    You are not being forced to wear shoes. There is no shoe wearing mandate.

    I think it's just to look like they are doing something. It reminds me of when China sprayed bleach everywhere.

    China is sending trucks to spray bleach on entire cities as the country struggles to contain the Wuhan coronavirus

    Not at all a coincidence. :)

    I make mention of this in my "THE MASK / MASK WEARING" entry in my Cult of the Mask Almanac and Desk Reference
    https://politiplex.freeforums.net/thread/68

    THE MASK / MASK WEARING: noun
    The "holy of holies" of ceremonial garb; the "aim of the game" behind the Cult's core tenet of Mask Wearing (aka, the requirement that one must don The Mask while "out and about") is to successfully instill mass fear and paranoia throughout the whole world so that all governments (and eventually their citizenry) will ultimately comply with a one-world-government mandated "solution" to their government caused "problems" that is "for their own safety", while also simultaneously implementing a world-wide and instantly recognizable symbol of said compliance that is similar to the niqāb face covering already worn by many Muslim women.

    A common mantra that is parroted by the Cult as an attempt to "justify" Mask Wearing (via virtue signaling) goes as follows: "Your mask protects me and my mask protects you"... In English, this mantra is making the irrational claim that a virus is able to enter through the pores of a mask, yet is mysteriously unable to exit through those very same pores. This belief, like numerous other Cult of the Mask beliefs, falls under Settled Science.

    So the G-7 got together and thought this would be a good idea to introduce covid the world wide over?

    Reading Trumpists posts is much like reading a Beckett play.

    The pressure to wear masks has softened here in Wisconsin as well, as our Supreme Court told our Governor (who thinks that he is a King) to stop violating State Statute 323.10 (and ignoring the wishes of our legislature, which further violates that statute). Now, masks are only mandated in uber liberal areas (such as Madison [and the rest of Dane County] and Milwaukee). Uber conservative areas would generally put up the requirement signs, but would not enforce said requirements. Some places didn't require them nor did they even bother with wearing them, but since the Statewide mandate has no longer been in effect, these conservative places have taken down the mask requirement signs.

    Personally, I've walked into stores all the time without one on, and have never had any issues (multiple fellow patrons have even stopped to talk to me and shared their support for what I was doing and the "courage" that I had). I've never once had any store employees or managers tell me to put on a mask, so I haven't done so, and even if they would tell me to do so, I still wouldn't do it (but I would gladly leave their store if they would tell me to do so).

    I purposely do not shop at Menards or Costco since they both require and strictly enforce mask wearing. Since this covid tyranny began, I've purposely shifted my spending habits (as much as is feasible) towards supporting more local and independently owned businesses. They need the support, not the multinational corporations and other large corporations, plus such multinationals are the enemy of working class people like myself anyway, so why keep supporting my enemies? After I spend up my remaining gift balance on Amazon, I would like to rid myself of them as well, although I might not feasibly be able to totally rid myself of them. Still, significantly reducing my purchasing through them is a large step in the right direction.

    and that's their right to do that, just like it is their right to require that masks be worn.

    You'll still be working under this system too... it'll just be slave labor and you just won't get any fruits for your labor.

    Though the mask has the benefit of hiding my vertical lip lines, making me appear younger...this has been the downside as well because people don't assume I'm a senior anymore and thus I spend more money eating out. I'm a healthy individual but find it hard sometimes to breath thru a mask. And people are always responding to me with "What?" as apparently my voice is muffled through the mask. All in all, no mask for me when our mask mandate in my city is expired 4/30.

    I think washing hands often is much more effective.

    Luckily I don't live in an extremist totalitarian environment such as they have in Oregan.

    There have always been people here who didn't take masks all that seriously. I have no faith at all in masks being the end all remedy they are sold to be but the social structure has been such that I have fit in where necessary. Elected officials are just like the rest of us, hate masks and seldom wear them correctly. Lot of noses peek out over a period of time. Truth is, I'm used to them now, no big deal but still pointless.

    That's when I would sometimes purposely enter into a store with my ski mask hat on (covers nose and mouth) just to show how ridiculous this mask bullshit is.

    I would make noises and act like it was a surprise or say things and act like I never heard it when wearing a mask, it's like a license to be a jerk...

    Well, in the uber liberal areas of Oregon anyway (which unfortunately set State rules)... Much of rural Oregon is probably much like the rural areas of my State, not at all concerned about enforcing such bullshit.

    The science of the "flat earth" in full force I see.

    Funny how a guy on the internet knows more than the top medical minds in the world.
    Arrogance born of ignorance would best describe such assertions as you make.
