So, Republicans want to resist mask mandates because it cuts into their business.

Here's my theory: There are businesses out there run by MAGAs who have a customer base of MAGAs. They're the ones behind the insanity of the anti-maskers, because their customers are as insane as they are. But this belief that not requiring masks will increase their customer base is where they go wrong. It is not true. A misfire of logic.

Simply, most sane Americans DO NOT feel comfortable in closed-in restaurants that are not taking Covid precautions. And if they knew that cooks and waiters were not wearing masks, they wouldn't walk into the restaurant at all.

So the MAGAs, claiming that fighting anti-mask mandates will save their business, and we should hear them because they are going to war with their own country if they can't feed their family...well shit. We are being held hostage by entitled white people who have been riding a wave of twisted facts that have allowed them a privileged ride through life for too long.

I don't know who sets their heads straight, but I know that someone has to stand up and teach them the facts of life as we all know it. Not by the way they have been allowed to operate for too long, without facing the consequences.

never could. If I know a place is owned or operated by COVID deniers, I'll assume they probably blow off hand washing all the time. I won't be trusting their food, pandemic or not.
