Wal mart and crappy chain restaurants were pretty much the only places I refused to walk into during Covid. I’d go into one now but only to get something I’d have a hard time finding somewhere else and didn’t want to wait for Amazon to ship it. So basically hardly ever.

It’s a bunch of rednecks on the school board (not really). But we’ve been in person from day one. Have dropped the mask mandate for kids. I don’t see any restrictions next fall.

Can’t we laugh at the headline? They’re “mounting a campaign” like they’re fighting an uphill battle against something or somebody. But they were the roadblock. 🤡 

Who is this "they"? Biden? Teacher's unions? 

Uuuhhh, you do know that Biden wasn't the president when school districts went remote, right? You also know that the president of the United States doesn't set policy for local school districts, right?

Also, you claim to live in Texas, a state where the teacher's unions have very little power. To wit, your "red school district" has been in-person since day one. You want to bitch about schools in LA? Go ahead, but do realize that remote learning in a city 1,300 miles from San Antonio has fuck all to do with your life.

I don’t really see the point in “punishing” retail establishments. Retail and restaurants have been brutalized by the pandemic. They’ve had to make some hard no win decisions throughout this thing. 

Either it's fuck around find out or it isn't.

Lol, like I needed an excuse to never see foot in Walmart again.  
 

We just lifted the mask mandate in our office too which is awesome, and I think everyone but a couple of people are a vaccinated.  One of the ones who isn’t was whining to me about the policy saying he should wear a mask until he has been vaccinated.

 

I told him he should get on shaggy to get advice on how to handle this.  Hint, it involves getting a needle in the arm.

In the same way a small child gets enjoyment out of getting what he wants after throwing a tantrum. 

Not even remotely close to true. Did you wear a mask around before this?  No. Why not? Because it’s not as comfortable. So I enjoy things that are more comfortable rather than less comfortable. I enjoy unprotected sex more than sex with a condom. I prefer wearing gym shorts to khaki’s when lounging at the house.  That’s pretty universal. As much as you want to make it about a tantrum it isn’t. It’s literally just logical and rational response to life.

It is quite clear from your posts that it is a tantrum. I dislike wearing pants and often don't wear them at home. I still wear pants in public almost everyone time I'm out. 

And, to be clear, I don't care that you aren't wearing a mask. Generally if given the option, I don't either. For instance, I did not wear a mask when in my seat at the Astros game this weekend. I did wear it when moving around the park because that was their policy. I just find your constant whining about this most minor inconvenience amusing and child-like. Do whatever you want, but if you're going to act like a bitch about it, I'm definitely going to laugh at you.

Seriously...the fuck is wrong with you? I'm not even a never-Walmarter--sometimes I'm feeling lazy and want to buy laundry detergent, fuel additives, bananas, and an HDMI cable from the same store--but come the fuck on. Sure, give me shittier quality food to avoid having to wear a mask for 15 minutes. Explains you profile picture, at least.

Anastasis beat me to if, but this may be the most aggy shit I’ve ever seen on this website.

All things being equal of course I would choose HEB. Our Walmart is fine. I didn’t say I buy everything there. Some things I would never buy there, but our HEB is a zoo. Way too crowded.

I’m aware that it was during Trump term that the CDC worked with teachers union to craft guidance. The point that was stated earlier stands. The CDC is a propaganda org run by unelected bureaucrats that In many ways harmed kids last year. They don’t have to be near me to know that it could affect our country.

Ok. So me saying I will avoid places pointlessly requiring me to wear a mask is a tantrum. Sure. Whatever. Laugh all you want. I somehow managed to navigate through life for a year of the pandemic without becoming a shit in or a super spreader. I went on vacations. I went out to eat. I wore my mask everywhere appropriate and managed to out myself in positions where I wasn’t forced to wear a mask bc it wasn’t appropriate the vast majority of the time. Now that it’s essentially never necessary or appropriate for me to need to wear a mask I won’t. It’s not a tantrum- it’s merely my personal preference for not engaging in unnecessary performative bullshit.

