If Covid shutdowns and mandates return in 2024, what will be the conformity VS resistance level?

It seems the MSM is starting to make large hints that Covid amd the mandates and even shutdowns may return in time for 2024 elections.

In 2020, the vast majority went along with shutdowns, mask mandates, and even vaccine mandates.

I believe a lot of people feel some regret for their level of compliance in 20 and 21.

So, make your predictions of how the population will respond if the MSM Nad government narrative in 2024 mirrors that of 2020.

Why wouldn't it be valid? It sounds right to me. You are 18% less productive working from home.

1. I don't live in India.
2. I don't work in a data entry job.

People ask that again and again despite Excess Deaths being in the same sentence.

I was working on a time-critical assignment yesterday for a client presentation next week. Between Google Earth aerial imagery and highway data available in my project files and online from USDOT and State DOTs.

I think it's not an issue for employees who are self-motivated and highly disciplined and for small companies.

But obviously for large organizations like the federal government, they need to return to the office and be accountable to the public they work for.

Why should compliance in a business be 100%? I assume you also believe compliance with every other government edict should be 100%?

I’m talking about compliance with a mandate imposed by the business, not a mandate imposed by the government (even if the business imposes the mandate under government orders).

If the owner of a business establishment tells me I must wear a mask to enter the premises, I either wear a mask or I go somewhere else. That should be simple enough.

Fair enough, but I don’t know why you’d assume anyone in the government is accountable to you just because they’re working in a government office.

But the businesses aren’t imposing the mandate, the government is. Business becomes the enforcement mechanism for the government. But hey, it’s only a mask mandate, forcing people to comply with a nonsensical charade, it’s not like they are telling us to board the cattle cars.

U.S. passport delays may be four months long — and could get worse. Here’s what to know

Just one example.

That's between the business owner and the government. I will always come down on the side of the business owner in that kind of situation. And I did -- throughout the whole COVID fiasco. I went out of my way to patronize businesses whose owners fought this outrageous government overreach.

HOWEVER ... When you see a sign on the door of a business establishment that says: "Masks Required for Entry," you have no idea what the owner of the business is thinking. Maybe he's doing it against his will, or maybe he's doing it because his customer base of dingbat Karens and simpering, cowardly men told him they wanted him to do it. In either case, it's not up to you to be openly defiant against that mask mandate on someone else's property.
