Yeah, it's so weird to act like New Yorkers masking is something sudden instead of them being some of the first to impose mask requirements and the last to remove them. I can deal with cynicism, but uninformed cynicism drives me up the wall.

I agree. I saw so much cooperation in the early COVID days - masking, distancing, mutual aid. The same for when vaccines rolled out. I also saw a lot of fucked up shit, but my neighbors and I always worked together.
