As a retail worker I was dealing with people without masks on day 1. People coughing in my direction, people being jackasses. Why are people like this?

My take is because people are largely selfish and ignorant beyond their day to day life. Their favorite politicians/personalities told them masks infringe upon their freedoms and they bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Once someone is convinced theyโ€™re right, no amount of evidence or information will sway them. Especially now since they have ready access to any echo chamber of their choice and itโ€™s super easy to filter out dissenting information.

Masks infringe upon their freedom, until they are doing Fashy Marches through cities, then suddenly masks are A-OK and they have no trouble breathing in them.

Amazing how that works, innit?
