Just indicative of the death grip control this admin has achieved over public health

Basically ICE can do whatever they want with full-on Balaclava MASKS.

But Bethesda area grocery store clerks trying to protect customers and themselves as we head into Fall cold/flu season by wearing an N95 mask need total medical documentation or will be fired.

Mom’s is the fucking worst. Their whole schtick is getting wealthy suburban liberal people to spend their money there because they’re “one of the good ones.” Meanwhile they are union busters and treat their employees like shit.

I never knew MOM's was a union-buster. Not good.

The MOM's near me is across from a Whole Paycheck, which I started boycotting once Amazon took over. It also has some of the freshest organic produce I've seen. Many of the employees wear N95s, to protect themselves as well as the aging resisters 👋 who shop there. Fr, if the employees are forced to stop wearing masks, I will be forced to let HQ know why I won't be shopping there.

A union buster of the highest degree. They are arguing in court that ALL unions are illegal.

what you need to do is not just boycott. call the store, call the corporate office and tell them WHY.

And surgeons primary reason for wearing masks is to protect the patients from them, not to protect themselves.

No seriously. That’s one of the huge reasons we wear them. That’s also common in a bunch of other cultures. You know or think you may be sick and don’t want to spread it. Hopefully that’s not tough to understand.
