[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potentially unpopular opinion-when it comes to a family’s livelihood, health and the education of their children, you’re darn right ultimately people are going to be “self-centered”. You cannot possibly expect people to continually sacrifice for 2 straight years without finally saying “Eff it. When do my needs matter?” Some of the loudest and nuttiest voices screeching about “selfishness” have completely unrealistic and deranged expectations of what people should endure without complaint. Sorry, it’s not human nature to voluntarily give up your family’s sustenance and mental health for indefinite periods of time.[/quote] Mask mandates were not costing people their means of sustenance. And I will not prioritize your lack of resilience over someone else’s life.[/quote] They were just the icing on the cake. Let’s not forget school closures, job loss, financial struggles, social isolation, etc. Just like you breathlessly proclaiming how “self centered” you learned everyone was, we also learned how completely awful and dismissive your kind was towards the hardships others faced these past 2 years. Job loss, virtual schooling, suicides, etc. All you see is Covid, when it became so much more than that. But you obviously don’t see it that way because you probably didn’t have the same experiences others did. I genuinely don’t understand the way your brain works. I wonder if you’re a troll after all this time because you’re practically a caricature of the worst kind of Covid enforcer. [/quote] Ahh, the drama llama of the anti-masker. Masks didn’t cause people to lose their jobs. Virtual learning didn’t cause suicide but it may have prevented school shootings. Funny how virtual learning was sooo bad (and I know kids who thrived with it and those who struggled) and yet almost every parent who suddenly became a teleworker never want to go back to the office. In the long run it wasn’t the worst thing that kids got a little glimpse of their future working life. All of that said, your selfishness lies in the fact that Covid was devastating for 900,000 Americans and their families but you were unconvinced by it. I’m sorry you had to wear a mask. [/quote] Yet many of us wore our masks when mandated and got vaccinated. I can’t help it that you’ve decided to invent your own parameters for what is morally good, beyond what is reasonable and necessary. I could invent my own parameters for goodness and scream at you about how lacking you are, but that would be crazy. You don’t seem to realize that. And by the way, not everyone had the chance to telework and happily manage their kids’ online school. It’s blindingly clear you got to ride out Covid in comfort. Others did not. But their struggles don’t matter to you. However, they made the choices they had to, and I doubt they give any cares whatsoever to what some sanctimonious online nobody thinks. [/quote] Schools that got ahead of the curve years ago by providing Chromebooks adjusted just fine. Perhaps worry more about what your school system is able to provide and forward thinking than spending your time looking for books to ban. And by the way, I had to work in the public, I did not get to telework but I don't begrudge those who could. [/quote]
