Rashida Tlaib says she's only wearing a mask because of a 'Republican tracker' near her

'as yet'?

Because a country adopts one portion of a model doesn't mean it's going to inevitably go full on to adopt that model fully. No serious person in western civilization thinks that full socialism is going to work. I know there are some on these boards that espouse that idea, but I'd just say they aren't serious thinkers. A mix of capitalism and socialism works very well for many countries.
Once again social programs are not necessarily socialism. Unfettered capitalism led to the robber barons and social programs along with enacted laws ended that dog eat dog existence.
Social safety nets are a good thing and having each others backs is why societies are formed. This however is not socialism.


socialism

NOUN
  1. a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
 
No, and I do not support wearing a mask for show (turning useless mask wearing into a political show?).


I don't see a problem "for show" when to avoid expected harassment or to be a positive example to others. Like, uselessly wearing a suit and tie. Or, when you see a cop, slowing down your speed "for show". And, wearing a mask is not useless. That's been proven.
 
She stated that was the case.


To clarify, that she only wears a mask, mandated or not, when there's a "tracker". Such as when at an inside private lunch/dinner party where a mask is required.
 
Low point was covid shutdown. As that ended jobs became available. Many decided they were better off with not paying rent, extended unemployment, food stamps, WIC, Medicaid food banks etc etc. These programs went on far too long and as help wanted signs sprung up like weeds. We should be much farther along in economic recovery than we are.


None were better off than before the pandemic. Whereas the rich and large corps became wealthier. Like I said, you can't prove what you claim anymore than in a safety net context of preventing people from hitting the ground and going into poverty.

Better off than before the pandemic? Gas prices? Heating prices? Grocery prices? Begging opec to increase production? Supply chain breakdown? Empty store shelves? Inflation? 13 dead troops in Afghanistan? Taliban back in charge?
What exactly is "better"?
 
There are very clear recommendations when to wear a mask and when not to wear a mask in public.

Unfortunately some are quick to pick apart those not wearing masks (even though they are following public health guidelines} We have seen the finger pointing in various threads on this board.

People should not feel compelled to wear a mask when they are following guidelines. In addition to following guidelines, people can choose to wear a mask above and beyond.

I personally wear one more than guidelines indicate (specifically outside) because my asthma has never been under better control;) The little filterI put in the pocket REALLY helps!

I have no clue why she said what she did...but we have seen on these boards people picking apart Dems following protocols for the area. (usually mask or public function related)

You didn't respond with evidence to support you claims. Only rhetoric. Prove what you said. Or, see you on another thread.
 
Notice my signature?


Your "signature", whatever that means, or lack thereof, is neither evidence of what you claim nor necessary to verify the claim is yours. See you on another thread.
