Nobody on the left is pushing back against permanent restrictions because they aren’t going to happen. This is a figment of your imagination.

Maybe in Japan.

But in countries like China, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, wearing face mask is to protect yourself from smog and dust especially if you are riding a moped or scooter.

We need to reverse climate change and these measures will help that as well. You have to evolve and forget life as you know it and get used to a new normal. I know this frightens many right wingers, but I think many will enjoy all the government benefits coming their way and never want that taken away.
Truly, a post based in a fantasy world.

We do not value money over life.
You realize, don't you that "money" is simply a medium of exchange? It's used for transactions for the exchange of goods and services. To say you don't value money over life is like saying you don't value food over life. How long will there be life if you can't get food?

Strange post, considering no one at a Trump rally would say what she said.

Don't be so sure. If they can find a way to "control the people" (which is one of their goals) they will do it.

How will this "control" work? I hope it doesn`t look like slavery because I`ve always been against that.
