There is no value attached to your actions when it's required. We judge your actions when you have a choice.

I honestly don't care if I get called selfish for wanting people to wear masks.

Most people don't care, they are only worried about themselves and their feelings.

This is meaningless to me. I don't give a **** about people's feelings about masks and safety. This is about science and economics.

You can laugh all you want, but it's clear from the very basic questions you have been asking me in the last 30 minutes that you have not thought this through at all. You really asked me an erroneous question that relies on masks providing 100% protection for the wearer, and even if they did, there are still other externalities. Just sit and ponder the topic a bit and you'll figure out the answers without my help.

That's the most striking thing about this "debate". I truly understand if you don't want to wear a mask and I don't think the government should mandate it. I do think as a matter of decency you should at least wear one when asked to . . . even though I think a lot of it is a feel good exercise with a lot of gaps in logic. But the number of anti-mask people who don't seem to have thought any of this through beyond "You're not going to tell me what to do" and then justify it with things that are just obviously wrong blows my mind a little. By the same token . . . if you're super conscientious, don't look down your nose at people when you're somewhere that's minimal risk.

I don't see what's so hard to understand.

People that refuse to wear masks where they are required are the same as the people who "Karen" others for not wearing one when it's not required. Both are azzholes.

EXACTLY! Everybody just needs to shut up with the value judgements and do what they think is best for them.

Just how is not wearing a mask being selfish? To me demanding people wear masks so I FEEL protected is 100x more selfish than not wearing a mask.

The point of wearing one is to prevent spreading it to others.

It's just a really, really dumb hill to die on for the MUH RIGHTS children.

I think environment has a lot to do with the way people think on this. Aren't you in Atlanta? I'm in Phoenix. Everybody wears masks here now because it's mandated, but at least half the people were wearing masks before the mandate. I wasn't sure what to think about anything (the science was really bad and confusing at the onset) and I admit, I didn't wear a mask at all at first. I think it's easier for someone like me to choose to wear a mask because it's happening around me and it seems normal. Also, I've traveled the world a bit and that normalized mask-wearing.

When I went to visit my parents in small town Utah, nobody was wearing masks. My Dad's best friend and his whole family got COVID and they were miserable. So my parents know it's real and they still don't wear masks and it's because few in their town do (probably the libs from the college). If you go to a restaurant there, the workers have masks and maybe 10% of the customers do.

Few if any were wearing masks in the grocery and hardware stores during the peak of the outbreak, how many mass infections traced back to those places?

Look, IDGAF if you want to wear a mask everywhere you go. IDGAF if your bar requires masks to enter, so please extend the same courtesy to those not wearing a mask where not required.

Problem is that a big chunk of the mask crowd does actually GAF because dinguses like you are only contributing to this spike and ultimately hampering the economy.

Just wear a damn mask and stop being a baby over something so incredibly stupid.

Dingus, I do wear a mask when required. Unlike you I respect a person's/businesses right to make their own choices. I don't complain about it and don't bitch about people who wear them everywhere they go.

I live about an hour south of ATL but I travel all over the place and I think you're exactly right. People will do what they see other people do. Some of the anti-mask thing is people just not wanting to look different which probably is what is contributing to the spread in some rural counties where the spread doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

I respect your right to be selfish. I really do.

You should respect my right to call you out. Even you have to see how utterly *stupid* it is to compare it with complaining about people who wear masks. Lol. Like, I know you're balls deep in your position on Dumbass Hill here and it's too late to scurry back to reason, but come on... you can't be blind to how retarded your comparison is.

See? I can pretend to give a **** about rights too.

You DGAS about rights. And I'm not being selfish, you're just virtue signaling.

Prove where I don't give a **** about rights or cease this charade of being a big, fat, blubbering baby.

If anyone's virtue signaling, it's you with this candy ass don't tread on me shtick.

That tool wants a national mask mandate and wants people to quarantine when they visit his state . . . yet 3 days ago he spoke in Savannah, GA and didn't wear a mask despite a city ordinance.

I think there should be a national mandate against incompetent governors putting old sick people back in nursing homes

I'm the blubbering baby? I'm not the one whining like a little bitch because people won't wear a mask when they don't have to. That would be you.

Oh, is it whining to call you selfish?

Look, I get that you want to show off your mid-life crisis mustache and that it's weally, weally hawd to do something even an inch outside of your comfort zone, but if I can do for 12-14 hours straight while working, you can do it when you go into the store to buy fish sticks and off brand toilet paper.

I'm sorry you hate the thought of the economy surviving this. While I think it's really ****ing stupid, even for you, I support your right to help collectively curbstomp one of the few shots we have at getting through this in the next decade.
