I don't claim to have all the answers, but I think wearing a mask is a reasonable accommodation and barely an inconvenience. Same goes for FDA-approved vaccines.

Reductio ad absurdum doesn't always work in the real world, so your hazmat scenario just sounds silly.

Going to gym is barely an inconvenience. Mortality would have been minimal if fat people would jump on a treadmill occasionally and keep the cheeseburgers out of their face.

"What is inconvenient" is subjective and that's the ultimate slippery slope argument.

Your argument and thinking is so so bad, I feel like I'm being trolled.

What is your problem?

Obesity is not a communicable disease.

I regret feeding the troll.

It absolutely is.

Fat food directly causes obesity.

Obesity is communicable from fat foods.

By your strange logic we need to ban fat foods because they hurt people.

Let me summarize your argument.

"Your haz mat argument is silly because I say it is. My argument is not silly because I say it's not."

This absolute state of critical thinking in America...

I can't wait till the media stops covering covid and everyone forgets that covid exists because they're on to the next thing the medium easily manipulates them over.

My point is that your attempt at a logical argument misses a number of externalities. My refusal to engage is because you're acting like a jerk, not because I can't construct a proof.

While you marvel at the "state of critical thinking" I am astounded by your lack of empathy.

I literally pointed out externalities you were missing.

Its hopeless conversation.
