You are smarter than that....

Again... if you are pro business rights you would respect their request and the intent and all.

In many cases, the businesses don't have a choice. The local governments are requiring them to do so. It's a protest against the government, not private businesses. There's a few businesses that'll let me in with sunglasses, because the order says "face coverings", but don't specify what part of the face.

I respect the right of the store to stop me at the door or stop me anywhere within the premises and evict for an improper mask (or any other reason they want, including being a white male)
As I said, unless they state otherwise, the mesh mask meets the mask requirement on its face. If stores are serious and not virtue signaling themselves, they will address this.

not discussing about your country nor government... that's your problem.

I will say this... there is probably a reason why your country probably has better control over the situation than the US. Remember... open business doors doesn't drive a jump start in business... it is consumer confidence. So what you or that business man thinks is irrelevant.. what matters is what the customers' think.

And at least in NJ, they do... since they have to monitor the number of people coming in and out due to reduced occupancy.

But again... what you originally were implying and what this thread is promoting is disrespectful to the business. Capitalists respect a pro business rights stance. Conservatives I know are more respectful.

Your support for such actions is not only disrespectful but anti-business.

Thats what I thought. As they are seen in use by the general public masks for Covid are largely a placebo, fashion statement and/or virtue signaling.
Can a business require them? Absolutely, and anyone opposed should go right to front desk and tell them how you feel about the rule and/ or rip them a new one online.
Let me just plug in some alternative sentences into your reasoning here:

As they are seen in use by the general public seatbelts are largely a placebo, fashion statement and/or virtue signaling.

As they are seen in use by the general public bicycle helmets are largely a placebo, fashion statement and/or virtue signaling.

I could go on, but as someone already pointed out, just because something isn't 100% effective doesn't mean it is 100% ineffective. That's the fallacy.

Also, most, if not all business owners would still either make you change the mask in the OP (maybe even offer you one) or get kicked out. It's cute, but it wouldn't fly.

I need to find a full ski mask with nose and mouth covering, then walk into a store and shop like normal. See what happens.

I think we can all agree that we want this pandemic to be over... with that being said, can people stop stupidly prolonging it?

I agree. The people in government need to stop stupidly prolonging it.

Sounds like a terrible neighborhood with a lot of deceived people.
