Yeah, at my work (DoD) they waffle from week to week regarding mandatory masking due to "number of cases in adjoining counties" (not hospitalizations). It's insanely stupid. Of course we have to wear them in the halls but rip them off as soon as we get to our respective work spaces.

It does piss me off that I have to wear one whenever I go UVA medical facilities. It's ridiculous getting on the treadmill for PT and having to wear a mask while working up a sweat (not as bad as when the gym on base was requiring it...but then that's why I joined a private 24 hr gym in town).

You can always vote Libertarian.

I would never vote Libertarian. I do believe in taxation and public services. Problem is, they are getting really fucking bad lately and I honestly wonder what I'm paying for most of the time. Closest party affiliation for me would be if Bernie had done his own offshoot that was 100% class based with none of the ID politics bullshit (I think he could have for a moment there, but things went sideways). I just want healthcare, social security, disability for protecting vulnerable people, and the extremely wealthy to pay their fair share in taxes. I don't think fucking over the little guy with stuff like student loan forgiveness is the way to go. You'd never know this on twitter, but most people in America don't even have a damn loan, because most don't even go to college.

Bernie wants total loan forgiveness—and everything else under the sun, the moon and the stars. I agree with your list of basics.
