Emphasizing "low-cost" & "dramatically improving air quality." There are no air cleaners that come anywhere close to a classic CR Box wrt effectiveness of particle removal and effectiveness per $. And there are abundant studies by research teams across the US that have come to the same conclusion.

Correct statement, and also correct if "almost" is removed. 🙂
This is so cool. I take it those are Corsi-Rosenthal boxes? One clean-air advocate told me C-R boxes move air better than almost anything else.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that Trump threw the people under the bus, who tried to throw the unnamed staffer they claimed posted the racist video on Trump’s Account, in the middle of the night, under the bus, that live in the White House that Trump is destroying. Still…

If you still support this guy you are a racist, plain and simple.
Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer?

Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn’t see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it.

Reporter: Are you going to apologize?

Trump: No, I didn’t make a mistake. It was a take off The Lion King.

I was radicalized years ago by getting added to a food writers forum in which I learned that the food writing industry is so godawful that many recipe writers end up just making things up or estimating because they aren't given time to try out the recipes. It's not you!

Really pathetic how the MSM is repeating White House claims that a staffer posted the racist video after

*they denied earlier that it was racist
*did not name staffer or say they'd been fired
*post was amid dozens that he sent out
*post came at midnight. Was this staffer in his bedroom?
