It worked for a while, but now no one seems to be concerned they will be sued for discriminating on the basis of a medical condition anymore. I can't help but believe its because they are more afraid of the health department fining them, but that's another issue entirely. I called the ADA hotline and asked about it. The girl on the line said "they can make protocols in the interest of public safety. This includes requirements to ware a mask or a face shield. I pressed her about how this can supersede those with a medical condition that prevents them from wearing a mask. The short and shit answer was too damn bad.

I am not surprised by any of this mind you. I knew the masks were never about safety or health from the beginning, and no amount of evidence as to the ineffectiveness of masks since then has changed any(government) minds about it, nor will it. The simple truth is the masks are a half-life 2 pop can.

In the game this is a test of submission. It is designed to show the player that they are in a dystopian hell hole. The masks, which have no medical justification whatsoever, and in fact are dangerous, are just this - a test of submission.

I am sure everyone here understands that perfectly well, but for the time being I... WE need to find another way to deal with this. I won't cave. I will lose my job before I do, but so much the better if I don't have to.

So time to get down to brass tacks. What is the most effective way to ramrod this or any exemption through at work or the doctors office? If the answer is "lawyer" or "sue them", remember I'll need to start with a lawyer that will even see me without a mask, and is willing to fight this. That is a pickle right there since most will also be posed.

I need details. How do I go about finding the right lawyer, what do I say, how do I present myself? What exactly are my rights?

I'm in Indiana btw. There isn't any standing public mask mandate that I am aware of, but all the medical offices that I've checked (many) all said masks are required. I have been thrown out of several places when I booked an appointment and tried just showing up in spite of the mandates. I've said and done everything short of suing to bully this through, all to no avail. Clearly that strat isn't working anymore either. Work is now starting to press this issue again. The one manager said if they don't they will get fined. That is a problem right there.

This isn't as simple as not giving my business to a lefty restaurant. Medical and work are serious and worth fighting for.

I'm grateful for any advice.

Just don’t wear it. What are they going to do about it? Nothing.

So far so good, but if it ever comes down to it my cab driver could refuse to move until I mask. That will mean we don't ever move of course, or at least until the police come to take me away. I would expect I'd lose my job for "failure to follow instructions" at that point. I'd most likely have to find a taxi or an uber on my own willing to take me home as well, since I doubt work will provide me transportation after firing me on the spot deep in Chicago. That could be difficult.

Its so easy to say they won't do anything, but the reality is they can fuck you if they want. I'm ok with losing my job over this, but I'm not sure about how the cops will handle it. If they show up and try to arrest me and then hold me down and put a mask on me I don't know how I will respond. Fighting back just gives them more justification to fuck me, but not fighting back is cowardly, and is the reason we are in this mess to begin with.
