@TheCobbler,
You are so stupid.
How many people couldn't feed their families, because they were afraid that going into a store would have them get arrested? I was fed mainly by my family, or I would have starved. For the longest time, since I was a shy person offline, when a sign said "no masks, no entry" I simply wouldn't enter.
Yet you haven't thought of the obvious consequences of this policy.
1. If the law is allowed to stand wirh no people defying it, this means that a mother who makes her money on tips , and is cheated by her employer, has to pay a premium (uhhhh masks do tend to cost money, unless the shop supplies them), just to shop at a store. Even if it only costs $0.30 or something, if she barely has enough to buy food without it, this represents a tax which bars her from getting what she needs. As hungry people function worse on the job, she becomes more and more behind the eight-ball until one day she collapses.
2. That's assuming the above woman doesn't collapse from rushing around with no oxygen. These masks inhibit fresh air, and breed pneumonia.
3. If they are allowed to be enforced, like Canada does, then when a hungry family of two, both of which have asthma, a strong phobia concerning masks, or a religion rejecting facial coverings, they are basically unable to shop or feed themselves. This means the store's policy has literally promoted their starvation by turning them away as customers.
4. But it also affects the business. It asks them to turn away their own customers. Suppose a store needs 100 customers a day to stay afloat and turn a profit. But those who don't have masks are turned away! If even 20 of them are maskless, this means that the other 80 have to spend more or the business is in the
red!!!
5. Worse, it sets up the ability for Karens to police businesses, by suing them for making them feel unsafe. Back to the shop above. Suppose only one of these were maskless, but it amounted to a mother who was shopping for her family of twelve (also two carts). They make the store more than the combined total of the other 99, so it's a small exception that the store was glad to make. But Karen, seeing this, calls the police or lawyers or whatever. The small store is shur down.
6. Oh yeah, and these mandates even get in the way of trucks shipping goods! As Biden insists stubbornly on these truckers (the most conservative backbone of our country) being masked or vaccinated, it first threatens to have trained workers fired in favor of untrained ones, and second creates a supply chain problem that directly feeds into inflation. If trying to phase out gas and oil for electric didn't already do that. The charge time for these batteries is ridiculous.
If stores close BECAUSE people don't wear masks, it is entirely either their fault (they're doing something wrong here) or the government's fault (for making stupid laws that punish small businesses).
There is no disease. It's a cold. Hospitals that are clogged as you say, are clogged entirely by nervous hypochondriac types. There is no apocalypse.
