I'd imagine this is more about making sure facial recognition works. Can't Big Brother if they plebs are covering their faces.

Would this include airplanes flying into NC? Like, if I have a layover in Charlotte and I'm only gonna be at the airport a few hours, I can't wear a mask on the plane to Charlotte, or at the Charlotte airport? I know planes are owned by the airlines so they're not "public", but what about inside an airport?

This is more about arresting protestors

I can only speak from an international perspective but I've taken a plane from Canada through USA a few years ago. During that time Canada had a mask mandate so all of us have to keep our mask on from the airport all the way to boarding. However, once the cabin door closes, apparently, that's when American law kicks in. The mask mandate is lifted according to US law. Maybe US state laws work similarly?

With what legal explanation? Cruel attack on nature by not dying?

Ever since I left NC it has become the most fucked up bunch of deranged retards (oh, excuse me, deranged "mentally challenged" 🙄 ) and I am NOT going back to fix it. This is what nonstop, unchallenged radical fascist radio causes, and every shitlib here is still gonna defend it as "free speech".

I hope one of the local government members gets a major sickness like COVID because someone with it comes up to them unmasked and sneezes on them. Then their Republicans might learn a lesson so long as it was one of them getting sneezed on. Though, I doubt it.

Doubt it. Would be a repeat of when Trump got COVID, where he kept saying it was nothing while getting massive medical help to recover from it.

Would wearing a mask at a hospital be considered public?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't be surprised if they did include that as a public space.
