it will be interesting how the mask thing will play out after this all slows down or is done or whatever happens. There will be business that will be allowed to say "no shoes no shirt no mask no service". that's their right. and their stores will probably be trashed by asshole trumpkins. especially if they are of asian descent.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0

The one that resonates most with me is this:
"An obligatory tweet to say that I'm not anti-mask by any means (see my pic). I just think the amount of effort we've spent debating mask mandates is probably not worth the marginal effectiveness & resulting polarization. A better message: Want to drop your mask? Get vaccinated."
If Biden simply appeared tomorrow without wearing a mask and said "Be like Joe - get jabbed and take off that damn mask!" - would all your whining stop, and would you get the vaccine? If that's all it takes for you and the millions of unreasonable skeptics to do an about face, then fuck it, I'm all for it. Can you confirm that would be the case for you?

But debating his point... the problem is that you can't determine how effective masks were/ are because you can't factor compliance. He's saying the mandates may have caused lower compliance (using his alcohol analogy). Do speed limits make people drive faster? Do seat belt laws make fewer people wear belts? Dunno, but that seems to be his conclusion.0 -
I would think compliance doesn't work the same way for telling someone to do something (seat belts) as opposed to telling someone not to do something (taking away booze). no?mrussel1 said:

I have no idea. I do remember that seat belt laws were a huge deal here when they went in. In fact, we would have seat belt check points at baseball fields and such. People coming in/out would get tickets. It was a generational thing and it took many years to change the culture of wearing belts.HughFreakingDillon said:

As a transportation professional, I can tell you that adding lanes does not ease congestion and in fact sometimes makes it worse. I'm not really sure that makes his mask point true, but I guess it's evidence for the general need to watch out for unintended consequences. And I agree with you that we'll never truly know mask effectiveness because of compliance levels (and nose-out clowns).

yeah, I remember that. I was born in 74, so I grew up with it being law, but still not widely enforced or accepted. My family did, but I recall being in a lot of cars with friends and their parents who didn't.mrussel1 said:

My boomer parents were dragged kicking and screaming towards wearing seat belts. They grew up riding in cars that didn't have them. They thought seatbelts were "uncomfortable." It was a rare instance as kid where we flipped roles. By the time the seat-belt laws took hold, they were over it. The seat-belt laws were always an interesting debate but anecdotally, I don't really feel like I saw resistance because of the law. Non-wearers were usually old-schoolers that couldn't get into the habit. But I really don't think the laws impacted the culture one way or another. That said, there was no internet and Fox News. Could they have actually caused people to not wear seat-belts out of spite? (I'd say no; the belts protect the wearer while the masks protect others. The latter isn't very attractive to lib-owners.)mrussel1 said:
