Based on the current " leadership’s" option of this garbage - “We will continue with the current policy until the federal guidance on mask usage is updated”
They should also opt into the Federally mandated blanket safety policies of OSHA - it is all about safety right?
how convenient that the Makerspace lashes out politically
Let us know if you find another makerspace in dfw that let’s you be mask free.
Let us know if you find any business that’s successfully fought for keeping the CDC guidelines.
Unsure what is political about masks and why folks continue to try to politicize them.
Masks have been a known thing for respiratory infection prevention for 150 years.
Since the government began mandating their use…
The government mandates lots of things, particularly when people can’t be trusted to do it on their own. Speeding is illegal because it kills tens of thousands of people every year, despite the fact that a single speeder is unlikely to kill anyone on any given day.
Speeding laws are political…
Well I guess anything the government does is inherently political but this subject is “different” and we all know it.
Arab Oil Embargo and the infamous 55 mph quick fix
Perhaps you meant to say partisan instead of political…
The National Maximum Speed Limit may have been somewhat more tolerable if it had been 60 mph instead of 55 mph.
Edit: reading material
Gonna have to disagree, this is theater. There is some benefit, but not nearly as much as is being suggested. Let the people decide their risk appetite.
To quote Ronald Reagan. 9 scariest words uttered. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”
Let people decide my risk appetite you mean? I’ve got to get groceries and I’d really not like to get COVID because some idiot is thinking that they have something to prove by not covering their piehole for Jesus or Trump or m’liberties. If it was like seatbelts where their body getting pushed through a windshield was none of my problem I’d be down with not having a mask mandate, but the issue is they need to keep their spittle where it belongs for my sake.
At the very least trespassing laws should be aggressively enforced.
That’s the issue here. It’s about personal choice. You do actually have a choice. As crazy as it may sound, if laws were left up to the business, you still get the choice to patronize or not. If there was no mandate you still get to choose tour appetite. The otherside is you dont get a say. Comply or else. This dilemma is not new. It’s been going on since the dawn of government.
The American experiment was radical.
The freedom of choice.
All for this.
My “risk appetite” says it’s ok to drink and drive. Cool?
Yes, totally cool. See you technically have a choice as to which roads you drive on, and if we vote with our wallets drunk driving will basically disappear. No laws needed.
Sure go for it. It ain’t legal being that the legislature decided it wasnt. Difference here is no law was made. We can go down lots of rabbit holes about executive authority etc etc. At the end of the day, I still have a choice. Stay off the roads, away from away from roads etc.
Back to the original question/objection.
If you have issues with the policies enacted by the BoD for DMS, you can vote for BoD candidates that support your preferred stance on said policies at the next election. Until then you have two realistic options.
I’m not trying to say you can’t make objections to policies in the interim, but be aware there are many people who support the masking policies. Please keep all debate/discussion within respectful and factual bounds, which IMO has so far been the case on this thread.
