Mask mandates will wind up killing the economy, especially smaller businesses, is that what they want? It’s certainly starting to appear that way.
That's precisely the purpose of masking society and it has been incredibly effective.
Masking society is a powerful, persistent visual reminder that America is sick and we must obey every mandate or command issued by, well, just about anyone, especially by governors, unelected bureaucrats and their agencies (CDC; NIH; AMA; WHO, et al.) and, of course, "medical experts" who have been far more wrong than right.
Destroying the American economy (i.e., capitalism) is the second prong of the Democrat/Communist/Left Party's goal of destroying the American Republic, with neutering the U.S. Constitution as the other prong. ... And still irrationally frightened, irretrievably ignorant and unbelievably cowardly American "men" and women are going right along with it -- demanding it in some places -- even at the cost of their children's mental and physical health and their childhood because "better safe than sorry" and other such stuff.
Yes...killing small business IS what they want.
