After the ruling (U.S. will no longer enforce mask mandate on airplanes, trains after court ruling | Reuters), we get the obligatory has-been celebrity making a stupid comment.
Apparently, it is hard for Rosanna to understand that she still has the personal freedom to fly with the mask is she chooses to do so. And she is joined in the lamentations by some equally dumb people.
The politically hypochondriac have lost their ever-loving minds. You can always wear masks and saran-warp over your face if you choose so, but nobody is mandating French kissing a blood-splitting stranger in the plane either. This is about the same people who are so worried about their health and everybody’s but somehow have no problem with the government using taxpayer’s monies to provide for needles for the junkies because it will keep them “healthy”. How is that possible when you are contributing to help them shoot poison in their bloodstream is beyond their mental capability.
Oh well, be ready for some interesting viral videos of people freaking out in planes in the near future.
Its liberals red badge of courage…. We still have them here. Mask on and the look of terror.. and now 2 years later studies come out showing masks quarantine ect had zero affect on saving lives
They’re Collectivists. All that is not compulsory is forbidden! There is no room for individual choice!
We see the same thing with, e.g., the recent Tennessee “book ban” – remove a book from the mandatory school curriculum, and it’s the same thing as rounding up all the copies and tossing them on a bonfire!
Is it just me, or has society in general deteriorated significantly since social media, especially Twatter, um I mean, Twitter, has come on the scene?
I’m saddened that so many people seem to care what a relative nobody can say in a sentence or two.
You know, like comments on GFZ. 😏 j/k
Twitter is engineered to exaggerate positions. One person says they won’t fly without a mask, gets approval, so the next recounts how they live their life in a bubble like a young John Travolta, chasing the same approval.
@Rob Crawford: I remember that movie.
I cough on flights because the air is dry.
I hope Elon is successful in his bid to wrest total control of Twitter, and his first and final act is to completely shut the platform down. I want to see a 404 error when someone goes to twitter .com
Nah. Return 418 errors, just to confuse people.
Collectivists have to collectivist.

Seriously. If you want to wear a mask, wear one. I do not care. It says something about you, and if that is the impression you want to share with the public, please do so.
Anyone travelling is free to wear a mask if they wish.
In Rosanna Arquette’s case, I would encourage a 20-gallon plastic bag, rather than a surgical mask.
I will personally donate a bungee cord for her to use around her neck to keep it in place during the flight.
I’m a giver like that.
I have contemplated wearing a gas mask in freedom limited zones, simply to troll the terrorized.
TDW-Mark II forbade it.
@Reltney McFee: I have considered wearing a full face shield with the same purpose. My hearing deficit says “no”, though.
Maybe the airlines should institute mask and non mask section, just like the old smoking/non-smoking sections
SouthWest Airlines still has smoking sections, as they inform every flight: outboard of the over-wing exits.
“If you can light it, you can smoke it.“
Even better in CT. Mandate remains for state and municipal transportation. Federally operated stuff like Amtrak and the airport no mandate. Dumb. Mask wearing is like 20% here and I mostly see it amongst people with service jobs interacting with 100s of people a day.
