My God, just why, oh, why, paracord, do you absolutely refuse to accept as a matter of damned fact that the government requiring many small stores to close down did a hell of a lot more harm upon the economy of America than did the government requirement to wear masks? Did Wal-Mart or Target ever have to close down for long? No. But a lot of small businesses sure as hell did. Tell me something, paracord, do you NOT realize many small stores never reopened as a result? For instance, my favorite bar closed and doesn't look like it's going to reopen as a result.

The mask mandate was lifted in my city on May 14th. Yet, I don't understand why workers in my local fast food places are still wearing masks as of June 10. I guess it's a nation wide policy. It needs to end now!

Do you know what a tampon is, how it's used, and what it does? Seems like you don't if you're comparing a face mask to a tampon.


You know what's really seriously dumb? Parroting the same false equivalency over and over again.
What's dumb is bleating 'Trump drug doesn't work! People are drinking bleach, haw, haw, haw'.

We used to make fun of the left by making memes about how if Trump discovered a cure for cancer, the idiotic left would be against it.

Turns out, we weren't far off the mark.

How many people did the left kill because they couldn't get the hell over their TDS?

Lefties have blood on their hands, but want to whine about people refusing to wear face diapers.

Pathetic bunch of shills.

I haven't killed anyone...yet...

I have, however, utterly annihilated two cars, a motorcycle (long story there) and more than 99 bottles of beer. Not all at the same time, though.

Contrary to popular belief not everyone wear masks like that in East Asian countries. Those who were sick yes but not those who were not. I was actually surprised about that.

Society evolves according to choices made by the largest numbers. Those choices eventually impact options available to all. For example, because trucks and SUVs are so popular, those of us who prefer sedans or coupes have fewer options. Our choice of what to consume, is limited by the consumption-choices of others.

Markets reward mass-taste. If my choices happen to be unpopular and uncommon, they become more expensive to service. To give a trite and nugatory example, consider caviar... fish eggs. In America, caviar is uncommon. But imagine if no football tailgate party, office dinner party, Thanksgiving meal or evening-out, were to be considered to be complete, without caviar! Eventually Kroger and Ralphs and Wal-Mart would carry gallon-sized jars of caviar, at low prices. Millions of acres of water would be netted-off, to farm-raise sturgeon and whatnot, to harvest caviar at mass scales. Agri-labs might even rush to produce "artificial" caviar grown in petri dishes. As it is, I have to pay exorbitant prices for caviar, if I can even find it... all because most people, at least in America, don't like caviar, and the market for it is small. So yeah, I very much care about the personal tastes and choices of others!

If enough people keep wearing masks, stores or public establishments will have less reason to rescind their mask mandates. Masks will become integrated into mass-culture, to the point where not wearing masks would come to be viewed as uncouth, or outright insolent. Masks would return every winter, ostensibly to reduce incidence of flu. Masks would be worn as a sign of politeness, good sense, sophistication or moral rectitude.

Consider the long history of odd and uncomfortable fashion-trends... corsets, foot-binding and the like. These likely started as the free choice or whim of a certain few. But then they proliferated, and came to be expected.

I found my first local eatery that doesn't require masks this week, right here in the Bay Area of all places! Some customers still wore them while waiting for their to-go orders but I didn't and either did any of the employees. It was awesome.

I'm still not comfortable going anywhere without a mask on even though I'm fully vaccinated I'm thinking about getting another vaccine just to be doubly sure. Plus we have to do it for the children because they can't get vaccinated yet and we know that coronavirus is 100% fatal and I don't want to kill anyone by not wearing a mask. Anyone who disagrees is the right wing extremist insurrectionist who would have blood on their hands for not keeping everyone safe.
