Masks? 😷 IT'S COMPLICATED.

I live in a mask-heavy area and the store clerks can protect themselves from COVID, which is great. BUT ...

I wish I could lie for clicks the way some "COVID-cautious" or "COVID-denier" grifters do, who then surf to the top of the social algorithms.

The truth is this law is there for a reason. The gas station up the street was vandalized by people wearing "COVID masks", the owner told us.

Vandals-for-hire, it looks like, recorded themselves smashing windows of a Los Angeles synagogue only a week ago. Why would you record your friend doing this? To prove you did the job to collect payment for what you were hired to do.

**In time for the elections** foreign adversaries can pay off vandals-for-hire in covert currency thereby fomenting unrest & division in the United States for post-election protests like we're seeing in England.

A mask ban is in no way going to stop people from committing crimes in masks
