    Get that mask on....will they fire you if you don't have it? Do they provide you the masks? Are they effective at stopping virus size particles? Or can you put on your cowboy bad-guy bandanna and call it good? Have you considered a Guy Fawkes mask or a Point-Break Nixon mask if they don't provide them? Interesting. Asinine, but interesting.

    I don't get it either...why is THIS the disease to freak out about?

    I don't really have anything useful to add, but GODS DAMMIT I want football season.

    I don’t I know if this is a new condition of employment. I’ll find out. They do provide masks (anything for safety). One guy saw me down the hall without a mask and pointed to his masked face. I almost pointed to my nether regions (brave words mine).

    The point-break image is attractive. But ill-advised, after that sobbing girl got arrested in Canada for wearing a Storm Trooper gig on Star Wars day (or sthg).

    There is widespread fear, ignorance, and incompetence.

    How about: “Be Smart (not Safe).”

    Funny connections arise in my mind, going way back to the Chronicles of Narnia. In the dialogue, the kids asking, on first exposure, if the Lion is “safe”. Answer: “Of course he’s not safe...”.

    He'll have my vote. Right now.

    Goddamn this is good. "A Dictatorship of Consent." The Italians remember.

    It appears that the Canadian's have the same low standard of hiring as the USA.

    Illinois republican legislators are much like the parliament dismissed under Charles I. The dismissal under color of social distancing. The consensus is that the legislature must meet in person and not by way of something like Zoom. So just now Gauleiter Pritzker has unchecked powers of edict. It's unclear if the legislative leadership can convene a session or if the governor must do so under the Illinois constitution. It's unlikely that the dem supermajority will press for one unless they get fed up with Her Honor da Mare of Chicago, Lightfoot's even worse fascism.

    Pritzker made some kabuki theater out of offering up a regional reopening that really didn't let up on the other non-Chicago regions. Now the previously quiescent republican legislators have begun to rebel.

    It is early days yet to see where this leads.

    If the Canadian cops had any balls, she'd have been beaten and arrested. This is a bad problem in Canadia. It would have been different in NYC. But the Texas media agrees with The Government"

    This is an accurate description of half of my FB feed.

    Nice to see there's still human beings presiding over the courts in some capacity as was intended.
