I didn’t realize how weird it all is that we’re wearing masks in public.
For the first time in almost a year I went in publish and held my head up high wearing no mask.
We got many stares and glances.
In the end we were ratted out by another customer who pointed at us and said “They should be wearing masks!” An employee asked us to put our masks on and we complied (we were in line checking out).
We all need to start doing this. Civil disobedience.
I live in Florida. I believe that is in the United States of America. That may be the difference. I live in a state whose governor understands the freedoms of the people. I feel sorry for anyone who resides in a state that does not have a governor like ours, but I believe freedoms, and the freedom to protect myself from the severe medical and psychological effects of a mask is one I take seriously.
You have this backwards. Private property is private property. Anyone should be able to remove anyone from their private property for ANY reason. The government mandating private businesses to serve customers is the opposite of freedom.
So, if I am medically unable to wear a mask, and I need to eat, I can't walk into a grocery store. I have allowed stores that are not essential to exercise their rights to require a mask. I exercise my right to not venture into that store. The whole discussion is ridiculous because COVID is not a killer. The first strains were, but whether they have weakened or whether the first doses were manufactured as killers, I have no idea. We cannot live in fear. We cannot live forced to reside behind a mask and breathe in CO2 rather than oxygen. We have to stop this COVID vaccination crap, and we have to just put an end to this before our world tilts off its axis. In my lifetime, I have watched insane individuals put forth insane ideas, and it has led to this. I believe that more people will die of COVID related depression or disease and cancers brought on m mask wearing. I believe dementia will increase, and the life population will be decreased just as they have planned it to be. So don't tell me that a Publix or another supermarket who has foods and goods necessary for life has the right to deny service because crazy people believe a little harmless cold is going to kill them. Doesn't work for me, and it shouldn't work for any American. These are times created by individuals to destroy our freedoms. Seems to me it has worked quite well on you.
What are you arguing here? Are you arguing against how I think things should be, how things currently are, or how you think things should be? You're being incredibly vague.
Great. Why are you mentioning this to me? It's irrelevant to our discussion.
What discussion? The one currently between you and me, or the one between you and stores?
That's not true at all, the virus was never more lethal than it currently is. The only thing I can figure is that you're conflating increased testing rates with the virus itself becoming less lethal? That's just ignorant.
Great. Again, entirely irrelevant to this discussion.
You've entirely missed my point, and your ignorance is overwhelming. The irony that your position is one of freedom is astounding. You're supporting the removal of private business decisions in favor of mandating others to work for you. You're stripping citizens of privatization in favor for big government by arguing that companies should not be allowed to make decisions for themselves.
You don't know the first thing about me. Stop acting like this - learn how to read and listen to others in a conversation instead of just being an upset asshole to everyone you meet, learn the fundamentals of freedom, and stop acting so arrogantly to suggest that you know anything about me from my incredibly brief comments to you.
Thank you for that great analysis. Glad I could waste your time on the explanation.
