How times have changed. More and more around town I'm seeing signs like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/at0tt9po8f15459/Kitsons.png?dl=0
Not only do L.A. stores not require masks anymore, they're actively banning
them due to explosion in property crime. Shoplifters, robbers, and all manner
of criminals are using the excuse to wear a mask to hide their identities from
witnesses and security cameras, so now more and more businesses are refusing
entry to anyone wearing a mask.
If you're one of those hysterical mask fanatics who is still wearing one
because you're terrified of the Wuhan Flu and you think-- against all
evidence-- that a mask somehow protects you, the stores direct you to their
online mail order presence and some will allow you to set up an appointment to
shop after hours, but during business hours, you're out of luck.
Of course the same people who shouted down the anti-maskers during the
pandemic that "private businesses can enforce whatever dress code they want",
are now having screeching meltdowns about how this is a violation of their
rights.

The above sure looks like a screeching meltdown to me. Why do you care
if some people still wear a mask? What possible difference does it
make? Why call them names like "hysterical mask fanatics" if they're
simply wearing masks? I'd agree that, at this point, if someone in a
store gave you grief for not wearing one, you'd have an excuse to start
calling them names. Has this happened to you? It hasn't to me.
BTW you are going to have people wearing a mask this time of year in an
attempt to avoid catching the flu. There have always been a few such,
and I expect there will be more this year, as the idea of wearing a
mask in the store is not as odd as it used to be.

I didn’t think you had property crime in the Pueblo de Los Angeles?

Meanwhile, our mask wearing is on the upswing again. I got a terrified Uber
driver last week who didn’t like that I coughed and said she was going to
drive me home as fast as she possibly could because she had a baby girl at
home.

Well, as noted, a possible difference is that they stand a good chance
of being a criminal about to stick up the place.

Then they're going to have to shop online at an increasing number of
stores here.

Watch out for that old lady in the mask! She may be armed!
Do you think that masks suddenly became a thing for robbers during the
pandemic?

The prohibition will last until people complain and the stores start
losing money.

longer needed. (I've got my 3 shots and am waiting until the
'bivalent' vaccine or whatever it's called is available, despite two
of my family having had it - one of them 8000 miles away from me - and
a third testing positive.)
I'm being careful and when I'm in the grocery store and see a masked
person I normally keep my distance as one just doesn't need the hassle
of risking a confrontation. I've had a few friendly gestures from
masked folks who understand what I'm doing.
Anybody wanting to go postal on me will get back as good as they give
but so far so good.

you and "A Friend" have some 'splainin' to do. (Unless, that is, you're going

too.)

because I didn't give a shit enough about your shitpost to find out if
it was real or not and since you lie in just about every post now there
was a good chance it was. If you're in doubt remember I'm a wordsmith
and you're a stupid shitposting cunt. Hope this helps.
But just so we're clear when you say you're "seeing signs around town"
and post one sign, again, you're usually lying. You're more likely to
see signs saying "stupid cunts not welcome."

Ouch. I'm decimated. And still not a misogynist. Let's look at the
tally: Eunuch Derp--eunuch, check. Misogynist, check. Too stupid to
use words correctly, check. White supremacist, check. Too eunuchy to

I listened to the beginning of the new season of NYC's
Metropolitan Opera last night, and the commentators
mentioned that the audience there is STILL required
to "mask up" to keep anyone from getting sick.
So maybe all of those masking folks in CA need to move
to NYC where they'll be able to screech their little
hearts out at the people who have wised up and have
ditched the useless face diapers.

clinging on to the mask hysteria. You can also see this when they pan the
audiences of shows like THE TONIGHT SHOW and THE VIEW. (Not only do they still
require everyone in the audience to wear a mask, they can't even wear their
own mask. They have to wear one with the show's logo on it. So not only are
you forced to breathe through a damp piece of cloth for two or more hours,
you're required to serve as an advertising vehicle for the cameras.)
One of things I thought about doing to keep busy during my retirement was sign
up with one of the companies that casts extras in TV, movie, and commercial
shoots. You just fill out the forms, go in to their offices and have them take
a few pics for the file, and they text you with job opportunities that you fit
the profile for. You either accept or decline based on your schedule, the
commute, etc. Seemed like a great way to earn some extra money, enjoy some
awesome free food, and maybe end up in a movie or something.
Well, it turns out that the entire film industry is stuck in April 2020. Time
has not moved on for them. For anyone who's anywhere near a production,
they're still doing all the mandatory masking on set, they have all sorts of
'zones' in place and people are not allowed to cross zones and if you do,
you're fired and blacklisted. Everyone not only has to be vaccinated, they
make you take a booster every few months. Also being within six feet of a
principal actor, regardless of whether it's brief (as in walked past them) or
accidental, gets you fired and blacklisted.
All of that sounded so ridiculous and/or dangerous (I got the two shots but
I'm not going to continue to flood my body with that stuff every few months,
especially with more and more studies coming out showing that it's not nearly
as universally safe as the government claimed it was) that I decided to pass
on being an extra.

over the last few decades. I assumed that they were either health
compromised or else had to hit the ground running for business or family
get-togethers when they arrived and couldn't afford to take time out to
shake off a bug they had caught on the plane. I expect to see more of
that going forward, but not as a majority behavior. Most people seem to
be happy to pretend that the clouds have parted and COVID is behind us.
The numbers do look better these days, but viruses love to mutate, and
the effects of catching COVID multiple times appear to be cumulative.
Applications for disability income and reliance on assisted living are
going to start trending up, and average life expectancy is going to
trend down.

She is pathetic.
There can be mask wearing that substantially cuts down on on the risk
of transmission, but the vast majority of people have no idea how to
properly mask up. Use of a surgical mask is a joke. One needs to wear
a tight-fitting N95 with liner or second mask.
It's a lie of omission to fail to state that critical bit, Micky.

You also need to replace that frequently.
