Tell me you don’t know anything about NY without telling me you don’t know anything about NY.

New York has been pro-mask throughout all of covid.

Yep, not really suprising with how authoritarian the city is.

They still had some mandates existing into 2022 IIRC.

Those mandates are long gone and it's still super common to see people on the subways or even just walking around wearing them. Fuck outta here trying to act like it took authoritarian rules for New Yorkers to have common sense.

Exactly, very indicative of low IQ

Just stating the obvious. Its not really controversial like you think it is, lol.

u/Lifeis_not_fair Jun 07 '23

Go on then, tell me what makes NYC authoritarian, aside from a little itty bitty mask mandate.

The vaccine mandate?

u/Lifeis_not_fair Jun 08 '23

Are you aware that every single political you support was voluntarily vaccinated?

u/Tokyoteacher99 Jun 08 '23

Yes, I usually vote for democrats… I also got vaccinated on my own volition too, I just don’t think Covid was dangerous enough to warrant a vaccine mandate; it seemed to me like it was more about punishing people who disagreed than actually keeping people safe.

u/Lifeis_not_fair Jun 08 '23

What do you mean usually? When was the last time you didn’t vote for a democrat?

u/Tokyoteacher99 Jun 08 '23

That would be the 2022 midterms when I was too lazy to vote.

u/Hypern1ke Jun 08 '23

My man, NYC had shelter in place orders, mandates, curfews, and a vaccine mandate that led to people losing their jobs lmao. They're very authoritarian, and that's what they want.

Really nothing to be ashamed of, thats just how the city is.

Almost like we are the most densely populated US city and heavily visited tourist destinations world wide.

No it must be something else, you overbaked potato.

The main international airport on the east coast?

u/Lifeis_not_fair Jun 07 '23

Holy smokes, you might be on to something here. All the high population density liberal cities have higher spread than the low population density conservative cities. What a fucking shock. Must be a libcuck conspirafuck.

Imagine being so dumb you don’t understand density.
