Law-abiding people are very easy to control.
I just encountered another ‘height of absurdity’ regarding masks. My local county has imposed a new mask requirement which specifically exempts exercise facilities.
I was denied access this AM to my local gym because I didn’t have a mask. According to the gym, I have to wear a mask from the time I walk through the front door and until I enter the exercise area. This is a distance of 20 feet. After entering the exercise area, I can remove the mask. Evidently, I have to wear a mask to exit the building. BTW, a mask isn’t required outside the gym.
Don’t you wish we were still arguing about that bullshit global warming instead?
What happened to global warming? The same thing as the coming ice age, DDT, acid rain, potable water shortages, polar bear, spotted owl, ozone hole...
It’s always something... and now it’s a virus.
The sad thing is that of course government has to offer a solution, because politicians need to show “leadership.” And of course this “leadership” always comes with a price. Government agencies need to justify their budgets and are always on the look for a crises to exploit (budgets and power). The news media is interested in a big story, the celebrity experts and pundits their 15 minutes of fame. Then you have Hollywood that made 70+ pandemic movies over the years ... and it’s election year!
Remember when saying anything about global warming and what a crock of shit that was, was deemed as reckless and irresponsible? Same shit different day.
Today you are patriotic if you wear your mask.
You are reckless and irresponsible if you don’t.
You are a bad leader and poor example if you’re in government and don’t wear your mask.
These things are like all other fashions and trends in this country. Everything is taken to an extreme and it’s really more a social movement and fad than real science and rationale. Once the idea picks up steam and starts moving, you cannot stop or slow this freight train of group think and stupidity. Jumping on the tracks and screaming “STOP” only gets you flattened by a herd of hopping lemmings wearing their $29.99 face masks (worth 5 cent) and gloves.
Hey... have you joined the debate yet if this disease is actually lab created? What about the debate if this was a secret intentional Chinese attack on us? What about the debate on... Of course it all makes about as much sense and is about as practical as the debate on how much temperatures will rise over the next 5, 10 and 20 years by global warming many years past, or how many angles can dance on the tip of a pin in midevil times. I think they actually ended up burning people at the stake for that back then!

Corona virus = another mass hysteria, group think, exercise in stupidity. But don’t say that, or else like a global warming denier, you will be a bad guy. The topics change, but nothing actually changes.
It’s about obedience by whites only, by the way. Get it right.
I have to give it to them - it was a stroke of genius when they convinced people that wearing a mask protects OTHERS, not themselves. That’s totally illogical, but logic is irrelevant. It gave the virtue signalers the mantra they’ve been screaming ever since (”I wear the mask to protect YOU.”)
Obedience training in collectivism
Bingo
And pushed on to ever child in America returning to school....masked
And the writer’s name is Karen... go figure. I guess they’re not ALL bad :-)
