OK, i so see this posted a lot on the texags political board. What, specifically, are they trying to maintain control of?
Is the narrative here that all Federal gov just gets off on telling people what to do for 'reasons'? I am guess this applies to both parties, right? I mean, the gov is already so intertwined in the lives of everyday people, I just can't fathom how this mask thing is finally the straw that broke the camel's back. you pay fed taxes, fed sets levels for the air you breathe, the water you drink, the food you eat, the medicine you take, the drugs you can use. Fed has restrictions on who you can sell to, who you can buy from, what types of goods you can sell/buy. when, where and how you can make use of federal land. Then there is all the money the Fed gov doles out to states, most of it with conditions for use ... but CDC 'recommendation' for masks was over the line and is about 'maintaining control'?
that said, I had also hoped for more relaxed guidance from CDC on masking wrt vaxed people. Camps should be able to do what they want and if their customers complain enough, they might change their stance. I am sure there is a calculation concerning a civil suit from the small chance of death of a camper or staff vs loss of business due to mask requirements. It's prudent from a liability standpoint to follow CDC guidelines and that's the rub to folks wanting to eliminate the restrictions.
