One-third of New York’s small businesses may be gone forever

I just point out that the government already mandates we wear clothing in public and a mask is basically just a shirt for your face.

Not wearing a mask during covid == indecent exposure in my book.

If that is your argument then I would counter that I do not believe the government should have any say on the clothing you wear. Though I would not be comfortable with going naked, we should not pay any consideration to religious feelings, be they Muslim or Christian - and that is all US clothing regulations are based on.

Being uncomfortable having to explain to a child what a dick is because they saw one hanging out while walking to the bus is not something I should be forced to give a shit about. Taking simple steps to prevent spreading an infections disease is.

That’s great, but my point was it’s already illegal and no one complains about that on the regular. In my view the two viewpoints are identical, so those who argue against masks should get out there and argue against clothing too if they were truly consistent.
