    OK fair enough.
    Hire Musk spaceships, glitter the suits, put them on and then form a circle in space around earth and start dancing around singing who ga-ga ga-ga (not to reference Queen or Lady Gaga) , granted the singing will not travel in space but you can feel it man. Also an inner circle that will hurricane their hands trying to prevent any particle of light coming to the atmosphere. Again push it to Greek traitors they will pass it as tourist attraction and put it to the tax budget and to our pockets.

    How about we put tens of thousands of competing internet satellites into orbit instead? Yes, it won't have the high energy vibe that your suggestion would bring, but it has the added advantage that people are already working on it.

    I must be missing something here. Is this about reflecting the suns rays or something else?

    I guess if the side of the satellites facing the sun were reflective it could make a difference. But I think I'm missing your point.

    If it was a joke I'm sorry, it sucks to have to explain a joke.

    It wasn't so much a joke as a comment on the competing clouds of satellites that are going up. If they have solar panels, then those would be facing the sun, and would at least block or reflect the rays of the sun. A few thousand won't really do much of anything...but those numbers just keep climbing.

    The fault doesn't lie with any of you. Perhaps it lies with me or perhaps not. Perhaps if I were more eloquent, I could make you understand or perhaps our worldviews differ too much for us to ever understand each other.

    Three weeks later and your still not taking responsibility for what you said.

    It's not "Perhaps it lies with me" It does lie with you.

    No your example wasn't clear, it was just an unsupported claim. I have a lot of family in their 20's and 30's. If I made this statement they would think I'd went crazy. Though they probably wouldn't say it out of politeness. That's my unsupported claim. It's true but not proof of any type.

    So yea, COVID was a hoax, one of the greatest hoaxes of the 21st century.
    There's nothing generational about that statement.