Or you could just try not being a bitch and use it as a teaching moment for your children that life has adversities and how to handle difficult situations. Sure, there are kids who have legit learning disabilities that it surely didn't help but the only people I know who are saying their kids couldn't handle virtual learning are the same people railing against mask policies and "tyranny". Kids are little sponges. If as a parent you are openly criticizing virtual learning and complaining about schools being closed, your child is going to pick up on it and the outcome will not be positive.

Maybe not tantrum level but it is very child-like.

This is such an unadulterated load of bullshit.  My kids are 10, 8 and 5.  My wife and I are super involved in their lives and making sure they learn and grow- as I'm sure 99.9% of the parents on this website are. I can't imagine there are more than a handful of people who post or lurk here who can't say the same.  That's not the people whose kids aren't handling virtual learning.  Those parents are likely going out of their way to make sure the kids don't get left behind.  you can agree with them or disagree with them but I can almost guarantee that they are doing what they need to do and that's not the kids getting left behind.  


The kids getting left behind are from poor and single family households who have almost no parental engagement in their life.  These are the kids that every school district identifies as "at risk".  Those are the kids that are getting fucked with an elephant dick on this whole virtual learning.  I taught school for a couple years.  I know who they are.  They aren't getting hot meals.  They aren't getting taught.  They aren't getting nurtured or supported. They are simply getting left behind, needlessly, and it is both cruel and heartbreaking.  The teachers unions and local municipalities in places like this have blood on their hands and if the world was just they'd be run out of their jobs on a rail.  But nobody cares about dirt poor rural white kids, or children of brown and black skin color in a big city district.  They say they do, but then they engage in policy like this year with "distance" learning that crushes them.

Well this answers if schools will have masks in the fall:

 

Good, businesses can keep the masks if they want. No problems here. And to add people still can go inside government buildings with masks if they want.

Yes, clearly it's the teachers fault for wanting to stay alive during a pandemic. Besides, those families just need to pull on their bootstraps harder. It's definitely not years of stagnant wage growth and growing income inequality brought on by bad economic policy (any day now, it'll start trickling, I'm sure of it). It's inconceivable that we'd put policy in place to help these people. Smells too much like socialism. Wait what? Spend money to provide additional funding to these school districts to overcome these hurdles? Not in my 'muricah!

It’s more attributable to monetary policy.

That plate of fried cheese and the pina colada sitting in front of you at Applebees begs to differ.

Awe, you don't like being called out? Don't you know this features lots of cr, but you're too scared to say how you really feel till you get to your area where few will wonder. I'm making sure people know and will laugh accordingly at y'all there if they want.

Where did I say that they were to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I said they are being failed. 
I have a heart for those kids. I left a lucrative career for a couple years so I could teach and coach high schoolers in an attempt to make a difference when I had the opportunity. 
this pandemic crushed those people and it’s a damn shame. 
mad far as “trying to stay alive” during the pandemic somehow 70 or 80% of the country managed to do in person school. Where did it not happen?  The places that could least afford to go to distance learning. 
Both your posts on this subject are incredibly tone deaf. Unfortunately, the systems that were shut down didn’t have strong enough advocates for those kids to be in person bc, well, nobody cares. 
I taught at a poor disadvantaged school, my kids learned and my kids passed their year end tests to the tune of 95%

None of what you wrote makes you any less of a pussy.

My post said nothing about fear and all about the hypocrisy of the party of local control making a rule penalizing any government body that wants to have their own local rules. I realize that post was difficult for you to get since it wasn’t in the form of a YouTube video.

Your post does allow me to say every accusation is a confession.( thanks @DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt) Local control is the person themselves. People just got the most control now that government is out of the way. Sorry that you can't force people to your will.

There is no hypocrisy.  Conservatives believe in state's rights due to the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution, which states “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”  That is the basis for the argument made by conservatives.

The Texas Constitution does not have an analogous provision. If the Texas Constitution contained a provision that stated—“The powers not delegated to the state by the U.S. and Texas Constitutions, nor prohibited by either to the state’s political subdivisions, are reserved to the political subdivisions respectively, or to the people”—the charge of hypocrisy might make some sense.

Making the cOnSeRvAtIvEs aRe hYpOcRiTeS argument about local control just makes you look like a dumb fuck, no offense.

Home Rule municipalities in Texas are analogous to your description of the protection made available under the Tenth Amendment.
