Sort of. You know that there are multiple folks here who get all snowflakey when an anti-masker faces consequences.

I can’t think of anyone else who thinks a private company can’t dictate its own rules.  At least not any cons.

Gotbeer was the one who brought this story up in the first place.

Everyone says they believe private businesses can dictate their own rules, until a private business does something they disagree with.

Or the cake place that wouldn't bake a cake for gay people.

Both sides have their cognitive dissonance.

More died of suicide in month here than during COVID pandemic

Japan is struggling with a mental health crisis as the coronavirus pandemic rages on, with more people dying in one month from suicide than from COVID-19 all year long.

The National Police Agency said suicides surged to 2,153 in October alone, with more than 17,000 people taking their own lives this year to date, CBS reported.

By comparison, fewer than 2,000 people in the country have died from COVID-19 in 2020. 

Experts say the pandemic has exacerbated mental health issues due to prolonged lockdowns, isolation from family members, unemployment and other financial concerns, and a lack of school structure.

NYC couple has given 10,000 backpacks, 200 gallons of sanitizer to homeless during pandemic

Even before the coronavirus hit the U.S., Jeffrey Newman and Jayson Conner were committed to helping the homeless. 

But as New York City started shutting down in March, the couple knew they had to work even harder to help those in need.

“We knew we were an essential service,” Newman told Fox News. “We knew we had a job to do.”

Newman and Conner run a nonprofit program called Backpacks for the Street, which gives packs filled with between 45 and 50 items including food, toiletries, emergency blankets, sewing kits, feminine hygiene products, hand sanitizer and masks to people in need around New York City.

Since March 13, Backpacks for the Street has handed out more than 10,000 backpacks, 200 gallons of hand sanitizer and 18,000 masks, the couple told Fox News. 

Newman said they hand out about 300 backpacks a week.

I’ve driven past Manzanar for years and finally did the drive through tour last year. It was very informative and unbelievable that something like that happened here in our recent history

It's awful that the public knew what was going on but turned a blind eye.

We do the same things today. I wonder how we'll be judged by future generations for atrocities we tolerated.
