Poll - 95% of Americans wear face diapers.

[Occam's Banana]

So much for American exceptionalism. We suck. Where is the outrage? All I see is compliance with a few rebels here and there until I get far, far away from the urban areas.

LMAO @ 0:46 - "Many flouted government guidance ..."

That's a perfect example of what Will Grigg (RIP ) would have called "curious grammar" ...

 

[jmdrake]

You do know the difference between "recommend" and "mandate under force of federal law", correct?

Am I happy that Trump is "recommending" this nonsense?

No, of course not.

Given a choice would I prefer that, over a National Mask Police?

Yes, of course.

Is that a compromise of principle?

Of course it is...I have no other choice when 95 percent of people around me are compliant $#@!s who do whatever they are told.

How about those of us who wore a mask and refused to lockdown when Fauci said don't wear a mask and stay in your house?

Anyhow, we've been told "If 80% of people wear masks this will be over." Of course it won't be.

If you wear a mask because you want to, you're ok in my book. But I would recommend that you look into the effectiveness of masks and make sure you understand what kind of protection they offer if you haven't already. They provide a false sense of security to many who think a piece of cloth over the face will prevent contracting a disease.

I've read more studies about masks than anybody I know. And more important (for me at least) is that I looked at the countries that did not lock down and were having good results. They were wearing masks.

Edit: Here is a metastudy from 2016.

There is no second wave.

Now I get confronted in every store I go to, I say the same thing to all of them. "I have a medical condition that requires that I DON'T wear a mask". Forcefully, it works.

Pretty fucking sad when we "out comply" the goddamn Germans, for fuck's sake.

I think 95% is exaggerated.

What do most people think when they are told to do something Patriotic in a 'war against xyz':

A: "It's your Patritic duty"

or

B: "It's your Patriotic recommendation".

It's always A.


Was just commenting on main topic that did not include mandate vs recommendation aspect. But seeing that you jumped to potential future WH occupanats who may or may not get there without even mnetioning the name of current leader under whose watch $6 Trillion wara against 'invisible enemy' is being waged where he has already taken credit for 'saving millions of lives' seemed bit too partisan than logical imo.

Poll: 9 of 10 Americans Wearing Masks in Public
Hannah Bleau 1 Aug 2020
The vast majority of Americans say they either “always” or “sometimes” wear a mask in public, a Morning Consult survey released this week revealed.
The survey, taken July 23-26 among 2,200 U.S. adults, showed that 95 percent have worn masks in public, such as a grocery store, “to some extent” in the last month.
...

If taxpayers funded People's House leader in chief can manadate masks for his own/VIP's safety and no one can come near him before being tested for covid-19, what's the problem with private businesses implementing similar safety manadtes guided by official Task Force of same visinary leader to avoid risks/lawsuits etc?

Such mask politics controversies seem rather meanigless in substance and may even be clever coverup ploy by the planners behind $6 Trillion debt spenders on something that in next breath is painted as a 'hoax' by same people?

Granted many Bush-Cheney tricked/burnt gullibles are desperately trying to find a savior lately in the NYC Big Progressive Socialism groomed strong leader but two an two don't add up here. And bashing Bernie-Biden for what is taking place without even mentioning strong leadership brought to play by GOP-Adelson wing leading this $6T war seems bit strange.

Trump is recommending. Biden's Bolshies WILL mandate. There is no question about that...the only question is what else will mandated, vaccines, blood draws, tracker chips, god only knows what.

$6 trillion of "stimulus"...LOL...you're worried about that? That's a drop in the bucket...there's $30 trillion on the table, another $60 trillion in next month's mail...that's absurd, black hole sun level debt...it will never get paid.

If you are foolish enough to be holding US government debt, you will be paid in one these three ways:

We'll pay you back with inflated dollars and kiss our ass.

We'll renege entirely and kiss our ass.

We'll bomb you debt holders into atoms and kiss our ass.

