Some 60 years ago, Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, in his farewell speech to the nation warned: “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.” If he were president today, I believe he would say: “military-industrial-medical-congressional complex.”
Yet some people refuse to give up the control they have over others to force them to wear masks.
For example, I was in my local library Thursday to pick-up a book. I entered w/o a mask but was almost immediately ambushed by an employee with a box of masks and was told that they required the wearing of masks inside. "Did I have one or would you like one of ours?" I said that libraries were not listed on the order as places still required to mask up but she retorted that it was so and it was "to protect THE CHILDREN".
I didn't have the order with me to argue and even though I had a mask in my pocket, I took one of theirs, put it on, got my book, checked it out at the scan machine and then promptly took it off and threw it in their garbage bin.
Good article.
Here's a story. I live in San Mateo county, CA where the Governor recently relaxed the statewide mask requirements (https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx).
