Minimum Wage, Maximum Exposure: How Remote Work Divides America

This image really says it all:


Rural people never like being told how to behave, how to think, what to do, etc. so this privileged urban population are effectively preaching to these rural people that literally make their present lifestyle possible. Rural people are never going to receive the preaching about masks positively because the hypocrisy is obvious. Case in point: urban person has to wear a mask for a few hours to go to stores or while exercising; rural person has to wear mask for their 12 hour work shift, and the store, and exercising. The former is not negotiable and being ordered to do the same for the latter is going to piss them off.

Maybe just give the people that don't want to wear masks a wide berth, leave them alone, and don't be so judgmental? They have their reasons and those reasons are really no one else's business.

We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance. There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!

Sure masks are patriotic, but still it's an individual sacred freedom to choose not to wear. You are not yet skilled at doublethink?

The individual god-given constitutional right to not wear a mask in public during a pandemic is all the evidence one needs in order to see the fatal flaw in the holy American philosophy of individualism.


June 19th, "People are wearing masks in public to show their disapproval of me."

July 21st, "Many people say that it is patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't socially distance. There is nobody more patriotic than me, your favorite President!"

Pathetic backpedaling schmuck.

Why has the Republican response to the pandemic been so mind-bogglingly disastrous?

I think liberals are as much to blame for the idiocy of the conservatives as the conservatives are for listening to the crook capitalists that convince that they are for what hurts them most.
First off we don't include them.
Who is going to listen to people that never ask for help on the things you specialize in or on.
The things you've done to adapt for your life conditions that can help then in times of need.
Because of this virus we should be asking for their help on educating our kids in this situation.
Hiw to provide for ourselves when our supply chains run low.
Nothing... We just get mad at them for not doing what we think.
We belittle them.. These people make our civilized society possible and nobody cares what they think.
Of course there's a divide.
The solution is as simple as treaitng them as fellow citizens instead dessert people.
