Terrible. Shame on the parents who allowed their kids to partake in this photo op.
They live in a nightmarish, alternate universe and we let them shove it down our throats for nearly two years.
We deserved it. We are disgusting, shameless slugs.
One cannot help but wonder if these sorts of photo ops are some kind of demented fetish or desperately playing to a very vocal base, because it would seem they have to realize just how bad this looks but just don’t care. Or maybe the bubble is really that impenetrable.
Jason, my vote goes to the bubble really being that impenetrable. I try to choose ignorance and stupidity over mendacity whenever possible. 🤣

Everything about Hochul’s personal history suggests she’s a midwit whose viewpoint is thoroughly conventional within a certain matrix. It’s a reasonable wager that as a boss she’s either a hall monitor or given to multi-directional placation.
Portside politics is constitutionally different from starboard politics. One way it differs is that it’s quite faddish. Another is that it is regulated by a that’s-not-us shame culture which is straight out of high school. It’s doubtful Hochul has the background and brains to critically evaluate a study on the effectiveness of various infection-control measures; if what Dr. Atlas discovered during his time in the Trump administration applies in Albany, we can wager the ‘public health officials’ advising her are institutional politicians who do not read studies either; and ‘everyone’ she associates with has certain attitudes because mask skeptics and vaccine skeptics are ‘them’, and that’s not us.
One of the people I come across in fora like this is Dr. Michael Kennedy, a retired surgeon living in Arizona. He’s quite clear about what masks have been used for and why. They’re to inhibit bacterial infection of open wounds. In surgeries where infection control is exceptionally important (he mentioned hip replacements), something akin to a hazmat suit is worn by the surgeon. They have not been used to inhibit viral infections because they’re not much good for that. Stem to stern, the medical profession has known this all along, but it is not influencing policy at all.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the new generation will hate their elders more than any generation before has.

This account may be tendentious, but it looks as if the karenwaffe has taken over the police force and DA’s office in a small town in north Georgia.
And about the person who grassed them up. Someone once pointed out that Jesus injunction to love your enemies and love your neighbors was informed by the observation that they’re commonly the same people.
Hochul is a helpful reminder that Lieutenant Governors are like Vice Presidents, only much less so.

The quasi-elective understudy positions should be eliminated in the federal government and the state governments. (They seem to be quite rare in local government). What might be helpful would be if state law permitted governors to appoint a set of lieutenant governors to be assigned portfolios of state agencies to supervise, with the Governor supervising the lieutenant governors, his chief of staff, and a selection of agency chiefs of cardinal importance generally or given the priorities of the administration in question. The state’s succession law could provide for a short-term successor (8-9 months) drawn from a rank-ordered roster of state officials to serve while a new governor was chosen by an electoral college of county counselors. Successors to elected officials with a specialized book (e.g. state treasurer) could be elected by the state legislature.
Do you recall the infamous photos from the 40’s and thereabouts?
The one’s of proud white supremacists smiling in the foreground, while a African American is hanging from a tree.
Horrible that image.
In not so distant of the future the above photo will invoke a less horrific reaction from the masses, however one that’s disturbing nonetheless.
I’m sure the good old boy’s thought they were doing a service to their community back then.
Right now, my humble guess, is that only about half of America see the shame in the above photo.
The Red wave can’t come soon enough.

The most widely circulated photo was taken in Marion, Indiana in 1930.
About half the lynchings tracked by the University of Missouri Kansas City occurred prior to 1902. The number was at its peak around 1892/93 and in rapid decline thereafter. Between 1920 and 1935, the annual frequency of lynchings was about 1/2 of what it had been immediately after the 1st world war. There weren’t that many lynchings in the 1940s. The most famous of them was the bloc lynching of six men in Georgia in 1946, which wasn’t photographed.
Right now, my humble guess, is that only about half of America see the shame in the above photo.
Huh?
Thank you Art for the historical lynching data. My guess was incorrect, 40’s.
The shame of the toddlers lined up in front, as if the adults are virtue signaling. Are all the children sick and they wish to contain the virus as best as possible? What is this?
Masks don’t work. That in the future more than 90% of Americans will see this masquerade for what it is, children masked.
If all Americans would see this photo in twenty years from now they probably would shame the action.
My assumption is that 1/2 of the Americans already do feel that this action, mandatory masks for toddlers, is nothing but virtue signaling.
