From what people were saying on Twitter, you can't get a doctor's exception. You gotta convince the cop that you need it for health reasons. I'm sure that will go well.
Something tells me the majority of these places don’t care about surgical masks or the likes, and ‘anti masks’ generally mean covering your entire face or wearing any kind of mask along with other menacing gear like full shades and gloves.
Actually, since they’re western, I’m betting they actually do care because they’re idiots. Most Asian countries don’t care because it’s normal, and I’ve seen middle easterners, latin americans, africans, and russians (to a lesser extent) wear masks as well in vlogs and political events.
So the fact that this will kill people is obviously awful, you should be allowed to wear a mask to protect your health without having to convince a cop
But also, you should be allowed to wear a mask to protect your identity in public. Anonymity should be a right and if you want to go out in public dressed in a full morph suit to hide your identity that should be allowed.
The original mask laws in the us were mostly passed during one of the big Ku Klux Klan waves and had some legitimate purpose. Now, though, it's pure reactionary bs.
I’ll be honest I feel like there are plenty of ways to ban the Klan without banning mask wearing, and the hoods are pretty low on my list of reasons the Klan is bad
These laws are supported by the same smoothbrains who screech about government surveillance in 15 minute cities and the WEF-FEMAkorps sending them to walmart concentration camps
I'm a factory schmuck that is completely worthless on paper. I have no idea how to secure another shit job that will be willing to wait for me to find an "apartment" willing to take me in without x months already working at the job.
But yeah, most people on long Island suuuuuuuuuck. It's one of the many reasons I want to leave so bad...
Yeah damn sorry you're stuck there. I'm upstate and it's not much better than. My boss is from Huntington and she sucks. Literally the worst type of Zionist evangelical MAGA freak.
The worst people I have ever known have all come from either Long Island, Westchester, or Staten Island. They're the reason cops are so beloved in NYC.
I don't live there, but after seeing how the small business tyrants lobbied and agitated to kill as many immunocompromised people as possible where I live, I decided I would become the kind of person who doesn't go out and spend money to be social anymore, no matter what happened in terms of the pandemic.
Remember, 'stop buying outside food and make it at home' and 'stop buying the latest iphone', but also 'eat out to help out' and 'buy the latest iphone'.
The comments 'stop buying avocado toast' and 'buy avocado toast' by the same people are literally only a few years apart, lol
one of my friends reminded me of some messaging going around encouraging people to "shop our values" as a stand in for "supporting local businesses".... the local businesses, many of which took PPP loans, fired all their staff, pocketed the payout and then got forgiven... only to turn around and complain "nobody wants to work anymore" when nobody wanted to come back to their shit show.
to be clear, I do believe in the efficacy of spending money in the local community generally, but a whole bunch of local businesses showed their entire ass during COVID, and so fuck them forever.
That's my island! Love this place. Full of chuds everywhere you go. Apparently the head Nassau County official is some huge right wing culture warrior guy. Insane place.
