Both sides are power grabbing. End of discussion here.

It's amazing, isn't it?

Bully #1 comes up to you steals your money, shoes, and the shirt off your back.

Bully #2 comes up to your friend steals his money, shoes, the shirt off his back, and the glasses off his face.

Folks in here logic: Look at what Bully #2 did! Why can't he be more like Bully #1?

While carrying dogs in purses in the vegetable aisle is overlooked.

Yes, be outraged! Such angry!

Next, they're going to take our guns and our homes! Just watch!

People hate a nanny state but then refuse to act responsibly on their own.

Thanks.

Yeah, they want it both ways.

That poster thinks this is all one big joke.

Until he’s on a respirator somewhere.

When's it safe to remove the mask?

What won't you put up with?

You?

I mean seriously, trying to portray the masks as some sort of major breathing impediment to people whom if they have that impediment would likely die from covid and shouldn't be out anyway.

As I have instructed other posters, if the mask is cutting off your breathing check to make sure you took it out of the packaging.

Yep, I personally favor more state and local decisions than federal given our ability to hold those people responsible at the voting booth while we may not be able to at the federal level as easily.

If people don't like what their mayor is doing...then vote against them.

Some people are being hypocritical on the topic.

P.S. I think you missed my joke about you being Italian in a different thread, I thought that would give you a much needed laugh during these events. Oh well, it amused me so let's face it, that's all that matters.

I have a cunning plan, we all just hang around infected people. That way we don't have to wear a mask and don't have to worry about infecting them either.

Interesting, isn't it. No mask, no food. Compliance. Obedience. Or no services.

My local paper had a line in it about how "shopping habits" may NEVER go back to normal. ...

"There is no science behind this..."

What? There is a GIANT mountain of science behind this. The CDCs position on its usefulness has never changed. They've said from the beginning - masks keep sick people from spreading it. That has always been true. The difference is in their assumption now that more people have the virus than don't. So best odds: Everyone wear the mask. Very simple.
(Maybe not more than half - I don't know the number, no one knows - but ASSUME it's more than half. Now the mask makes sense.)
