on one side solidly they're going to get what they want. So basically this is a victory of the public because who knows what the government would have done on its own. Who knows. But we do know that the public pushed it until it broke. I think that's just what happened. I think that anybody who makes a decision to unmask is doing it in the context of knowing that the public has had enough. It's go…

To me it feels like walking onto a plantation in the days of slavery. Like what it would feel to have such obvious signs of unequal treatment of human beings. Obviously it's not like slavery so before somebody goes wild and says oh you compared mask wearing to slavery, no no no no no. It's just an analogy. Settle down. Settle down. It's not the Holocaust. It's just masks. But in terms of both of them giving you a visceral feel, I don't know. I can't get past it.
And tell me if this makes it worse. If you see somebody who's Black and underpaid and wearing a mask when you're not, doesn't it make you feel a little extra creepy? You know, maybe you shouldn't because again that would be bigoted. It would be bigoted to have any opinion about the color of the person wearing it. But you know we're still primed that way.

How do the rich people allow it? Honestly everybody should be complaining about that. The lack, I guess it more than other things shows a lack of consideration for other people in such a fundamental way that it's just disgusting. It's one thing if you say you know I don't want to raise my taxes to give it to other people because that you can explain that in terms of the system works better if everybody has to look out for themselves if they can, if they have the ability. But this isn't one of those times. It's not like there's any larger system that's being supported by it. Nothing's being supported by it. It's literally just discriminating against people who don't have power. That's it. It's just power. It's an absolute brutal disgusting use

of power. Do you all know who Malcolm Nance is? He had been until recently one of the voices or contributors on MSNBC. If you don't know who Malcolm Nance is the story won't be nearly as funny. But apparently he quit MSNBC and he joined the Ukrainian International Legion to go fight for Ukraine. Now he was in, apparently he's a Navy veteran. I guess he was a linguist or something. I don't know if…
