It's just a completely unnecessary reminder. It's the entire emergency order, and the fact this sure seems a whole lot longer than temporary.
The masks are just a constant reminder of everything else, and it is frustrating when I forget masks or I have to buy more and etc... I never know, am I really going to have to buy more? I assumed that I wouldn't need to buy more when I bought some in January.
The constant reminder these people want to call people's constitutionally enshrined rights, just "privileges". The masks aren't really that much of an infraction, it's just it is a constant reminder of everything else, and many people, including myself just want to move on from this. Not to mention that somehow anyone thinks a unilateral executive "emergency" order would be remotely legal under a sane regime. (One that lasts this long that is)
I am still extremely sore over lockdowns and it really bugged the crap out of me, and still bugs the crap out of me that stuff flew at all. I knew when they said it would only be for a week or whatever it was a LIE, but no one believed it then it just went on from there.
Again, I always wore my mask last year and had no problems doing it, but the fact we are doing it this long after vaccines have become available, which was supposedly the original goal... and we're STILL doing it... constant reminder of the never, ever ever ending movement of the goalposts.
Oh for just a week, oh just for two months... well let's just wear masks until vaccines come out... nah... gotta get the most vulnerable vaccinated, nah gotta get 70% vaccinated, well no way past October 15th... oops.. we're at 90%+ now!!! That's what I'm pissed off about, the complete dishonesty of the narrative pushed from the beginning. It was all about just getting their foot in the door... it never ever ends. It really really bugs me also that people have been OK with this.
At least it makes me feel a little bit better that the lockdowns in many places have spurred protests with tens of thousands of people. It was extremely surprising to me it didn't happen last year.
