow to modern economics. Most (if not all, even socialism) require constant, steady, growth to succeed without disruption. Countries that are experiencing population contraction are also facing economic collapse under current systems.

This all gets pretty confusing
Thanks for the reply Buck Rogers. Your points are sound. That being said, I will take your argument.
1. Full disclosure: I have been onboard with science and mask wearing from day one. I have argued with deniers and conspiracy theorists since the very first outburst from the far right fringes of the political spectrum.
2. So the science: Studies have shown there are reasons to believe that infection rates in planes are some of the lowest in the globe.
3. Testing ressources are sparse and need to be judiciously allocated to places where infection rates are highest, for contact tracing and isolation.
—-> So if we test in planes, we need to test in churches etc., Targets, Sam clubs, and Coscos, because data dictates that infection rates are highest there.
4. Ed was talking about domestic flying. International is a different animal indeed.
