I support y'all wearing masks, but fuck a mask when it's above 90°F and I'm doing manual labor. I need to drink about 32oz an hour and at that rate I'm yanking the mask down constantly, and meanwhile the humid air from my breath is making me sweat through the mask. It was a nightmare. I'd rather just fucking die.

yeah masks in hot weather are very unpleasant

They're pretty great in cold weather, though. No chapped lips!

100%. You are not the problem, the problem is the government and its corporate controllers who decided to just let it run rampant.

Are you talking outside? Even at the height of the pandemic there was no reason to wear a mask unless you where going to a rock concert or such. I usually only had one on outside when going into or coming from indoors like a store or such.

Factory labor. You think they're gonna waste money on air conditioning?
