This. I hope none of you had to endure air travel in the height of the absurd Biden administration's unscientific mask mandates. The poor Delta flight attendants had to go row to row making sure toddlers were wearing a piece of fabric over their face, which the kid would take off every 15 seconds. It was traumatic for me, the staff, my kid, and those around us. And it was all for nothing. I will never forget what they've put us through.

Notably, I caught COVID for the first and only time when I had a flight just a few weeks after they dropped the mask mandate for flights.
- TurkishPoptart 3y agoYes, the Biden admin created the airline mask mandate via executive order. It was shut down by a court, at which point the Biden admin promptly tried to fight for its reinstatement and thankfully lost.

- jjeaff 3y agoAll airlines were already requiring masks for all passengers and employees by that point. The mandate just gave them cover and removed the competitive pressure to stop requiring masks.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoYep, it was absurdly funny in hindsight though, like my out of state buddies who were putting their kid through zoom kindergarten instead of home schooling.
- TurkishPoptart 3y agoI'm sorry, but I can't see anything funny about closing the schools across the country because of a virus that didn't directly threaten their lives in retrospect. With the literacy rate and school absentee rate, we're going to see a generation of some of the least capable adults in modern history.
