The mask thing is a violation of really old commerce laws in that public trading within markets are not supposed to be hindered. Requiring a mask is a form of obstructing the buyer. In a transaction between a buyer and a seller, there is not supposed to be discrimination or things that can interfere with those types of transaction. I am not talking legally within private settings on private property. But if a store is open to the public, then they are not legally allowed to discriminate based on anything which includes masks. In some states and in some places, they have laws and rules which forbids masks. That is right, masks are illegal and not allowed in some places. Now, sadly, some people don't know this. That is why we must teach people law. We must teach children law. It doesn't have to be complicated law training. It only takes five seconds to see a picture of a mask law. When I say mask law, I mean when a store bans masks which has been the case for decades or longer. They don't know if you want to rob the store or bank, that is why they ban masks. Robbers wear masks. So, they ban masks. But also, requiring masks interferes with commerce laws. The free market is supposed to be governed by international commerce laws which has been around for thousands of years. If a place is not compliant with these ancient international commerce laws, then they are in violation therein and therefore not a part of an actual free market. So, any place that requires masks are not only in contrast with places that banned masks many decades ago but they are also in contrast with free markets.
