What is this?

Airsoft mask.  Wire mesh, super breathable.  The very soul of malicious compliance.

I was talking to a friends grandson today who works in Kansas. Masks came up and I mentioned they are mandatory in Kansas. He said really? No one wears them. I said yeah I know.

If I go to Kansas I wear my gator which doesn't do crap. If I am worried I put on my P100 and everyone else can breath my germs.

In today's environment I can't tell 8f that's supposed to be satire or real.
Please tell me it's a joke.

Oh no it’s real. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.kansascity.com/news/nation-world/national/article244861827.html

No.  I keep seeing articles about how so-and-so didn't wear a mask and now they are dead.  The tone is almost gleeful.

I see these types of posts in lots of leftbook groups.

Yes it's stupid, but the fix is simple -- turn off your camera.

Don't give them any ideas, they will probably mandate that the cameras be on.

Jesus Wept...

My neighbor was out the other evening with his daughter and dog for their evening walk. They were going past a 3-story condo community on the street into our community and there was an Aerial Karen on one of the 3rd floor balconies screaming at people on the sidewalks to "put on a mask, don't you know there's a pandemic?"

At the best of times the sidewalks aren't heavily populated and it's really easy to distance from people either by walking into the condo association's grass or out a little bit into the street, which also doesn't see a huge amount of traffic.

I walk Seren up past the condos quite regularly and have never had a problem distancing from others when we pass them by. But that's apparently not good enough for Aerial Karen.

People are just *expletive deleted*ing nuts.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Going down the interstate I got behind a car with Ready for Hillary stickers doing maybe 40-45 in a 55 zone while everyone else was doing 65+.
As I pass the car I look over and see a Pee-Wee Herman looking guy wearing gloves, a facemask, and a full size face shield while driving.

Dude, I'm pretty sure that I saw his UTS (ugly twin sister) the other day when I was at a stoplight...

We have a woman (I think?) who works here who is pretty much covered, head to toe.

Long sleeves, gloves, balaclava-type head covering, mask, and full face shield.

I see the new dem presidential candidate Harris calling for a national mask order. Where does that federal power rest and what federal force is going to strung out over the nation to enforce it?

At first everyone will be required to wear masks. Then they'll discover that only women are protected by masks or capable of spreading the disease. Then only women will be required to wear face coverings in public but they must be accompanied by a male relative.

I missed it answering my questions.

I can go days without seeing anyone I'm not around everyday. Big city's I can see masks. That is why crowded china is used to wearing them. But little places that have seen no cases will not go along with a national mask mandate. Are they going to roll out the national guard?

I wear a mask because of my health when I go outside my little circle but how can trump do it?

I think Trump or an advisor kinda gets this, but stupid statements never get pounded in the media. Ok, you got a national mask mandate. Under what authority? Welfare clause? Interstate commerce, sure why not since it's like your sister and everyone has had a turn. But how do you enforce? Even at the state level where orders like this should happen how many have called their legislature in session and voted on what rules they want, or is it just governors talking out of their rear? Never make a rule you can't enforce.


I continue to wear a mask where required just to not hassle the service employees who are the government enforcement agents or government victims if someone decides to bust them for non-compliance. Mask today was the least of my worries with everything else they want you to wear to work in a chicken plant. Pretty sure all the tyvek they make you wear isn't the best welding clothes, but fire is fun.
