Thank you for letting us know. I had heard it would launch Wednesday and expected it to be out of stock faster than a 30 series GPU. Now I have it ordered which is nice since work has been having people be out of work for as little as a headache for 10 days or until they get a Covid-19 test saying they don't have Covid.

Where's the red pill when you need it🙄
T hose who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way. Affiliate Code: 3T15O1S07G

However, those tests kits were delivered to the USPS by the federal government as USPS was selected as a distribution point. The federal government is paying for the tests and the mailing to and from the recipient. Ergo, every tax payer is funding this, which is the same as anything else the federal government does.

Thanks for the link. Everyone thinks the government should do something for “free.” Like any thing in capitalism is “free.” This stuff makes me laugh. It’s like the minions of businesses running to the PPP to get all kinds of support, but are now denying employee’s COVID benefits. We never hold the businesses accountable for stealing from the tax payer, but it’s the government that’s bad. LOLZ! Keep supporting the narrative.

The point I was making is that everything in the federal, state, and local government is tax payer supported. There is no "free" as it is all paid for by the tax payers. Not making any political statement, it is just the idea that "xyz" from any government entity is "free" highlights a depressing lack of knowledge of how government functions. My strictly personal thoughts concerning your point about the accountability of businesses that receive(d) governmental funding, I wholeheartedly agree.

Yes, these are government sponsored tests being passed out by USPS as a carrier.
Think about it, your taxes already paid for the tests, and if you don’t take these tests and have to go get one from a drug store in a hurry, you are essentially paying twice, which doesn’t make sense. Just order the tests from usps and throw them in a drawer somewhere.

My wife already did yesterday and she will not let me put them "somewhere" as she knows I'll forget where the "somewhere" is in the house.

My wife does the sorting of important things, because I will have no idea where to put it, and then put it where it makes sense to me. I will know exactly where it is, and she will just say that’s not where it goes and move it to where I can’t find it.

I've looked into it a bit more, and it is funded by the federal government. I was wrong and apologize, for my remarks. Now, (Deleted for Foul Language) government USPS. Really, that's the best we can do? At least its not fedex though.

It's not the vaccine it's just a test that can detect if you have Covid-19. People who feel sick can use it and tell if they are sick with Covid-19 which will help keep them from infecting others. It's also great to have around before getting together with family for the 4th of July or other events. I feel safe when I can invite my family over knowing everyone has taken a test that came back negative that it's not going to spread the virus to cook up some steaks and burgers before lighting off some fireworks.

Far from a conspiracy theory, a lot of those kits are drenched in EO "ethylene oxide", it causes cancer so much so the area's it's produced even with protection measures residents in the surrounding area get cancer. For new medical tools that will be cleaned first it's fine, shoving it down your nose or any orifice right out of the sealed bag is bad if that is what is being used as a preservative agent is bad. You can play stupid games and win stupid prizes if you want to that is your choice. But by all means keep calling it a conspiracy to make yourself feel better.

No politics or conspiracy theories, it’s right there on the governments websites I shared, it’s a fact. Great for preservation to sanitation of medical equipment. Shoved down your nose, throat or anywhere else not so much. Stuff is pretty toxic,

I'm sorry that you feel the need to continue to argue an opinion that is supported by cherry-picking. The story of EO is more complex, and the use of EO in the sterilization of medical swabs has been proven safe around the world. It's a process that you can see in the links I provided. You have made your opinion known. Everybody is entitled to an opinion, even if you are wrong. Moderator please lock this thread
