Exactly. What a bag of s*it this is.
If people want to mask into infinity, I couldn't care less. Do what you gotta do. As for me, I would welcome the latitude to decide what is best for me.
No wonder people are going tilt. They understand the hypocrisy and are beyond fed up with having all these stupid, useless mandates shoved down their throat.

Or alternatively, these flying Eric Cartmans could behave like every other adult who knows damn well these mask mandates are performative bulls#%t and lighten up instead of rigorously enforcing a stupid pointless rule like everyone's well-being depends on it when in fact its only known purpose at this point is to satisfy the vanity of the administrative state that can't stand the idea that some of the little people don't gladly welcome their Overlordship.

I have no sympathy for any of these petty hall monitors who are exasperated at treating grown adults like toddlers and are surprised when they chafe at being patronized.

That's why the Administrative State should be disbanded. Defund it yesterday.

The mask mandate also applies to passenger trains, busses, marinas, transit hubs, terminals, and indoor areas at airports. Also applies to employees and visitors in those facilities.

Do you really need to have the difference between voluntary and involuntary explained to you?

I wouldn’t want such an explanation from you. I believe you argued that the vaccine mandate was “voluntary” because you have the option to quit your job and become destitute.

It was not being enforced much on both of my flights this past weekend (Delta--Detroit to New Orleans) much at all. I also saw many people in the airport, particularly in New Orleans, not wearing masks and nobody said a word.

Got upgraded to first class (woo!) and from reaching cruising altitude to initial descent the flight attendant was constantly serving drinks/meals/snacks, so masks were down pretty much the entire flight. The flight attendants also had several unmasked conversations in the galley amongst themselves.
