I swear to God, y'all, Spokane people are like this! I used to have a friend in Spokane who owns a 9mm and talks to aliens from the Pleiades, and has black helicopters buzzing her house all the time, and demands that prospective gun owners must pass mental health background checks! That's Spoke-A-Loosie for ya!

Also, if someone has a disability so bad he or she cannot wear a mask for a few minutes, why would that person want to be out in public in the middle of a national disease epidemic?


And I don't think you guys know what Nazi means.

Be convalescing at home, naw, not necessarily.

And who are you to tell someone else they shouldn't do their shopping at a time and place convenient to them?

Such an attitude tells me you only need to look as far as the nearest mirror to see what a nazi might look like.

We'll see.

My-Not-So-Little-Pony is a very typical Spokane nutjob, who is almost wearing her own mask!

Oh yes, the old medical condition excuse, ooh and you can't ask me about it. ADA. ADA. ADA. It's just an excuse 99% of the time and we all know it. Just another Karen on an anti-mask crusade.... If they really have a medical condition, they should be at home letting someone else do their shopping.

He listed many measures they employed at a national level, and not one of them included closing businesses (i.e. lockdown).


If interested, you can look up what they did. But along with that, people in Taiwan didn't see wearing a mask in public as an assault on their personal freedoms. They just did it.
I may look that up and weep. As you know, we do not have any leadership at the national level that could of contained this virus so the economic effect wouldn't be so harsh. Also, the cultures in these regions care more about their societies as a whole than then "individualistic" American. This may end up being our downfall...

It's not leadership at a national level that's the problems, it's pretty much the Constitution that won't let our leadership become dictatorial. Every one of us has the ability to do the right thing, and no amount of "what leadership says" will effect those who don't want to go along.

Why?

Because you say so?

The law says otherwise, like it or not.

Or are you "racist" against people with disabilities? Your post kinda comes off that way.
