I don’t.
Even if the masks were actually being used properly, people who need masks the most after the sick, are the people we pay the lowest, retail workers, food service, people who come in contact with extreme numbers of people on a daily basis.
Well paid tech employees can work from home, take 2 weeks of sick days and continue to make thousands a week.
These people will come into work even if they’re anything short of dying because they’re more likely to live paycheck to paycheck when we don’t pay them enough, and the free market has decided not to give them sick benefits that we all benefit from.
The free market is actually externalizing the issue to all of at this point. Don’t give workers enough sick days and keep all that profit, but then when the workers end up spreading the virus as a result of their boneheaded policies, the public will suffer, and the government will pay dearly.
