Facemasks will be mandatory at my office building starting Monday.  The company, to support their new initiative, is supplying face masks and have ordered an enormous amount in preparation for this new policy.

 

Kicker?

 

The boxes of face mask all have a blurb about how there is no evidence that wearing these face masks will help end the spread of COVID-19.  Ill try to sneak a pic of one of the boxes.

    its better then nothing, face masks help keep your fluids/ breath near you. IMO their should be a law for everyone to wear facemasks.

    LOL - theres laws to not fuck horses too.  If you believe a law should be invented to force people to wear face coverings then welcome to Sharia Law.  Niqabis so you can feel more "safe" - and allow the State and Government to further oppress Freedoms.  You should probably check into how Sharia Law is used to abuse the peoples of those Countries before pushing and prodding for similar legislation.

    Yes, the law is invented to force uneducated people to wear a mask. They're not the same as the religious face coverings, which are seen as a way to silence women or whatever.

    @EL02 and please define uneducated.  Because while I am successful in business and life, I am uneducated by definition.

     

    You mean, people who hold a belief in something other than you should be forced to do something?

    Look, WHO has recently stated that masks should be mandatory. Elon Musk may be successful in business and life but was and continues to be a complete moron for risking his workers' life.

    You can believe in what you want as long as it doesn't involve putting other peoples life in danger.

    @EL02 please read entire response

     

    A Non For Profit based in Switzerland sending out recommendations that you believe should be law based on how you feel unsafe outside when people are around shouldnt be mandatory.  Dont go in public then.  Personal space is already defined, and in its bounds in law refined as assault, harassment, or unwelcome touching.  I am not hurting anyone by breathing. 

     

    Those people have a choice to not work there.  Suck it up buttercups.  Harsh truth.  Life is anything but nice or easy.  However you can shame him (Musk) socially, not buy his products (I cant afford them anyways) and protest him to kingdom come - still his right, and considering At Will (labor law) is already established its their right to walk off the job.  Blows my mind as a business owner how people think money works and how employment can continue magically or some such without advancing at financially.  Its their capital and they are legally allowed to do what they want with it (spend, employ, whatever within the bounds of the law).  So knock it, but I wouldnt till you try it.

     

    Judge me all you want up till then, but I closed my gym for months during this.  Lost revenue like a motherfucker.  But I also had capital to float, and the grace of 96% of my student base (which I allowed to cancel the moment we closed all tuition payments, with a request that if they can afford it to continue to pay so we can remain open, or we would potentially have to close if it lasted for a long duration - Im blessed in this regard - and clearly was the right decision to make either way.)

     

    I dont believe in allowing a State/Government being allowed to begin to erode a Right away, because you know how erosion works.  Thats my stance.  

     

    EDIT - I live what I believe, thats why I shut down.  It was my choice.  Had the local Government forced me - I probably wouldnt have based on my beliefs.  When they did create state mandates I was already doing it, and socially it would have ruined my gyms reputation imho so wouldnt have been worth doing from a Capitalist point of view either (so would have shut down either way tbh but would have hated it from my Freedoms point of view, but did it for Capitalistic reasons.)

    @nerdslayer1 Im curious why, I would assume it has to do with believing in science or not - let me know Im just curious why age would matter.  As for science, Im a data miner at my day job, love truths and facts.

     just curious. IDC honestly, its fun to know the age. When it comes to corona, its a very hotly debated topic on what the government should do.
