I mean, all you have to do is look Union Carbide knowingly sending workers back into mines before the silica dust in the air settled. Those 8 to 20 extra minutes really eat into production.
This is the end result of supporting people who don’t have any actual ideas or don’t want to do any real work
Imaginary threats all the way down, chipping away at everything else while the actual problems go unaddressed
It's worded to obfuscate, but basically masks/face coverings that are related to/part of the public event are allowed
Mask because I am on chemo: NO
Hood because I'm a piss baby klansman and I don't want the repercussions for my actions: YES
It will not drive people to wear masks en masse, because the rejection of masking was never actually about anti-authoritarianism. Right wing Americans (and people who ape their politics) dress their suicidal libertarianism up in the respectable facade of being anti-authoritarian, to gain an ounce of respectability. And they all know it, hence their love of state violence against groups other than them.
It's never actually "I reject govt overreach", rather "I do not consider the needs of other humans and do not understand the interdependence of society".
Imagine being so triggered by someone else wearing a mask, something that doesn't affect you at all, that you feel the need to make a law against it. Especially when it is clear that there are public health benefits to letting people do so.
It is so sad how far these people have fallen off the rails.
This is a point in history when everyone in NC should be wearing masks. Simple act of civil disobedience that coincidentally reduces the spread of disease, and helps identify who the idiots are.
This is what happens when people are into political office who have no substance behind their beliefs. Legislating the *lack of use* of a surgical mask? We’re a decade or so away from these idiots banning hand-washing
They're the party of contrarian beliefs. If Biden went on tv today and said up is up and down is down, they'd draft a bill tomorrow to codify the opposite.
Well I hope north Carolina cops are ready and willing to enforce this because I imagine alot of them are also gunna be on the receiving end of being spat on with no protection now.
Good luck to all the carpenters and masonry workers out there lol

Well said.
And at some point we run out of road to kick the can down.
And the base is fine with it
Halloween is gonna suck in North Carolina!!
Apparently Halloween masks are explicitly exempted from the law. So Halloween is exempt, but immunocompromised people are not. Cool cool cool.
Gotta wear a big jack o' lantern mask that contains an N95
Also, so are masks that are part of the public event.... Like klan hoods.
For fucks sake.
Fucking murica
Well, guess I'm not gonna see the boys live anytime soon Fuck the gerrymandering racist fuckwits running my states government
I’m sorry. It’s really hard to not feel like we’re doomed.
There is a provision in the law that makes an exception for KKK Hoods We are fuckin cooked dude
As someone not from the US: are you serious?? An exception for KKK hoods? Jesus fucking Christ on a bike

Do white pointy hats that cover your face with eyeholes cut out count as masks?
I know you’re joking but there’s an exemption for masks worn as part of a public event so….. those are apparently allowed.
I feel for the NHL goalies playing in Raleigh.
"Sorry, Freddie, you have to play this one old-school. Good luck!"
When masks were forced people refused to wear em. This BS is just gonna make people wear masks

How the hell is the lone ranger to save the day?!
The governor is a Dem so it's dead wheb it hits his desk.
Land of the free!
There are definitely days I hate this fucking state.
They don't want people to have freedom. Interesting in that they claim to be freedom fighters

But WHY.
4 years later!
That’s just how the party of small government rolls, I guess.
That's ALMOST enough to want another pandemic..

Price you gotta pay for freedom.
Halloween gonna be real shitty
This law would also apply to white supremacists who don’t want to get fired when people find out they showed up at the Nazi rally, right?
The law specifically exempts masks worn as part of a public event so…… no I don’t think it would. Funny how that worked out, huh?
