I wish that people who come into the shop would wear a mask. Masks are mandated by the county but no one seems to give a fuck. I'd say about 30% of people aren't wearing one. I could refuse service but I don't really want to fuck my money over by alienating customers. I'm super frustrated. I found a nice pair of swings in a free pile by my house. I mounted them under my kids stilt house today, they are perfect.
I wish law enforcement would start ticketing people over mask delinquency. I wonder whether they'd be more inclined if Cheeto Mussolini hadn't roped masks into his stupid culture wars.
All we gotta do is make one of Cheeto Mussolini's best friends a COVID mask-maker. Have him talk to Mr Cheeto about how his business is hurting, and he really needs Amurrikans to buy Amurrikan-made masks - and a LOT of them - or his business is going to fail. Bam. Next day, Cheeto in an orange mask. No question.
I live in one of the most liberal cities in the U.S. Trump got 17% of the vote in the county, the city is left of the county in general. I live in the most racially diverse part of town presumably putting it left of the city (I'm not sure that's exactly true when the general populace is this liberal. I'm finding the narrative that first it's men, and second conservatives, who are not wearing their mask tiresome. it seems like it's a straight 30% across race, sex and creed. That jibes with my world view. People are fucked up pretty evenly across all the divides, I wish they weren't, I don't want to kill my mom for a few dollars or a cup of coffee.
I didn’t mean to imply it’s Republicans or men. Plenty of women are not doing masks and plenty of democratic voters aren’t doing them either (though I’d argue that people voting for Joe Biden in the primary aren’t exactly liberals). I find that In my in my area it’s mostly older people 50+ that don’t want to wear them and a few young invincibles. I just saw a post from the toxic waste pool that is next door where a 30yo Karen was screaming about masks and people had to remind here that we aren’t her friends. Clearly she wouldn’t fit the conservative male stereotype. Some of it probably is just people out for a walk who didn’t plan or remember but you can’t exactly give them 50cent masks with a 2.50$ coffee. Still my point is that while non mask wearing is not limited to conservatives that group isn’t big into masks in general and they see masks as an infringement on civil rights. That group is also in general pro police. If police start enforcing mask laws these people will also see the police as an oppressive force and join in on the police reform bandwagon which is not something that police unions want.
