Having “responsible adults” in charge...what’s that like?

does the mental age of the person involved count?

Well, the people in charge aren't much better than in the US, but at least we don't have anything like tRump's cult or Fox "News".

They're culling the herd but what doesn't make sense to me is that it'll thin their herd. Why are they trying to kill their viewers and Trump supporters?

These assholes have been voting against their own self-interest for decades and now they want to take us with them.

Judas Iscariot on a Harley Davidson.It sickens you, it gives you the powerful urge to go berserk with a hatchet, but it was only a matter of time. I haven't confirmed the story, but it's on CBS News so it's pretty solid, evidently, much as I'd love to disbelieve it. Names and places and all.A 43 year old security guard at a Family Dollar store in Flint, Michigan, a family man himself, Calvin Munerlyn, has been shot stone cold dead in a dispute with customers after he refused to allow a customer's daughter inside the store without a face mask. Three people have been charged over the homicide.Never-sufficiently-to-be-execrated Jim Hoft headlines this horrifying incident as "SHOT DEAD While Trying to Enforce Tyrannical Governor's Face-Covering orders."Yes, it's all Gretchen Whitmer's fault for "forcing draconian measures" on the people of her state.Not a word in the story condemning the actual killers. Not one word. No condemnation even implied, because they were just defending their God-given freedom to refuse face masks during a lethal pandemic, I assume is Hoft's position."Draconian measures?" I'd like to show him draconian measures, Hoft and his like, with real dragons.But. It was predictable. Sure to come.

Every wingnut advocating not wearing masks or cheering this shit on should be forced by law to give 10% of their monthly income to the Munerlyn family for the next 50 years.

It's fun that you made a whole new account just to be a fucking idiot on the interwebz.

Apparently, you are FAR too stupid to make the connection between the agitation and mask opposition coming from the right wing and aggression related to mask-wearing.

Stay inside, fuckwit. You're clearly incapable of even the minimal cognitive processes required to safely leave your basement.

They don't need no stinking commie logic.

Total reported covid-related-deaths in the US are still below 0.04% of the population - and they are by a wide margin people over 80 and already sustaining 1 or more serious health complications (according to at least one study out of Italy, most deaths actually occured in people with THREE or more pre-existing conditions - https://www.bloomberg.com/n....

This is NOT the black plague or the spanish flu, and it is not going to be. It is benign for most people (99.9%, literally) - this is established FACT based on data from both the CDC and WHO that has been collected over the past 7 months.

I fear the division this is creating. People are not acting rationally; at this point these mask mandates are simply fear-mongering.

You people are willingly giving authoritarian power to governments, and that is FAR more dangerous than this "pandemic".

You want to stay healthy?

Exercise, eat unprocessed natural foods, breath fresh air, get lots of sun, avoid smoking and alcohol, and build your immune system naturally by spending time with other people and in nature. If you do these things, you can prevent diabetes, obesity, chronic lung problems, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc (all preventable conditions that increase your chances of being harmed by covid).

Many people vocally demanding others should wear masks are those who've detrimented their own health through years of lazy or irresponsible lifestyles - if that's you, that is your own burden.

Wearing a mask is just that: a mask. But not a solution.
