It IS an inevitability.
Unlike the Leftists on here that are going to spend an entire year pretending that violence wasn't violence because it was their side doing it, I'm being real, and I'm not going to pretend that there aren't a lot of unstable people with guns who manage to go about their normal daily lives without snapping when things are normal.
The last year has been far from normal. A lot of people have killed themselves because of it, and hardly anybody is talking about all of those people still around that are just barely hanging on to whatever shreds of sanity they still have.
Put their backs up against the wall and tell them they can't ever work again or shop for food and see what happens.
Meanwhile....
EVERYTHING I've said was going to happen has happened.
But just keep going around pretending like I don't know what I'm talking about on this topic.

All told, I can see why the CDC has changed its mask guidance. While the data is incomplete, there are indications that SARS-CoV-2 delta is more infectious and more severe than 'normal' SARS-CoV-2. Simple prudence should indicate a safer public policy. And masking is one of the least intrusive, and inexpensive, precautions to take. Effective masks like N95 are once again available on Amazon.com.
The mask mandate was never about safety. It was about control and compliance.
If it were about safety, everyone would have been wearing N95. They would have even been provided with them after the shortage of supply was over.
But that's not what happened, and a vast majority of people went out with scarfs, rags or whatever cheap made-in-China fabric masks they could find on Amazon. As long as your face was covered with something... anything... you weren't going to be accosted by staffers or put on YouTube by mask Karens for non-compliance.
It was NEVER about safety.
It was a grand social experiment to see if people have become so weak that the individual can be smothered out by the mob.
The individual lost.
And now they're moving on to the big fish. Attempting the same thing with an untested vaccination. Forcing it on every last individual via any means necessary just short of an official written mandate so they can pretend that there was never a mandate.
This is all stuff Kurt Vonnegut wrote about before I was born and most people today either forgot about or were never even introduced to.

I'd think that a mask mandate would happen before people were being required to show proof of vaccination wherever they went.
Btw, employers have the right - already established in law - to require things like vaccinations, drug tests, and so on. I took my stand against that decades ago when it came to mass drug screening, writing to as many professional organizations and publications as I knew of. But hardly anybody seemed to care at the time.
And stores, restaurants etc have long been recognized as private property, over which the owners have significant control.
And so we now have this well-entrenched precedent, for any employer or business owner to use if they want.
I would require N95 employee masking every place where vulnerable people are being exposed to 'whatever whoever' without any options - like in hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehab centers, and so on.
Other than that, I think prudent people should individually opt to get vaccinated and wear N95's just to be on the safe side.
But that's apparently too radical for you.
But besides, as reasonable as I think I was back then, as reasonable as I think I'm being now, nobody listened to me back then, and they're not listening now.

Did you see this, or did you ignore my video above?
Allowing businesses to force this is NO DIFFERENT than a government mandate.
It IS a Constitutional crisis.
Those that are for this should seriously consider the ramifications of their actions.
They're not being warned of what will happen, because the media and big tech is silencing any dissent. And make NO mistake, there is a lot of dissent.
They do so at their own peril.
We won't be talking about war with Russia or China a year from now.
The war will be on our own streets.

One blowhard mouthing off on a channel that even you say gets no viewers ...
... this is just more of an attempt to stampede people, to "manufacture consent" as the phrase goes.
I'd wait to see if the idea was getting traction anywhere important before I figured it was a sealed fate.

A year of waiting and watching me be right about everything so far isn't enough for you, huh?
Fair enough. All we can really do is sit back and wait anyhow. It's not like the individual has any power anymore. The last year proved that beyond any shadow of a doubt.
If I were running things, I'd be fighting against coercion. Why push people over the cliff when things are going so well for them? They've already got so much control over our actions right now.
The last thing I'd want to do is spark a revolution and risk losing all of that.

Nah. Your record of being right is spotty.

My record of being right is impeccable.
You've spent the last 20 minutes not answering any of my questions and not replying to the pertinent parts of my posts.
You know I'm right.
We'll just sit back wait and I'll keep my big 'ole bag of I Told You So's on standby.
Do try not to get coughed on in the meantime though since your vaccination doesn't do what they told you it would when they sold it to you. And try not to think too much about what it's actually doing to you instead.

I've addressed all your points.
You just can't admit it, just like you can't admit COVID-19 exists and kills people.
Well, enough posting at each other.
Ta ta!

No. You didn't.
Address the point about the mask mandates not being about safety since nobody was wearing N95 and nobody ever forced anybody to wear N95.
It was about control and compliance. Period.
