"Organizations that would have been involved in [the] event include the ACLU of Michigan, the Detroit Branch of the NAACP, the Detroit Bail Project, the Transgender Law Center’s Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project, the Marsha P. Johnson Institute, the Marshall Project and the Autistic People of Color Fund."
"Autistic People of Color Fund" -- TFW the timeline is such that the punchlines write themselves.
I received a call from a work client today just before Whitmer's latest press conference. He was concerned about rumors that restaurants, if not other businesses, might close down again today because his was shut for nearly three months before opening up roughly 3-4 weeks ago. He already said he can't handle another shut down and the financial hit against the business' montly fixed expenses and his own personal finances. I believe many other small business owners and employees in the state are equally squeezed.
Empirically, people seem to be 50/50 with wearing masks out in public. While trying to be mindful of the fact people may have legitimate reasons to not wear one, it's head-scratching to see people neither distancing nor wearing masks. It's more curious to see African Americans not wearing them when they're being cited as
the group most disproportionately hit by COVID-19.
Recently, the county sheriff here mentioned that over 90% of the calls the department takes from citizens reporting mask-related noncompliance end up unsubstantiated. I imagine this is why so many law enforcement agencies across the state are going on the record to say something along the lines of, "Don't bother us with your trifling mask complaints, we have actual police work to do. Go tell the officials who care."
Cloth masks over here are made locally by small cottage industries since the demand just blew up. Soros ain't seeing a cent from this Chinese gay op.
I know someone who had to stop working to take care of an elderly parent and this person is making/selling various styles of cloth masks to make up for not working. While I'm not sure this affects Soros in a significant way given his large personal wealth, it's still nice to see people are willing to support individuals or small businesses trying to keep themselves afloat with their mask production and sales. If that somehow drives Soros batty in any way, it's priceless and worth every penny.
Edit to add: in a conference encouraging everyone to wear masks, Michigan State University's Tom Izzo, head men's basketball coach, is shown not wearing one. Nice optics.
Michigan's governor cautioned those reopenings could be reversed if people wear masks
