Just a positive account for those who frequent 'new' hoping to find just one more gem.
Don't normally wear my mask on the bus, don't normally get hassled. Today city workers got on, doing their checks for train cleanliness and getting a head count for usage. I don't know why that always takes 5 peopole to do, but I remind you, this is San Francisco and commies love to pay people to do nothing.
They told me to wear a mask, I told them I wouldn't be doing that
They politely asked me to get off, I politely told them I wouldn't be doing that
They said that the train would have to go out of service then, and they had the driver stop.
After a few minutes of me not going anywhere, the train doors closed and we were back on our way.
"They aren't sending anyone to deal with him?"
"Nah, they're going to meet the train at a later stop"
No one ever showed up at a later stop to "deal with me"
I rode that train nearly to the end of the line with those same 5 workers doing nothing but sit aorund and chat the whole way. Seems SFPD had no interest in enforcing a call that someone wasn't wearing a mask on public transportation.
If I can do it in SF, you can do it anywhere.
Not here. The people who take these jobs don't think for themselves. That's not who my city would hire anyways.
They love to signal their virtue because if useless gestures are elevated above things that matter their ability to provide society value won't be as damning: I wear the mask, I get the vaccine, I raise my fist, I chant 'down with capitalism' on command, and never you mind that I work for the city taking head counts on buses, I'm WAAAY more important than you Mr. Medical Researcher.
They love this shit. They just don't quite know how to react to pushback because pushback never occurs to them - why wouldn't someone want easy virtue points??
