Dallas "Summer" Musicals
DSO
Museums (big and small)
A few restaurants (which is silly, but whatever)
Airlines of course. We have several flights coming up and I'd LOVE to do done with that thing.
Idk, my wife works for Southwest and there have been talks of removing the mask policy. Granted that was before the announcement of the brand new super cool variant.Coates said:Ol Jock 99 said:

Its not the airlines, and I wouldn't expect the FAA to change their rules anytime soon.
As far as anything local, I haven't been asked to wear a mask in nearly a year, and don't see signs anymore.
Now it's late March.Coates said:
The faa expiration is sometime in January, but I would expect them to extend it, could southwest or any other airline not comply?
I will say the flight attendants haven't been enforcing it much, or maybe they just don't care anymore.

As the Jews were ushered into boxcars, one of them looked into the eyes of a Nazi soldier and said, "Please note that I am not complying, but rather I'm choosing to participate."
The young Nazi nodded his head as he waved him and his ilk onto the train.
I'm sure those that witnessed the Holocaust appreciate this comparison.Bonfire1996 said:

Comparing wearing a mask to the mass murder of 6MM Jewish people is extremely over the top, no matter where you fall on the Covid Patriot vs Beta Mask Lover scale.YouBet said:
Not sure why the outrage over Bonfire's comments. People today live in this naive mindset that government doing bad things to their people is a myth and would never happen here.
Meanwhile, see Australia....supposedly a western democracy. But as is clear to everyone now...not really. And all it took was a virus a little more impactful than the flu to strip away the facade of freedom.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
I would agree. However, I was trying to more point out the slippery slope nature of all of this (maybe poorly) which is undeniable.

The only thing that has kept Americans from tyrannical overreach by our own government is the unique history of our country and that we still have a significant number of people that refuse to tolerate much beyond what we've already done.

Mask wearing to genocide is more than a 'slippery slope'

How about requiring performing an experimental medical procedure on your child in order for them to go to a restaurant, a theater, or a school?Ol Jock 99 said:

But the downfall of America? Having to wear a mask to the Music Hall at Fair Park.

Honest question: vaccines have been required for public schools for decades. How is this one (which currently isn't required) different?
As previously mentioned, long term studies exist on other vaccines. Other vaccines are actually live virus culture, true "vaccines". Most of the diseases we vaxx kids for had mortality rates above 5% in kids. The Pfizer vaxx trial had exactly zero kids in the control group develop serious symptoms, much less hospitalized, much less die. States allow you to delay vaxx your kids according to a pediatrician designed schedule, and no such exemption exists for Covid vaxx, LOL.double aught said:

Do you care if your car has been tested well or poorly before you drive it?Stive said:
So "it's a bit different" but it boils down to: you're ok with those mean old school districts and governments mandating it as long as it's been vetted for some arbitrary length of time?
Got it.

Arbitrary? Who mentioned that? Show where the vaccine has actually been vetted.

Pretty sure the point went right over your head.
Let's try again: how long should the vacation have been vetted before you'd be ok with government mandating it?

The point didn't go over my head, you asked if it's OK if it's been vetted for an arbitrary amount of time. My response was for you to show it's been vetted at all. Every vaccine has gone through years of trial & error, and has shown long term effects, specifically when being mandated to children.
