I think the difference is that "trusting science" means you trust data, analysis, the scientific method, etc. The C-SPAM COVID thread trusts science. But "Trusting The Science is just religious deflection to the people that you have declared to be the authorities and worshipping whatever they say as the unilateral truth, and the moment that truth changes as declared by the authorities you immediately change and never acknowledge they ever said anything different. The D&D Covid thread Trusts The Science.

The GBS thread trusts Joe Rogan.

I don't know what Threadless CS is like but the DTG company my mate worked at would do a reprint for free if their vendor made a mistake on shirt style/colour and let them keep the original shirt because it was cheaper than paying for return shipping. Worth a try to reach out, anyway. Two excessively, but varyingly hued, pink shirts for the price of one? Buddy, that's what I call Value

https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/st-louis-county-judge-to-issue-order-soon-on-mask-mandate/

quote:

ST. LOUIS– The two sides battling over the St. Louis County mask mandate have failed to reach a compromise. Circuit Judge Ellen Ribaudo said she will issue an order shortly.

Yesterday, Judge Ribaudo told the attorneys for the Missouri Attorney General and St. Louis County keep trying after they failed to reach a compromise.

The legal battle comes after the attorney general’s office filed a suit contesting St. Louis County’s mask mandate.

St. Louis County’s attorney told the judge Wednesday the county offered a compromise. It was willing to publish a memo stating the mask policy would not be enforced unless there was an extraordinary case. Many critics of the mandate contend the order had no real enforcement mechanism in place.

The attorney representing the state told the judge the state would accept a mask recommendation but not a continuation of what he called an “unlawful” order.

Supporters of the mandate say a recent increase in COVID-19 cases, including younger patients, warrants action. Some business owners expressed frustration and confusion after the St. Louis County Council voted on July 27 to overturn the mandate, one day after the mandate went into effect. St. Louis County Executive Dr. Sam Page has insisted the mandate remained in place.

“The judge is trying to get the elected officials to do their job,” said St. Louis-area attorney Jay Kanzler.

He believes a compromise would result in a greater buy-in from the public and expects a court battle to involve politics.

lmao what is the midpoint between a mandate and no mandate? wtf
