I know that at one time, the FTBA site was selling them in bulk for relatively cheaply, and they were a multi-card sheet off a color laser printer.  Individuals were then selling them cut to size and laminated, and when I asked patients about them, the typical price was anywhere from $ 25 to 50.  I just checked, and the cards are no longer available on the EBay or Etsy sites.

Hell, there's even a problem with fake service dog vests.

How do you know that someone's "service animal" is fake?

The animal is a bigger ahole than the human.

“As I’ve made clear from this podium, the president is the most tested man in America,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters. “He’s tested more than anyone, multiple times a day, and we believe that he’s acting appropriately.”

Pressed on her remarks, which were in response to a question regarding the president’s reluctance to wear a face mask in public, McEnany declined to elaborate on the specific number of times Trump is tested in a 24-hour period.

“He’s tested often. I’m not going to read out exactly how many times he’s tested a day, but sometimes it is more than one time a day,” she said.

If I was tested multiple times a day and everyone I met with was tested beforehand, I probably wouldn't bother to wear a mask either.
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

If the President can tolerate multiple tests a day with a nasopharyngeal swab, my hat is off to him.  Once was enough for me.

No, that's not what I meant at all. But [this week] the fed.gov is saying you should wear masks in public (I'm pretty sure).  If his agencies are putting that out, he should wear a mask in public as well because it's important to be seen as willing to do the annoying things you are asking others to do. Leadership 101, literally.

I have had related issues at some of my clinics: people come in with 'F**k Inslee' (the name of the state governor) printed on the mask.  They then have a choice to remove their offensive material and put on another mask, or they can leave.  And don't tell me that I am oppressing your First Amendment rights; I am not the government and you should have learned the difference in school, dipstick.

Well you're positively the worst Hitler who has ever Hitlered! Sieg what the hell, dude!

 :rofl:  :rofl: :rofl:

OK, serious question...

If they were to enter with a Soviet-style hammer & sickle mast, or one with Che' on it, would you also give them change or leave options?

Why or why not?

EDIT IN: Oh, wait, I misread your post. I thought it was you who booted Mr. & Mrs. Himler from your clinic.

Well, if someone did come in with a swastika on their mask, I'm assuming you'd boot them. Now we can loop back to my question about the hammer & sickle/Che masks hypotheticals...

Our county prosecutor sent out an email to all the LE agencies in the county saying that agencies do not have the authority to enforce it in any way.  I thought that was interesting.

I thought I saw a Don't Tread On Me mask.  I need to look for those.  We have at least a few more months of this crap.

If I actually lived around people I would get a Lone Ranger or Zorro mask.

The standard corporate is using is 'offensive' material.  In this case, it was the profanity.  If someone came in with a mask with a political statement such as I heart Che, or Mao killed more people than Hitler, we wave them in with a smile.  I sincerely hope this does not turn into a Justice Potter Stewart situation in that "I know it when I see it", leaving us to make subjective judgments on the fly, and usually by some 22 year old medical assistant.  And then I have to come along and clean up the mess.

That's what I was wondering about.  Wherever the line is drawn, actual profanity seems to cross it to me.  (I'm assuming it actually  said "*expletive deleted*ck", not "F**k", because the latter would be a lot grayer.)

Still not wearing a mask in one of the lowest density pop counties east of the mississippi that has had three cases. Out in the world I do where appropriate. Been out in the company vehicle lately and I use my turn signals and wear the damn mask. Represent my employer, not me so I conform to societal norms. Strangely, we had some employees refuse to wear a mask at a jobsite and they still have a job. I have overtime because I had to go do their work. Yet another jobsite has everyone scanned with an IR camera. Just the things you do if you want a functioning economy.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

I'm not trying to pin you down, but I get rather annoyed when people lose their minds over Hitlerism but devolve into paroxysms of love and adulation for the Commies who were, in truth, worse than Hitler by a long shot.
