IMO it was all about trying people out - see how far they can be pushed. Pretty far, huh? I never wore a mask and lost my job because I refused to come to work with my airway blocked. Also received some pretty aggressive comments out in public but that only strengthened my resolve to not comply with anything. One of my favorite quotes: "I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest." ~ Henry David Thoreau, On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.

You lost your job for not masking? That's insane. People seem to forget how crazy the last few years actually have been.

I did. I worked for a branch of the YMCA and when I balked at wearing a face mask - with a filter underneath it, no less - they took me off the schedule and then terminated my employment after 7 years. And that was prior to the jab rollout!
