It’s the Law!

The line in the McDonald’s drive-thru was long, so I parked and went inside to purchase a coke. The fascist mayor of my county decreed about a week ago that everyone needs to wear a mask. There was a sign on the door saying that a mask was required for entry. “Where is your mask?” asked the McDonald’s worker that I recognized as one of the managers. “I don’t have one,” I replied. “You have to wear a mask. It’s the law,” she said. I mentioned that the “law” had an exemption for “an existing health condition.” She ignored me and said again, “You have to wear a mask. It’s the law.” And then added: “It’s the law.”

No, it’s not the law. It is a decree made by a fascist. It has no penalties for violating it. And it says that “all businesses are encouraged to prohibit entry of each person who is not wearing a face covering.” It doesn’t say that “all businesses must prohibit…”

The only way to stop this mask nonsense is overwhelming refusal by businesses and the public to wear masks. Unfortunately, I am seeing nothing but overwhelming compliance by businesses and the public.
