Seems to me the only one freaking out in this scenario is the crazy lady in the store who was yelling to wear a mask. Maybe she does have some unresolved issues. |
Ha ha. Sure. The science has not changed. The only thing that has changed is the politics. The internal polling of this issue by the Democrats must be brutal. |
Not to mention that most of what Dems are doing now is easing off state-level control while still allowing for local control. This is smart and entirely appropriate because it gives localities the flexibility to respond to local conditions. |
-1 I’m vaxxed, booster and mask everywhere, including N95 in the office. Still got covid. |
I'm not vaxxed, wear a mask when have to and never got covid. I've been every Day since this started in 2020. Have no co-morbilities and if I got covid it was asymptomatic |
Thanks for doing your part as a member of the community! |
No, Puritan Mask guy was comparing people who simply will not wear a mask indoors for 30 minutes during a pandemic regardless of store policy to selfish and careless people who don't return their shopping carts. It really is the same level of lack of respect and courtesy to others. They don't care if the cart rolls into your car door, they're done using it and left. They don't care if they are walking around asymptomatic and passing Covid. They are people who need rules to enforce being considerate to others. Nothing says that more than charging a quarter for a shopping cart to make sure that they get returned. But there are other simple acts of courtesy that people just ignore because they are an slight inconvenience. And what is funny is nobody has really disputed that they have done any, all or one of the things listed. They aren't denying the examples of which they really are more symbolic than actual, but these are things that I we all notice on a regular basis. This isn't about living in fear or checking every door for what their rule is. Just carry a mask and plan on wearing it inside for another month or two. Just be courteous. If a store employee asks you to put one on, do it, don't go citing Youngkin's "EO". Be civil and polite. |
Yup, pretty easy to do. |
Meanwhile on Capital Hill the triggered left never fails

Washing your hands is extreme? Please don't invite me to your house for dinner. |
You can thank someone who likely didn't wear a mask who passed Covid on to you. That is the whole point of mask, they are intended to first contain covid if someone has it then the mask can also offer some limited protection from catching Covid. But if someone is wearing their mask below their nose, under their chin or not at all they are breathing it out freely into God's Fresh Air for you to inhale. But, you know, mandates and all. If the store doesn't require masks then Covid stays outside. |
I care. There are people who cannot be vaxed or who have underlying conditions. And others who randomly get tough cases of it. I have a relative who died from Covid recently. And another acquaintance -young and healthy- was in the hospital for days. So, you see, I care about those people. And there are many like me (we are just not vocal about it, though we do judge you selfish, entitled types who blather on about their rights, at the expense of others' health). It's you that does not. That is the definition of selfish. |
Did the Dem Joyce Beatty tell Rep Hal Rogers to "kiss her a$$"? I mean that is a pretty adult non-triggered thing to say to a request. That seems like a very grown rational thing to do along with saying it after she told him to not touch her after he poked her in the back. I mean getting poked in the back and being told to "kiss my a$$" is a "triggered lib"? Does anyone remember this perfectly non-triggered lady who didn't want to wear a mask. I mean nothing says "I am not going to wear a mask but I will wear ONLY masks to prove how I'm not going to wear a mask." But I mean I'm the one living in fear. ![]() |
