New York State will probably go red at some point in the next twenty years. It’s got an incredibly rare combination of some of the wealthiest capitalists in the country living in the same electorate as some of the poorest and most disillusioned. People forget that Trump was born, raised, and became wealthy in this state. That it has one of the most overfunded police departments on the planet. This kind of rhetoric would be expected from someone like desantis, but instead it’s coming from New York. Crazy.
This is what you get when Biden comes out as anti-mask like five months after being elected then immediately tries Trump’s plan of “let’s spread it on purpose to kill off the disabled and deny the pandemic to kill off the social safety net”. Now everyone’s at increasing risk for long covid. ArE YoU BeTtEr oFf tHaN YoU WeRe fOuR YeArS AgO?
2021 was the dumbest year.
Masks mandate should’ve been policy until 85-90% of people were vaccinated. This would’ve put a level of social pressure on people to get it done. It also would’ve kept down the Delta strain super spreader events between Thanksgiving and New Years that made many people lose faith in the vaccines effectiveness

Masks still aren’t a moot point, asshole. Cloth masks were never very effective, they didn’t suddenly just stop. That doesn’t change the fact that N95s were and continue to be effective and it’s nonsense that they weren’t worn correctly by “nearly anyone.”