Partisan? Possibly...regardless of what Trumpocrisies you may point out, what the Bolshies have in store for us will be worse.

I already addressed the debt above...that is of even less importance than freedom to most AmeriKunts...nobody cares.

But the maskhole mandates are substantive in this regard: they took a presumption that, for decades and study after study has been understood as true, i.e widespread wearing of masks in public, outside of a clinical environment, provide no real protection against airborne illnesses, and turned it on its head.

And achieved almost 100 percent compliance with a lie.

And just like the lie that having government agents grope your child's genitals will protect you from "terror" it is now a fait accompli, a done deal, the "new normal"...forever.

And that's a big deal.

I've made it clear I intent to vote for Trump in the fall.

I've laid out very specific reasons for doing so...that doesn't mean I have to rah rah his name in every post...he's done plenty of stupid shit as well...but I don't have to mention that in every post either because there are plenty of people here, like you, who are very quick to point that out, over and over again.

Bashing the Bernie-Biden-Bolsheviks...that, on the other hand, is something that needs to be done every second of every day.

On a personal financial level I will be ruined if they were to come to power...and it will be the third time in my life I will have been put out of business by government.

“We’re spending a lot of time right now in our restaurants making sure we can keep our crews safe, making sure we can keep our customers safe,” [McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski] told CBS This Morning.

“We’ve for quite some time required our crew to wear masks, but we thought that in light of what we’re seeing, it’s prudent now that we also ask our customers to wear masks in the restaurant as well,” he continued.

“If someone is unwilling to wear a mask and comply with our rules, that might be where we might bring in law enforcement,” he added.

Rest assured, there may not be a cop around to respond to rioters burning your shit down or raping your daughter...but there will be plenty around to thump your head and take you to prison for violating the face diaper fatwa.

I hate to ask...is that real?

 

[Swordsmyth]

A recent study discovered only 70 percent of men nationwide report wearing a face mask in public to help stop the spread of COVID-19. That means nearly one-third of men aren’t wearing masks around others, effectively ignoring CDC recommendations and state mandates.

Nonprofit academic medical center Cleveland Clinic conducted the study, which looked at how COVID-19 is impacting men around the U.S. The clinic surveyed 1,000 men nationwide ages 18 and over to compile their findings.

The study also found that only half of men ages 18 to 34 are avoiding gathering in large groups to protect themselves against COVID-19. For men 55 and up, that number spikes to 67 percent of men avoiding larger gatherings.

Afraid so. It's from Australia, where they're apparently determined to get back to their roots as a continent-sized penal colony.

I don't have the story behind this particular photo, but it's part of the general craziness going on over there.

If debt is no longer issue, then what's the problem with Dems/Trump team supported progressive socialism and big gummit spending to help the families and the people of America. Let fed gov grow as fat as it wants to be to help itself and everyone else. Let $6 Trillion + 'wars against invisible enemies' and taxpayers funded bailouts continue. Heck help families in rest of rest of the world too wherever taxpayers are funding spreading our values of freedom, racial equality, social justice, LGBTQ rights, womens rights etc. If money is no object, maybe all the reparations should be tackled too, BLM reparations, Iraqi freedom war reparations.. It can be really liberating having unlimited supply of money printers.

My family's business gets people complaining that they have to wear a mask, then we get people complaining people aren't wearing masks ENOUGH (putting them on after they get into the store). Health department has already called us because someone complained. Don't be a rude asshole if you are asked to put a mask on at a small business - you aren't worth their jobs. Just leave. The government is pitting people against each other. My state has already shut businesses down for not following "the law."

On one hand, screw the masks. On the other hand, people need to wear them in my store or the goons will come and shut us down. Michigan. Its a total joke. You have to wear a mask when you enter a restaurant, but you can take them off when you sit down. But you also have to wear a mask when you are grocery shopping. The wave is gone, its time to go back to normal (should have never left normal).
