Take a stance. 43 minutes ago, TimmySmith said: If we assume that possible litigation is the impetus for everything done in corporate America, then 1 and 2 are the only real options. 3 opens up the door for intimidation and harassment. Ultimately 2 is the only option. "Required" being the operative word. Mask optional. Pretty much. If I was them I would probably lean towards #1 for a couple more weeks, but would understand if they went to 2 instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't think that this mindset extrapolates out to millions? Its not that I care if people wear masks, it just makes me sad for them. It's also sad that masks became such a pivotal tool of politics and virtue signaling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the opposite of virtue signaling? Whatever that is is what one side was doing. "Vice signaling" according to a quick search. But virtue signaling wasn't the only word in that sentence. Republicans (well Trump, really) were probably the first to make masks political. Again, both sides did it. Let's not pretend it was only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 5,601 Posted May 21, 2021 Went to one of our favorite local restaurants last night. No mask requirement. Was liberating. It's like some people forgot what freedom is.

I remember when we were supposed to wear masks to protect others. We can all agree the vaxxed masker is the epitome of insanity. These people feel like like they are on the sinking ship of covid hysteria and they are frantic that it's going down. There is a crazy parent at my wife's school who certainly has even had her dog vaxxed, and she turned in a teacher last week (vaxxed) for not wearing a mask outside for 30 seconds. No one cared, including the principal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,853 Posted May 21, 2021 It was funny traveling through the airport this past week. They had regular announcements that went something like: we know that the CDC said you don’t need to wear masks, but we’re going to make you do it anyway. Honestly I don’t know how people do that for hours on end every day, maybe your ears build up scar tissue or something? Also I learned that in the Nashville airport, you can buy a bottle of Jack Daniels and just walk around drinking it. Or at least it seemed like you could. You certainly could do it with beer, and they sold liquor (not just in a duty free shop). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted May 21, 2021 I wore shoes outdoors nearly all the time during covid, except at the beach of course, and never presented symptoms. So it's safe to assume the shoes worked, except at the beach where you obviously don't need them. There may have been other effective articles of clothing as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
