The mandate has been lifted in Mississippi but most stores and businesses still require masks. In those that don’t, people still insist on wearing them. It’s remarkable but in a bad way. Local restaurants are opening indoor dining areas but national fast food restaurants..... nope. One of these companies will be the leader in reopening. The rest will be followers. Enough with the excuses. What good does it do to lift a mandate when businesses and the population insist on obeying mask mandates that are no longer imposed? Check on your favorite places. They will very likely disappoint you.
Uh actually freedom is fragile. We were warned about that by numerous founding fathers, and history has shown it repeatedly in other nations. And we are watching it play out now. Just a year ago there was no question that we could go to church on Sunday and enter stores without masks. What about now?
You need to stop thinking you are smarter than the founders of this country just because it's 300 years later and we have Iphones. We could all wind up in gulags, our children can grow up being monitored by facial recognition cameras on every street corner and having a social credit score like in China. You are arrogant and ignorant, a dangerous combination. Your freedom is ALL that matters. Don't be one of the idiots who only realize that after it's gone. You don't have much time left on that front.
I response to my question "This is still America isn't it?" a female cashier responded "This isn't about freedom, it's about safety" This happened in mid December and I haven't been back to that store...
Yes freedom is that fragile, because it's not about "just a mask." It's the larger issue of the government forcing people to wear a mask. That is a breach of precedent, do you understand that? Having governors decreeing by executive order, and issuing massive fines through the health department, is a breach of precedent. It sets a new standard for governmental power. Once things like that start happening and nobody stops it, guess what? It doesn't go away. We've got Biden telling us when we'll be "allowed" to have independence day, if we're good little boys and girls. This is NOT what a free country looks like. It will continue to get worse from here if people like you keep giving them your consent.
The slippery slope is not a fallacy. It CAN BE a fallacy. It is not a fallacy to say there's a slippery slope between taking opiates and becoming an addict. That's not a fallacy, it's a fact. The government claiming powers during emergency and not giving them back is not some potential thing, it is an exact playbook that they've been using since before either of us were born. Get smart about your FREEDOM, it is very fucking precious mate. Stop being a dipshit liberal and start looking at real facts. Covid is a non-sense boogeyman virus. 99.97% survival rate, no flu deaths in a year, NIH says masks don't work? Use your head and stop taking being an American for granted. Being an AMERICAN means what it means because people stood up for their freedom. It can just as easily mean something different in 100 years if people like you don't wake up and smell the coffee, SOON.

I don’t.

Who said it, was it Ben Franklin? "Whoever exchanges freedom for safety will have neither." Or something like that. ( Phone fagging. )
