New York State will probably go red at some point in the next twenty years. It’s got an incredibly rare combination of some of the wealthiest capitalists in the country living in the same electorate as some of the poorest and most disillusioned. People forget that Trump was born, raised, and became wealthy in this state. That it has one of the most overfunded police departments on the planet. This kind of rhetoric would be expected from someone like desantis, but instead it’s coming from New York. Crazy.

    Knew that was the next step after supermarkets started using face recognition.

    Anyway, catching COVID has taught me that I never want this again. My mask is never coming off. They’ll have to arrest me.

      Yeah same, I managed to go 3 years without catching it and when I did it fucking sucked, and has fucked up my intestines in a way that’s likely permanent (and made me lactose intolerant). My partner came out worse than I did and now has fibromyalgia among other issues. I never want to catch that shit again, I’ve already become more of a hermit than I was in 2020, I don’t give a fuck about your laws you can take my mask off my corpse.
