Wear the right mask

What good is a mask mandate when very few people have a mask that actually works? Only the hospital-grade masks are effective and I don’t believe they aren’t being manufactured in America. In the two years since COVID, I have never seen them available in stores.

Windfall elimination provision

Kudos to Mary Pierson for her great letter on the windfall elimination provision where the government penalizes a person who works hard for his family to have a good living. Why must we have a penalty for working hard? This is so not right. I did not want my children raised in day cares so I took it upon my self to work hard and have two jobs, one federal and one paying social security. It is wrong to penalize me me for taking care of my family. All of you in the same boat please join me in writing to all of your senators and congressman about this gross injustice.

Wrong focus

Instead of worrying about marijuana, we should be worried about synthetic opioids.

Get the facts on electric cars

To find out information about charging an electric car, all you have to do is search the internet. Charging stations get their electricity from the same source as their lights. You can drive over 300 miles before you need a charge. At home, you plug into an outlet and let it charge overnight, like your phone. If you don’t want to give up your gas driven car, then don’t. I’m sure there was those who didn’t want to give up their horse driven wagons.

I love the Sun Herald

I love my daily newspaper. I look forward to it. For a small paper it has good local in-depth news stories. And lots of comics.
