I know it's fun to just bask in the outrage and not read the article, but they were only talking about employee Zoom calls with non-employees, not employees with each other like the headline seems constructed to have you believe.

“By wearing a mask while video conferencing with the general public, we visually remind folks that masking is an important part of navigating the business of natural resources during this tumultuous time,” Sheridan said.


Imagine! Leaders setting a positive example in order to encourage healthy behavior.


Imagine people actually understanding the pros and cons of a particular issue and then using reason and common sense to do the right thing instead of blindly imitating “leaders”.


Imagine thinking your fellow citizens are that smart.


Then why do we bother with Democracy? (Imagine thinking philosopher-princes are a viable alternative.)


Because it’s the least worst option.


a complete joke...worse than security theater...at least you only have to deal with that at the airport.
