Ya almost have to wonder if these people are being trolled. But I’m afraid the stupid has become so intense and widespread that they are not. I’ve got a COVID cure for them - lick your elbow. ---

After telling these assholes to eat shit and die for a year, the fact that they are willing to compromise with ‘I’ll drink piss and live’, is actually progress! ---

If you’re willing to dig the moat, go for it. Just make sure you don’t hit a gas line, or something. ---

ISTM that on the whole, it would be easier just to mark the putative moat with duct tape and declare the floor to be lava within the proscribed area. ---

When I was working for a defense contractor we had a couple reps from the German Air Force come in for a while on a project we were doing for them. Although they had clearances because they were _aliens_ TPTB put down black-and-yellow tape on the floor from the elevator bank to the area where they could be, including a path to the bathrooms. We dubbed it the Maginot Line. I’m not sure they were pleased. ---

Beat me to it. Doesn’t solve the mask problem though. Maybe spray the guy down with disinfectant every time you see him? ---

Three new members of the Wichita, Kansas school board got elected on a platform of doing away with masks. They showed up to their first school board meeting unmasked, and the president of the board dismissed the meeting without it ever convening. > **[A Wichita school board meeting ended before it even began after 3 new members...](https://www.insider.com/wichita-school-board-meeting-ended-after-members-refuse-wear-masks-2022-1)** > > The three non-compliant members, who were recruited to run by the county's Republican party, were meant to be sworn in at Monday's meeting. ---

It’s easier, albeit less truthful, to say “We’re complying with the ruling” rather than “Since we can’t hide behind OSHA any more, we’re gonna back down because we’re such chickenshit cowards that we make Ted Cruz look like Captain America”. ---
