Illinois could become the first state in the country to ban mask bans. Here’s how we created the bill to do it. (thesicktimes.org)

How did things get stupid enough where we need to ban a ban on masks? I've seen two arguments against masks:

On one side you have the 'covid is a scam' people who want to prevent people from making for medical reasons.

On the other you have the 'no anonymous protesting' people who want to harass protesters, typically these people don't object when it's cops wearing them or open nazi groups.

That there are so many bans around it merits a state level action is bizzaro world level.

Well, we have people who want to hurt other people for satisfaction. Those people get elected to government positions. They make laws that hurt people, and then they are satiated.

They're never satiated.

They're broken people and aren't addressing the actual problems.

I can’t argue with that.
