if One wishes to wear a mask, One may.

If a busines wishes to require masks - they may.

If it's about "health", why don't we put fines for people who don't brush their teeth?

Why don't we fine fat people until they get back into shape?

Hell, let's go full obamacare mandate and penalize people $6000/yr if they don't have a gym membership.

Does anyone here personally know a single person who was fined for not wearing a mask? The mandate was never enforced where I live.

It was a motivator, a reminder to mask up. I believe it saved lives, helped the economy, and was a minor inconvenience. I applauded Abbott when he instituted the mandate and think he was premature in removing it.

I agree. I'm interested to see what policy my gym has come next Wednesday. Many establishments have said they will continue to enforce mask wearing and social distancing.

Because the examples you gave do not impact the health of others.

Because bad breath and obesity don’t kill other people. COVID does.

Now let’s say your mask only protected you and not the people around you. How would a mask mandate be different from seat belt laws?

Do you personally know anyone in Texas who’s gotten fined for not wearing a mask? I don’t understand why this is a big deal, some kind of assault on American liberties.

It’s exactly the opposite. Some part of the population is going to be more likely to get out and do things and spend money if it feels safe. And if people are wearing masks they feel safer. Look at Ellen’s post.

That tin foil hat’s not going to do you any good.

Tiny - the DPST/ccp totalitarians made masks a signal of 'Obedience' to their 'cancel culture' authority.

They continue to demand 'Obedience' to their ideology.


We have gone about this backwards from the beginning in teh response to Wuhan virus - should have protected the people at risk, and let everyone else choose their response
Instead of devastating the economy - with the underlying marxist motivation of revolution and destruction of representative democracy.

We outlaw drugs because of the adverse effect they have on the users.

Poor diet and lifestyle choices are usually learned by children from parents who make poor diet and lifestyle choices.

1.3 million people a year die in the US due to heart disease, diabetes, cancers related to metabolic dysfunction, and diabetes.

Why aren't those lives worth saving?

Or maybe this isn't about "saving lives", maybe it's about exerting control over people. Maybe its a money making scheme. Or maybe they just don't know what they're doing.

Laws that aren't being enforced shouldn't exist.

Seatbelt laws are dumb too. My wearing a seatbelt isn't about keeping other people safe, it's about keeping me safe.

If people are worried about catching this, they should stay home and don't answer the door. Let the rest of us do the work and live the lives we want.
