This place is full of straight up brainwashed communists. I guess the whole free and decentralized thing kind of lends itself towards that crowd, but these people are fucking insane.

Ok I’m not even from the states, but you should be able to get to Washington DC in less than a day from North Carolina. Hell, anywhere on the east coast is within 5 hours from a huge metropolitan centre

Spoken like a true Liberal.

If it weren’t for the government dicking with the internet, the social media aggregators wouldn’t have given up linking to news articles.

Now you just expect them to “play ball” or else.

What do you do for a living? For many, wearing a mask while working is a recipe for guaranteed heat exhaustion. I’m not subjecting myself to that, and if the illness is anything at all like the last time I had it, it was a goddamn cold.

Wearing a mask in a hospital full of people with compromised health and all sorts of contagions floating around is a really good idea.

Wearing a mask outdoors in the summer time on a construction site full of other able-bodied people is just fucking silly.

Id rather be sick for a week than wear a mask doing physical labour.

The workers would rather work for tips. You can hide a lot of income if your wage is primarily cash.
