They’re still pushing forced mask requirements here in TX. I’ve seen no one at a store in quite some time who wasn’t wearing a mask. It seems to be so easy to get everyone, including a lot of conservatives, to fall in line.
Chalk it up to mask resistance fatique. I went 4 months without budging, even got banned from an entire shopping area, for not complying. The business owners, being wielded by the Statist mandates, have the upper hand. You either comply, or leave, or get arrested for criminal trespass. Unfortunately, I have to eat. I feel my way the best I can, going maskless where the Karen's aren't going to flip a lid and call the cops, and just avoiding those places that do. I also need my haircut at least every 6 weeks, and barbers aren't going to provide service without one. The latest reinforcement of the scamdemic "risks" just makes this harder - again. I can remember when a month and a half was what we were expecting. That was in April.
You know it's bad when a school crossing guard gives you crap for not wearing a mask. I just smiled and said it's not required when you're outside.
I couldn't go into much more detail, because I don't speak Farsi.
