    I wonder what people like the obvious contrarians look like in public. You know, the anti maskers, who are mad at others for wearing and supporting the use of masks.

    Do they speed on the wrong side on the street into oncoming traffic? Are they entering grocery stores undressed without shoes? No mask no shirt no shoes no problem?

    Where do they live? Every place I’ve ever lived had rules. Pay on time, be quiet, etc. One wonders if they have jobs, bay bills, do absolutely anything in society?

    If so, you’re already being told what to do on a daily basis.

    Use roads in a way that is safe for everyone. Pay bills on time. Dress to be in public. Earn money. Pay taxes. Use businesses during open hours...

    You’re already being told that to do at every turn. What the fuck are you talking about? “Don’t tell me what to do.” Are you serious? lol

    Your entire “free” life is just you trying to make time for yourself after fulfilling all the societal duties it requires to be “free”.

    -

    I guess using that freedom to yell at your fellow humans, how health and safety are not your concern, is the last bastion of a sad lonely person.

    How the fuck is it possible that Covid-19 became an argument about mask “freedom?”

    Americans are being hoodwinked. At the heart of the problem is Big Tech, the govt, the inept president and the news media.
