When you can't work or buy food in any store. You're consent is being mandated

Hint: I know what I just said.

I'm not sure that you do. It's "Your". "Your" consent is being mandated, not "You are" consent is being mandated. Also you needed a comma before that, not a period; "your consent is being mandated" was the apodosis to the protasis "When you can't work or buy food in any store". It doesn't make any sense as separate sentences.

However, the main problem here is that the claim is simply wrong. Your consent isn't being manufactured, by definition it can't be mandated, and no one needs your permission or consent here.

Correct his grammar all you want but we're rapidly approaching a future where a handful of banks and payment processors can decide whether you are allowed to participate in the economy or not.

Actually we've been at that point for a while now. But more importantly, your comment is a non sequitur. We were arguing about whether mask laws are an example of "manufacturing consent".

Oh no, did I make a fallacy paradox. Oh jeez. Oh no.
