Okay, you're an idiot. There! I feel better now...

When will someone ask him how many in Louisiana are unemployed because of his decisions and how many are now in poverty because of his decisions?

I would have so much less resentment and aggravation about this if It went thru some kind of legislative process. This would, by necessity require some sort of scientific evidence beyond: “because I said so.”

I still wear the stupid fricking mask, bc all these people have whipped themselves into a needless fear frenzy about it and I see no need to cause these morons to have a panic attack. However, until it’s supported by logic other than:

1) My friend who knows a doctor says it works;
2) If it doesn’t work why do they wear it in hospitals (bc there are other reasons besides Covid that they wear them in hospitals);
3) only stupid people don’t want to wear masks
4) it’s rude not to wear masks

I reserve the right to at least complain about it.

That’s like saying 'If you don't like paying higher taxes, pay them anyway.'[/quote]

This is political cover. If republicans don’t mandate it then the media/dems will relentlessly criticize them for not doing it. The democrats are doing it to support the narrative. So if we don’t mandate them then it will be the reason for any failure or illness. If we do wear them it creates negative optics that continue to support fear in society.

It will not practically work as we will not be able to get people to wear them correctly and use effective hygiene. The CDC openly admits this. A healthcare setting is composed of people with above average intelligence, excessive training, and appropriate resources. So yes it theoretically could help, but it practically won’t help.

Our governor gets too much criticism on here. He’s done a fine job of leading. He’s gonna catch shite no matter which way he goes with this, he has to do what he thinks is best.

Wonder if we'll ever reach the 1968 Flu pandemic death numbers (1 million).

And do we have to wear masks for future flu pandemics?

Since JBE didn’t talk about penalties for not following his mask edict, why should I follow it?

All this stuff is nonsense. I was reading the mandate stuff. The mandates guidelines state to wear a mask when entering and exiting the gym but not while exercising. It’s the same for other places. Wtf is this supposed to do? Is it magic?

Condemn the riots and protests as culprits for spreading it first. Then...assure me everyone will do it properly, because it’s worse if they don’t.
Until then...

OK. John Bel, you're a fricking idiot who just wants a future in the Dem party. So, you're going along with destruction of the economy to please the DNC. And don't worry about changing to pro choice right after you leave B.R. You can just say 'I evolved on the issue.'
