If you aren't willing to risk a minimal fine to defend your rights, you can't claim to be ready for the real fight that is coming.
This is an escalation process. We don't just go from silent majority to 1776. We must progress through the steps and inspire the will to fight in those around us before they will wake up.
Might I suggest a fund created to help pay fines for violations?
Edit: to be clear, I'm not anti-mask. I'm anti-mandate. If you are symptomatic then you should be wearing a mask to prevent transmission.
Unfortunately, in San Antonio- there's not much of a choice. Again, I only give a shit about the penalties to the businesses and that's what these sick fucks (mostly elected) counted on. If the mandates were personal fines- I wouldn't give a fuck.
I say make em pay and then they might get on the backs of their politician buddies to end this bs.
I agree. My problem is government making the rules for citizens and business owners alike. It’s a clear over reach. In my area lots of businesses were making their own rules before the mandates, and they were reasonable. If left up to the people, for the most part people will do the right thing. Reasonable precautions that would make sense in any cold/ flu season.
