Oh, please. We had nine mass shootings last week and no one batted an eye.

We have so called mass shootings all the time in Chicago. No one but the locals gives a sh*t.

I can't talk on my phone in the car on speaker phone, even though studies show all the buttons people have to press to take or initiate a handsfree call on bluetooth are more distracting than what I did for years, because heaven forbid one person die in a car accident, everyone's freedom must be curtailed. It is not just with covid.

Wow, you are certainly oppressed. It must be terrible.

I can't drive drunk or with drugs in my system. Now I say what drugs I put in my body is my business, and that filling the prisons up with harmless drug crimes is just wrong*, but the police continue to enforce DUIs nontheless (they say I might kill someone, now might is doing an awful lot of work here don't you think, a lot of things *might* happen am I right. And as if I care about whoever I might kill anyway, I don't even know them!!) TYRANNY. Absolute tyranny.

* ever have a conversation with someone who has got a DUI, because I've actually seen it argued it was a "harmless drug offense", never mind the massive metal object

To be fair, the ASL translator does not wear a mask while translating at the press conferences, and whoever is at the podium speaking removes their mask while at the podium, not just the governor.

The translator I am fine with.

No covid deaths today in Massachusetts. Nada. Zip. Zero. None. But yet we must wear masks.

I was happy to see Rachelle Walensky taken to task today in a Congressional hearing.

I'm there. I will not be renewing my Nursing License. Enough of this ignorance. I shall not be a target of higher risk nor put my family in that target.

Let them all take care of themselves. Enough is enough.

I do not know your lives.

I do not know your resources or your breaking points.

but i offer you John Stewart Mill “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

Or Jana stanfield “[you] cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that [you] can do.”

The mask could prevent a death two weeks from now though.
