s getting dragged back into these heinous crime stories.

All right. As I was noting recently, and tell me if this is the same where you live. So where I live or anywhere that I could drive to in my area, mask compliance at restaurants is basically zero. Meaning that you put it on to talk to the hostess, you sit down, you take it off, and then you're done. You might put it on when you're leaving, but nobody's going to care because you're already leaving. What are they going to kick you out if you try to leave the restaurant without your mask? Are they going to say, I'm sorry, you can't leave this restaurant not until you put that mask on? Oh, what are they going to do? I mean they'd have to say, can you get out of here right away? And you'd say, well that's what I'm doing. I'm walking from here to the door.

So the reason I bring this up is now restaurants were probably the weakest link in the mandatory stuff. Restaurants were going to go first, I think, because the restaurant owners, a lot of them are independents, and a lot of them just said no, I can't compete that way. Because the restaurant right across the street, I don't think they're going to be too tough on masks. So if I'm tough on masks and the restaurant directly across the street is not, I'm done.

So the market pretty much forced the restaurants to ignore the mandatory mask thing. I mean the employees wear them, you know, and not all of them. You'll see some people who are not wearing them even to work there. But here's what I want to remind you. There are two problems about the mandatory restrictions. One is all the problems of the mandatory restrictions, you know, the physical things that prevent you from doing what you want. But the second part is how it feels. Am I right?

It's not just bad enough that they're restricting you from doing all this you want to do. That's bad because you can't do the stuff or you have to wear a mask and it's uncomfortable. But I'll tell you one of the biggest problems is it feeling like somebody made you do it. And doesn't that really get under your skin? It's not my choice and I wouldn't have chosen this. They're making me do it. It just pisses you off, right?

So let me tell you something just to make you feel better about that part. The public already decided
