NO stores require them. Not even hospitals or doctors' offices require them. Thank God! I see a random unhinged person every now and then wearing the cloth variety like a security blanket...

It's pretty funny how NYC is doing many many stupid things. One major thing is these stupid bike lanes in streets that are only making streets more dangerous than ever. But people say, "ok, no problem" and accept it. Not to mention the banning of plastic bags too that make shopping all the more difficult for us. But we accept that too. But masks, we throw a hissy fit over.

There are many crazy things going on that we should be standing up for, and masks should be at the bottom of the list because it's rather petty.

So why are we only fighting about masks? People like you fought against masks and that's why mandates have been dropped. But, the bike lanes and banning plastic bags are still ongoing because everyone is accepting it and so, the government wins on this.

ITs not like you can protest a bike lane being built and rip it up with a bulldozer....

Bike lanes are more life threatening because they are actually making it more dangerous since bikers don’t adhere to traffic regulations. Masks are not life threatening. So even if you say they are useless, it’s also not harming anyone.

Yes of course. If people speak up, things can change. I mean, I could protest. But government isn’t going to change anything for just one person. More people need to speak up!
