i have a suspicion that this murder yesterday is why cdc backed off masks. [View all]

it became very clear very quickly that if we were going to mandate masks, someone had to enforce that.
making retail workers and rent-a-cops do it was going to get people killed.

i was SOOOOO disturbed to find out how many people didnt care if i died. not strangers. neighbors i had known for 20 yrs.
you can make people give a shit, and clearly way too many didnt.
