People don’t wear mask because their stupid, its that simple. There is a small section of the population that cannot wear them but for the most part it is stupidity.

Some how these are the same folks complaining the economy yet don’t understand purchasing power resides in those who also are at the higher risk for poor outcomes from Covid. 20 and 30 year olds do not have enough purchasing power, it’s those 40+, the same group with all the pre-existing conditions that make those folk scarred to go out and enter back into the economy fully. How many 20 y/o are capable of buying these 40k+ American cars, 200+k homes, or restaurants that charge more than 20+ a plate.

So we stupidly don’t wear mask, whine about the economy, and refuse to take the smallest, simplest step to help reduce spread and start the recovery, a damn cloth mask. Idiots.

We do not wear a mask because we refuse to do what government tells us to do . That is right, I do not believe government has any legal authority to regulate my breathing.

This isn't about masks. It's about the fact that neither team understands or respects property rights.

Statists gonna state.

Fine you get the economy you deserve. Don’t get mad when your tax dollars are paying for more bailouts because people like you cannot get their head out their butts.

I remember when people pulled this stuff about shoes and shirts. Same tired argument of government control and rights. People whining because they want to walk into a grocery store without shoes, dragging dirty foot prints all over the stores. It was as stupid as this mask issue is now.

Get ready to have your taxes raised to pay for all these bailouts coming.

Because they're uncomfortable and look silly. I'll put up wearing them inside stores for now, but I absolutely refuse to wear them outdoors...even if I'm out in a crowd. Masks haven't been proven to completely work either.

At this point it's either wear a mask or they shut down your ability to earn a living. Those are really the only two choices. Masks or lockdown. So you will breathe very freely while they lock you inside your home.

Lockdowns are devastating for economic, mental, societal and physical health. Masks provide a way to return to normalcy. And make no mistake, the governors fancy themselves emperors so they WILL lock us down again if the hospitals get full. So given the alternative, I choose the masks.

I guess a third choice is to live off the grid. But few of us are willing to do that.
