I'm a superintendent for a multi-state healthcare consortium, so I'm always in hospitals and always required to wear a mask when in proximity to others.

If you refused to wear a mask on my projects, I'd respect your rights and your good sense, however, I'd have to send you home and you'd not be allowed back until you agreed to wear a face diaper. Their rules, not mine.

I could quit my job in protest, but I'm not wealthy and so I comply or I let my family go broke. I happen to love this job, so what do you suggest? I know a crime against humanity is occurring and that my "silence is compliance" as the shrill little commie bastards like to say, but in my state, they've destroyed the economy and I seriously doubt I could land a similar position here any time soon.

We are looking into other states, as I have young kids and I want them out of this commie shithole. I'll probably have to move my wife and kids to some place a little less authoritarian, and then I'll fly home to see them every couple of weeks, as that's what I think it'll take for the next couple of years.

I will stand beside you when and if the time comes, but I'm not going to sacrifice my family's livelihood and potentially my life, until I can know that I'll not be standing alone.
