There's no such thing as technical superiority, it's one of the bullshit terms they made for the Olympics that isn't based on reality, and judges are the kind of people that perpetuate it. A guy can go out and wrestle his way to a gold medal and that's great, but it's not just about winning and nothing else is sacred. It's also how you get a job done, and a gold medal doesn't make you better than the next guy, that's never the point. Hopefully being better than others is not why people dream of being in the Olympics, no matter their country. Once something goes beyond getting as far as you take yourself to one person being better than another, it's not a good thing for people to reach for.
There are technically skilled athletes, and they are champions in their own right, but telling them they are technically superior or that there is such a thing as technical superiority to another human being is wrong, and it's not a trend that should continue. The Olympics are meant to be games, not a superiority measuring contest or battle. That is not enjoyable for anybody, including the athletes (though the judges and announcers might get off on that sort of thing).

Like vaccines and testing kits, masks are a source of profit for a few people whenever lots of people start buying them. If you're someone in the business of selling masks, medical supplies, vaccines, or test kits, why wouldn't you want rules to dictate people's lives pushed on them? You can tell them it's a win win for them, meanwhile you make all their money.
New rules and restrictions create a demand for masks that wasn't there before the rules and restrictions. Since a supplier benefits the most from all of this, wouldn't you think the suppliers were the same ones writing the rules, restrictions, guidelines, and laws?

The reverse man child found the courage to steal on that dude that he/she never had as a kid, though he had had his eye blacked before, and didn't know what what was particularly impressive about it.

People are going to see with their eyes that the guy isn't Kevin Costner, he's just some guy infatuated with a girl in a catsuit, then what? It's not for lack of trying to convince them that he really is Kevin Costner that they'll see.

The strange one that wears camoflage pants and hangs out around otherwise happy or peaceful people barking at them all day.
Not even Santa Claus or the parrot lady caught a break this Christmas, they both got dragged from the public square and arrested.

Even a staggering number of deaths such as a couple hundred thousand is still a small number of the world's population, as a couple million is a small number of the world's population. A lightning strike or a shark attack is a real danger, it's not a hoax, and it is potentially deadly, but for how long does each person that watched the movie Jaws or Twister (or saw footage of one of these incidents on the news) let the risk dictate their entire future life (whether they go outside or in the ocean again). A year and a half into the pandemic, you would think people would wake up. For how much longer do you take every order, follow every mandate, and fall into every line you are told to? When will people realize that the darkest hour comes when they allow it by dreaming or sleepwalking instead of waking up and fighting?
The coronavirus can kill you, so can lightning, wild animals, diseases, other people, car accidents, falls, and an endless list of things you can go through life letting fear dictate what you do and don't do. A life not lived seems worse than getting sick, life is worth losing. By living every day, you are endangering yourself and other people, when you drive to work, you are potentially endangering yourself and other people, you are part of the problem like everyone else is, and it's unavoidable.
