Yeah I heard Fauci finally said you don't have to wear masks outside, which is something anybody with an ounce of sense knew at this time last year. You're willing to wait around until daddy government gives you the green light at that kind of pace?

There are several thousand years of human history that say this isn't how humans work, but good luck telling that to a libertarian.
It's pretty sickening how subservient this post reads. Government bureaucrats have to just laugh their asses off with how easy it is to control the herd.

If that's how you want to read it, go ahead. Unfortunately, you have to live in the world as it is, not how you want it to be. We aren't all blessed with your level headed attitude and intelligence, I'm afraid.

The thing is, nobody is really enforcing the rules anymore. The societal end to this will be almost fully upon us soon.

The weird thing is, if I have recalled correctly, Verb has admitted throughout time that he's a good boy and has followed most of the guidance, which is all anyone is really asking people to do. He just seems bitter about it.

Lately I let my nose hang out of my mask when I'm at work of in the store.

I was at a restaurant recently where the staff wasn't wearing them. Nobody cares.

Naturally. You can't have people thinking you're a cuck.

More like I've been vaccinated and I'm not going to wait around for some fucking government mouthpiece to give me the all clear on something that is painfully obvious I don't need to be doing at this point.

Having the mask on period is stupid. Being able to breathe and not fog up my glasses is dope though.

Everyone at my job is vaccinated, so I don't wear a mask at all. We had one guy working with us who was an antivaxxer, but thankfully he left. I couldn't stand listening to his stupid opinions.

Haha, so you're rebelling by letting your nose hang out of the mask. OK. Way to stick it to the gov't mouthpiece!

I do have to function in society. Am I supposed to take some sort of stand and lose my ability to get groceries and possibly get fired from my job? Im up for a promotion!
