The Daily Peeve / Rant

And speaking of which, I saw a YouTube clip of a woman who was dragged out of a bank because she wasn’t wearing a mask and she would not put one on. She wanted to pull her money out of the bank because the bank had the rule that customers inside had to wear a mask.

Good for her. She's a modern day Henry David Thoreau.

I don’t think so but whatever. She was factually incorrect because she kept shouting she wasn’t required to wear a mask in a public place, all the while the bank cop reminded her that she was not in a public place. It was a privately owned institution.

They can't seize her assets like that. She should be able to withdraw her money and close her account.

Oh please. “ Seizing her assets” is overly dramatic When the bank is simply keeping the money exactly where it’s always been.

Besides, the cop told her all she had to do was put on a mask to do business and she could withdraw her money.

If you can't access it, it's seized. Just like Trudeau seized the assets of protestors in Canada.

There are multiple ways to get to your money besides physically going into a bank.

Comparisons of states (like Florida) and countries (like Sweden) without mask mandates have shown no difference in covid outcomes. So at what point are people going to stop forcing others to do something that has no logical basis and is discriminatory?

It's like in the olden days when some people thought blacks had cooties and they couldn't come into places of business, or had to use a separate entrance.

Just stop already!

Even in private places there should not be discrimination in public accommodations.

Both Florida and Sweden have had more COVID casualties per capita than their neighbors. I'm not sure how that's a victory for anyone.

Sweden, quoting World Health Organization figures on excess deaths:

Florida is disproportionately elderly. Even so, here's a comparison with California, one of the strictest states, in which there is no significant difference:

I know - does anyone actually go to the bank anymore to make a withdrawal?
