look around...people are out and about, not wearing masks. Not because of capitalism, but because people want to be around people

People want to be around people when they are socializing. When people are at work, they want to work.
If people wanted to be wheezed on by hundreds of unmasked strangers every day, then their employers wouldn't be putting so much effort into strong-arming them back into the office.

Very Reddit opinion. Issue is much more about commuting. It’s a fringe segment that gives a shit about being around unmasked people. Not at all mainstream.

don’t listen to these people. you’re right. most people don’t wear masks (not half like this person is saying). all you need to do is walk around manhattan to see that.
sometimes i need to remind myself that only a mere fraction of people in the city have reddit. people in this sub/thread do not represent public opinion.

It's also about that, and also about contemporary offices being just plain miserable places to work.

Nah, that's completely false. At least half the people I see in public indoor spaces are wearing masks.

Half? Lol I see 20% on the train, bars are packed. Very difficult to get reservations, as it usually is this time of the year when things are normal. You see maybe 1/200 in places like this wearing a mask

I know who here would let fellow man die so that you can go about your day “unbothered”

Yes, me and nearly everyone else in the city? Look around, almost nobody wears masks and bars and restaurants are packed and nobody is wearing them in either
