And sick people should wear them too when they go into stores. But where is this actually a topic anyway? I've not heard much of anything regarding masks since the pandemic.
Who is banning masks?!?
Nassau County in NY state passed a law this summer https://www.nyclu.org/press-release/nassau-county-mask-ban-signed-into-law YES, there are exceptions for health, religious or cultural reasons BUT they've also used it as probable cause to search someone https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/nassau-county-police-issue-first-face-mask-ban-violation/5741363/ (it doesn't matter that he was found with a knife. My son wears a mask because he thinks his nose is ugly)
what about schizo people like me who wish to hide their identity so as to not be clobbered by AI facial recognition software?
It’s schizo to think this?! Being constantly surveilled is unreasonable search and seizure.
Remember that you're not crazy for or alone in wanting that privacy. If I saw you shooting them out with a pellet gun then no, I didn't.
You're one of the reasons for the ban.
I genuinely, seriously doubt it. I imagine its to keep MAGAts happy while completely fucking them over socio-economically.
It's also so they can target people with facial recognition.
No kidding. While on the surface the bans are about medical masks, I'm sure there's a surveillance motive as well.
who is banning masks?
Likely Trump when bird flu or mpox goes pandemic.
did he say that though?
Are you trying to suggest that what Trump says he'll do and what he does are bound by some code of honour or something? That he tells the truth in advance? That he's honest about his agenda? That he doesn't just make up shit on the spot like "inject bleach" that strikes him as a good idea at the time in his tiny brain? That's really not my experience last time round. Outside of a few ideas that he stuck with, whim and unpredictability are the hallmarks of a Trump administration. You never knew what was coming next. Why would we know now?
ill wait and see with him. hes a geriatric tv host.
He's also the most famously prolific liar on the planet. He genuinely doesn't care whether it's true, it's just not a factor for him, he just cares what saying it can achieve for him.
im aware. I just don't like jumping to conclusions.
The last Trump presidency wasn't enough evidence for you?
It wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be.
He actually had checks and balances then. Those don't exist now
I could say the same about getting hit by a car, or falling off a scaffold, but I wouldn't put myself in position to do either again...
Anti-maskers are like 6 year olds throwing a tantrum because you're making them eat broccoli.
More like because you're eating broccoli.
What?? Why, where and how are masks being banned? Like, face masks?
Yes, face masks. Republicans, largely, but some Democrats too.
Citing a flurry of protests on college campuses in recent months, GOP lawmakers in North Carolina last week overrode a veto by the state’s Democratic governor to ban mask wearing in public, with certain exceptions. As part of the new law, people may wear medical masks in public to prevent the spread of illness, but officers and property owners may ask people to remove their masks to verify their identity.
Republican Sen. Buck Newton, a supporter of the bill, said last month, “It’s about time that the craziness is ... at least slowed down, if not put to a stop.”
it's a great day to not live in the USA
