14. I'm not asking you to keep me apprised of your work schedule

You don't seem to have understood the point of my comment.

BEFORE covid-19, how many weekdays were you typically spending at home?

SINCE covid-19 are you spending more weekdays at home?


Obviously your schedule has changed. That would seem to be the most important variable here.

You weren't spending all week at home before, and now you believe that there is some unusual amount of air traffic at Willow Grove because you are home more often to see it.

Now there are, and certainly have been, these bullshit memes on social media with stock footage of tanks on trains and other nonsense, include a picture of a Drexel ROTC exercise in Philly, being used to suggest that there are some large scale military maneuvers going on.

One of the reasons why it is obviously bullshit is that it is not possible to conduct any sort of large scale military mobilization in this country without a lot of people knowing about it because their families are directly impacted. However, people who do not seem to have any connection to military families think that the US armed forces live in some kind of enormous bubble somewhere, so the only way to know if something unusual is going on is through entirely subjective assertions based on changes to the circumstances of the observer, or social media bullshit.
