"Our narrative in this country for a long time has been in favor of safety over freedom "if it saves just one life it's worth it"."

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

My state has now reached the 70% herd immunity level but we are still stuck wearing masks - except of course the governor, who even indoors removes his so he looks better at his news conferences. And I've noticed there's no plexiglass in front of his mouth either. I reported him for violating covid guidelines but I have not received a response.

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.

Frankly, I'm about to withdraw from any form of public service, I've given up.

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.
