I swear I'm not deaf, (then again, maybe I'm realizing I sort of am) but I can't understand a damn word anybody says that's wearing a mask! It's like having a convo with Charlie Brown's teacher. It's made me really paranoid about my hearing!! 😆😆

Seeing the mouth move is part of listening for most people. This is especially true when the person speaking has an accent unfamiliar to the listener. You're not deaf, just a normal person being forced to deal with a ridiculous psy-ops operation that has captivated America's sheep.

Good to know, I left the pharmacy the other day with a whole bunch of crap (old prescriptions that I never bothered to fill) because I just kept saying yes! 🙄

Tell me about it! Went to Home Depot today and a ten second exchange with the clerk ended up with her having to repeat herself for me to understand what she was saying. I thought I was going crazy! What!? What!?

The only six foot rule I abide by involves traitors and coffins.

The late great Mike Kelly had an article that he wrote about the era of big government being over. This is during the Clinton years. One of the things that they had to do was have a signer for every conversation. This is part of the full employment act. Every conversation you would have with just about anybody, some of it stand there and interpret in sign language. Even better, to make sure that there is full employment of an African Americans, there is a second signer who would sign in Ebonics. Wonderful article, had it printed in pasted in my cubicle many years ago.

Women who wear face masks are now hiding all three of their major sexual organs. :/

I got SO lucky at work yesterday. Had a Deaf customer looking for some things, so I got to go maskless for a while. Total immunity to Karen Stinkeye, perhaps even Reflective qualities, actively harming them with their own hatred.

Can't read lips behind a mask.

It's also why these Antifa types wear masks. So they can call black people "Uncle Tom"s and then point the finger at their boyfriends.

There was a deaf woman Working at Walmart who i asked for help only to find out she couldn’t hear me or read lips because I was wearing a mask. Horrible feeling. It must be truly isolating for deaf people in this world. I’m so sorry for them

Well, I don’t know about other deaf people, but I do know that most deaf people can’t read lips for shit. I can’t read lips for shit either. I only know basic shit like ‘no’, ‘mom’, ‘thank you’, ‘welcome’, etc. So, no, clear masks don’t help in my case.

Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, is the premiere institution of higher learning for the deaf for the entire world. It is also a cesspool of Leftist thought, so, although you might find that they would support your very excellent meme, they would not.

Even Gov Gruesome made an exception in his mask decree for deaf and hard of hearing peoples.

Seeing facial expressions is a big part of ASL.

Yeah, but that would be an exception for the people interacting with the deaf and hard of hearing, not the deaf and hard of hearing. I'd like to see how that exception is worded.

AHA! A technological answer is found!

We've seen those masks. So far they are a novelty.

Here is the relevant portion of Gov Gruesome's royal decree.

The following individuals are exempt from wearing a face covering:

• Persons age two years or under. These very young children must not wear a face covering because of the risk of suffocation.

• Persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering. This includes persons with a medical condition for whom wearing a face covering could obstruct breathing or who are unconscious, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to remove a face covering without assistance.

Persons who are hearing impaired, or communicating with a person who is hearing impaired, where the ability to see the mouth is essential for communication.

I'm ready - I haven't trotted it out yet, but here goes:

My cardiologist (I do have one) says I cannot suffer the oxygen deprivation of wearing a mask while moving around. Let's get him on the phone so we can document this for my ADA complaint.

We should really stop discriminating illiterates. The left are people, too.
