Just learned that North Carolina State Senate passed a public masking ban out of committee into the full state senate, and that it has no exceptions for health. Like, it hasn't been passed by the full state legislature YET, but even the fact that it passed committee has me genuinely enraged and horrified by the direction of this country.

@Wolven That seems outrageously dumb. Were there any exceptions for firefighters, or would they need to run into a burning building without a mask?

@Wolven Thankfully, except other red states, Virginia's horrible state laws lead the opinion of exactly nobody.

@Klaxun You know they don't care about logical consistency. Firefighters are the "right kind" of masks on the "right kind" of people

@Wolven Surely that will be taken to court. A government can't force someone to risk their health.

@Wolven Several good points in the replies already, but so much of this is about distraction and wasting legislators' time, so other actions go unnoticed.

@Wolven Public as in no one can wear them in public or public as in public workers can’t wear them while working?

@Wolven my understanding is the House version at least has an exception for people to wear hoods at things like Klan rallies.

@Wolven Hopefully Roy Cooper has his veto pen ready if this nonsense gets any further. Astonishing that anti-maskers pretended they cared about the principle of personal autonomy only a moment ago.

@Wolven @slott56 But are you SURPRISED? I'm not. This country is going to hell because of ignorant, science-hating idiots.

And please remember that every single member of the NC state legislature— state house *and* state senate— is up for reelection, this year. All of them: https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_State_Senate_elections,_2024

@Wolven And their districts are so heavily gerrymandered that they will cruise to re-election as usual.
