I’ve been saying for years that the US is like 50 separate “mostly sovereign” countries that are members of a single federation - kinda like the EU.

I’m from the country of Kentucky. We just cancelled our trip to the country of Washington because of this sort of nonsense. The countries are growing apart thanks to this lunacy. That’s fine with me. Let Oregon, Washington, et al deal with the government they chose and I’ll deal with mine. We’re much more free here, which is why I left Washington state in the first place 10 years ago.

Even within a town. In CT the Governor left it up the towns/cities to mandate masks and a few banded tougher, in secret, and implemented/announced mandates all at the same time. We are now back to Karen’s on FB screaming how they went to XYZ Store and saw mask less people in their. Back to the division that tore communities appear in 2020 in the blink of a eye.

So far, it is only in some Dem run areas. We have enough sane Dem and Rep run towns where I can go one town over and go out to eat without having to wear a mask to the table, then take it off once seated...because science.

I actually called Town Hall in a nearby town and began to say how I had a great dinner at a local restaurant, etc. and of course the secretary thank em for taking the reasonable precaution of mask wearing, etc. until i mentions it was at a local chain who had several locations, but none in that town. All of a sudden they were upset I dint support muy local businesses.

I told them to stop treating everyone like a plague and I’ll return. They hung up on me. That mandate was put in pace with 6 cases over the course of week in about 12k people, or something like a 0.0006% positivity rate.
