Regular people in USA does not have proper healthcare, and then convicted criminals and prisoners will get full transitions and payment of their medication on the taxpayers cost. Everyone in USA is so opposing taxes being used on healthcare, and they are fine with this?

The problem is no one cares about reality, only their shortsighted perception of reality. People aren't wearing masks correctly anywhere. Regardless of the question of whether or not masks work at all, people are 1000% guaranteed, fight me, wearing the masks in a way that makes them either ineffective, or will end up spreading the disease more than blocking it, such as when they constantly readjust the mask, touching their face, which spreads more germs than the mask could block. The mask requirement in US states/stores isn't to protect anyone, it's to make people think they're being protected, which I think actually is worse than doing nothing because now people are in a false sense of security about the whole thing.

We don't care about not spending tax dollars on stupid shit, only what the media has told us is stupid shit, everything else is fair game. No one cares about protecting rights, only the rights the media has said need to be protected, everything else could disappear without notice.

Now that you touched the subject, it's interesting to point out how many people believe in the misguided notion that all masks are made equal. A cloth mask will never offer the same kind of protection that a cirurgical one provides, never.

Hell, depending on the fabric used in the manufacturing of the mask it's less risky not to wear one lol

Case in point, this pandemic has been a breeding ground for tyranny everywhere, with governments using it as a excuse to peddle contact tracing apps that collect extensive data on the lives of people.

The question is: will they delete it after the pandemic?

The most likely answer is no, as like history teaches us, the ones that gain power are always unwilling to lose it.

I just hate when people try to compare surgeons wearing surgical masks during surgery to some dumbass wearing (and repeatedly touching) a bandana while grocery shopping. The two situations have nothing in common, and the bandana may be doing more harm than good. Rather than looking at what will actually happen if a rule, "masks required," gets implemented, they're looking at an ideal that will never happen in America. They assume that simple rule will magically turn everyone into a robotic sheep that does what it is told correctly or into a Karen that screams about "muh rights" but it isn't that simple, and every law, rule, or policy must be analyzed to ensure it doesn't backfire or create more problems than it solves
