Wearing a modified, more breathable, mask makes the statement that you’re OK with being one of the sheep. F the masks. F the Karens. If you’re forced to wear one at a certain location, the mask should have a defiant and clear statement printed on it. (My doctors like mine.)
I have not worn a mask in over a month. I am in NH. I have had one confrontation waiting in line at a place to order lunch. I stood my ground and the twenty something concerned woman backed off.
FYI, it was another customer. The owners of the establishment did not say a word.
My wife goes to confirmation dog shows in MA. You are REQUIRED to wear a mask to participate in the dog show. You are required to wear one to enter the building. They check your temperature and give you a wrist band.
So, in these cases where you are FORCED to wear a mask, this is an option to consider.
I was on Hampton Beach route 1A strip yesterday with my son having lunch. I would guess that 80% of the people did not have masks on. The only people wearing masks were the employees of the restaurants and other businesses.
Also, I had a TRUMP 2020 cloth mask I wore until just recently. :)
