Unless you assemble because you want to work. Then the media will paint you in the worst light possible an act like you are actively murdering grandma.

Idk about the media but I, personally, definitely judge you. Care about something that matters and not just yourself.

    I think the ship has sailed for that kind of support from the government, unfortunately, in no small part due to reopening.

      To what extent is/should government be responsible for this?

        Obviously a “values” question, but if “tackling collectivized problems collectively” ain’t on the government’s list, I’m not sure why I’m paying taxes, and our government’s bi-partisan efforts to collectively address this pandemic are currently the most pathetic in the world. The only place you see half-way decent propositions is before they hit the chopping block on Pelosi’s desk—this ain’t partisan. Frankly the US government is rapidly losing any legitimacy to rule, though of course this is my humble opinion.

  The GP was a bad comment for HN but crossing into aggressive personal attack is even worse.

  Does what someone is carrying - but not using - make their assembly invalid? Does what someone think make their assembly invalid?

    >Does what someone think make their assembly invalid? Point out above where GP said those assemblies were invalid. Pro tip: they did not. Their right to assembly is not fundamentally invalidated, but the protesters are certainly open to a variety of critiques.

      You're right. That comment didn't actually say or contribute anything at all. Consider my comment withdrawn.
