The level of attention paid to this is likely to be relaxed noticeably in many places shortly after the election. People have had enough of this.

Do you want to try again or stick with that answer?

Gotta spread some rep around before giving it to you again.

Bottom line.

I was in my local Fry's grocery store a few hours ago. I'd walked in without a mask last week, pick up the items I needed, self checked and left without anyone saying anything. Today I walk in with a mask, nose exposed, and there is man at the self check out finishing up without a mask. I went to get two items and walking through the beer section I see a younger, early 30 something woman without a mask. I asked her, "has anyone given you grief about no mask" and she said no. She told me she and her husband have been turned away from a few restaurants so they just go somewhere else when that happens, but said they haven't worn a mask at the grocery store since it started. I said good, and removed my mask. I told her "maybe we'll start a trend" and left to check out. Nobody said a word. It's all eyewash now and most people (who aren't glued to the TV news) know that.

The problem with all of you Trump fans and your aversion to masks......is folks like Chris Christie who now can't stop talkinga bout how wrong it is NOT to wear a mask......

So go on and on and on and produce a new thread every other day -- but the day to day reality isn't matching your narrative.


Why isn't this thread under the mask thread pinned.

Why do we continually have the same otpics over and over and over and over and over again.

So, you've chosen "the rest of your life" as the answer then.

I will wear a mask on subways even after a vaccine because I don't trust the US or any other government to not downplay or lie about the next pandemic from the Chinese Communist Party.

Because people expect us to wear these stupid things forever. You want masks forever, be prepared to hear about it forever.

Hopefully Darwin might do us the favor of taking care of folks who have "had enough "

That means they are tired of living anyway, right?

Just like Nancy when she held her "Hug a chinese person in Chinatown" party, and the rest of the dems, including Xhou Biden calling Trump's travel ban from China "Racist, and xenophobic". Right.

They were over optimistic, and made mistakes that are only attributed to Trump by the left, as well?

Thanks for that refreshing admission.
