    It's only a matter of time before she's hired by Quillette.

    I am really really angry that this is even remotely needed and extra angry that this will be used to target minorities and protestors.

    Also what the fuck, that's waaaaaay to short of notice to get everyone masked up in time for the deadline.

    Not to mention the fact that some of us have to choose between masking up and being able to see due to condensation on our glasses!

    The short notice depends on if they want something like an official mask or if any sort of face covering will work.

    Shut up, Mr. Burton! You were not brought upon this world to get it!

    If I slide my glasses half an inch or so further forward than I would normally wear them, I have almost no problems. If you can get a mask with a wire band for the nose area that keeps it more closely molded to your face up there, that helps a lot too.

    You can find masks on Etsy that are double layered with a pocket, pita bread style. Stuffing a piece of Kleenex in the pocket really helps with fogging glasses

    The wire especially helps since your glasses can sit back as usual if you're doing more physically intensive stuff and want them to stay put.

    My wife and I bought masks for our kids and ourselves from a company called happy masks. They are excellent for long term wear with minimal fogging of glasses etc. You have to hand wash them because the filter is built in, but, that’s how they can keep the shape that helps stop them fogging. No complaints even from the kids wearing them.

    Masks should have been mandated for months.

    I mean to be fair most people should have had masks themselves months ago. I've been going to the store masked up since this began. I imagine the police will also have some temporary masks they'll distribute before they go right to fines. The bigger problem will be the rual fuckos who will resist because plague spreading is their right.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Yeah I gotcha, try and tacticool it up and convince them they can swag it. But literally one political party endorsed by the president has made wearing a mask a question to your masculinity and patriotism. Despite everything saying we could have saved potentially 90% of the people who have died of covid we're still going down this path.

    I will say this:

    Masks are fucking rough to breath through in retail and kitchen environments. My wife says she gets dizzy all the time now that she's wearing a mask, she hates it and wants to stop wearing one at work.

    She also doesn't really get breaks and that's a thing that I'd love OSHA or someone to bring the fucking hammer down on. You have to require your employees to wear a mask. You also have to give them 5 minutes out of every hour to go out back, take the mask off, and get some fresh air for a bit you motherfucking pieces of shit.

    put a metal reinforcer that rests on the bridge of your nose into your mask. that totally stopped the fogging up problem with my masks. its cheap and super easy to do.

    They forgot to add the part that says "unless you are a minority, in which case you will be arrested. For not wearing a mask, or wearing a mask, we don't care."
