"San Francisco Mayor London Breed has unintentionally made the case against the indoor mask mandate she imposed on the city's residents, all while attempting to justify her own defiance of the rules she had imposed."
"No, I'm not gonna sip and put my mask on, sip and put my mask on, sip and put my mask on, eat and put my mask on," continued Breed. "While I'm eating and drinking, yes, I'm gonna keep my mask off." When she goes to restaurants, Breed said, "same thing, I'm leaving my mask down while I'm enjoying my food, I'm not putting it on, taking it off…you all know that's not realistic….We don't need the fun police to come in and try to micromanage and tell us what we should or shouldn't be doing. We know what we need to do to protect ourselves."
Except, she is one of those who give the Fun Police their marchng orders.
"Now that she's been caught red-handed, Breed has succinctly communicated that the indoor mask mandate isn't necessary for a venue filled exclusively with vaccinated people to operate safely. The risk of breakthrough infection is small—and even for those unlucky vaccinated few who do come down with COVID, they can rest (or gallivant) much easier knowing their chances of dying from it are infinitesimally small. Breed has full power to end the mandate now that she has realized how silly it is in practice and now that she has rightfully rebuked the concept of sending fun police out to micromanage how adults enjoy themselves."

TO Mask or Not To Mask
A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.”

That right there is called a false equivalence.

Re: TO Mask or Not To Mask
I think not.
If someone in a leaderhsip positon is going to set rules for everyone to follow, it is incumbent on them to strictly adhere to those rules, especially in public.

Re: TO Mask or Not To Mask
That's irrelevant. It's still a false equivalence whether or not you choose to acknowledge it.

I do not believe the rules she set makes allowance to stand up and dance without a mask if "the spirit moves you."

I forgot to use my blinker once and nobody got hurt. That's why turn signals are useless and a waste of time.

I drove home drunk and didn't hurt anyone or damage anything. Therefore, the drunk driving laws are just one more law taking away my rights.hammerofglass wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 12:32 am I forgot to use my blinker once and nobody got hurt. That's why turn signals are useless and a waste of time.

Hey man it's not my fault your party decided to declare war on public health measures during an airborne yiffing pandemic.
Maybe this is just a leftist trick to get y'all to NOT wear your masks so that Republican voters die faster. Ever think of that? At this rate, we can take back Texas.
