    Currently in Japan and I swear to God the mask complicance rate is easily north of 95%

    Young, old, domestic, foreign, working class, leisure, corporate - they're all masked up.

    We'll pass people who are outdoors, a solid block from anyone nearby... masked. Walking out of a hotel room? Masked. Getting up from a restaurant table? Mask goes on and it doesn't come off until their back in their seats.

    Hand sanitizer is everywhere. Everyone is very conscious and deliberate with public health. Its a delightful change of pace.

    Bernie famously has/had heart issues so it's nice to see he has some sense.

    You'd think a bunch of old people would be more cautious about getting a disease that can give you strokes and a heart attack, but I guess pretending everything is normal is better for The Line.

      People talk about America being a nation that worships death but I think in their case it's literally true. Like they yearn for it, they want this whole thing to be over.

    This is a really good physical monument of the political spectrum. Bernie was the compromise, and he's 1 of 525 reps (+staff). So draw your line, then 1/525 of that line is "socialist".

    I think Bernie is doing this from a personal POV (after the heart attack gun) and from a public policy PR POV. The fact that nobody else (And I have done zero research) wore a mask is wild. Like get the "leftist" caucus to all mask up and make it a discussion point.

    It's all going according with the plan. Dark Brandon was just phase 1. Now prepare for Punished Bernie. :punished-bernie:

    Here's one place where if you're sick you definitely shouldn't wear a mask to minimize the spread of whatever sickness you have
