The resistance to that common sense precaution really brings those stark differences to light

It is so sad for the workers to have to put up with that.

I need to rework my mask a bit... for mask removal terror.
Something like this...
But a bit scarier.
With a stylized N95.

One of my girls works in hospitality and gets this and more, such as "I can't understand you with that mask on" and "I like to see your pretty face when I'm ordering." Another of my girls works in a hospital where some Covid patients try to rip off theirs and their nurses' masks, claiming they only have the flu.

As a person, this infuriates me. As their mother, it makes me want to... well, do not nice things. It's yet another level of stress added to this already stressful experience.

I was like that in my teens when i was a Catholic. I rebelled against everything but Catholicism and I feared the consequences of rebelling against it.

The short story is that trauma pushed me over the hurdle. I finished college, found work I liked and my life became wonderful.

I knew several elderly Catholics and they are much like I was: fearful.

IMO, your customers need to rebel against something in their early years but they fear doing so. They might be unable to identify what they need to rebel against.

We have those kind of people in Illinois when it comes to people who work at gas stations and resturants. Makes me sick be part of the human with morons like that in the world.

In Montana, there were always going to be asses who only care about their "rights" which are to do whatever the fuck they want to whomever (if said person is not a conservative, white msle) they want whenever they want. tRump pulled that asshole string and now, even those who would have worn a mask won't.
