Being a lifelong resident of Philadelphia, it boggles my mind how people keep voting Democrats into office. Between the repeated corruption and incompetence, it’s hard to find anything the city’s leaders do that benefits anyone. Things are so bad that it often feels as though the city government is a comedy troupe deliberately making every wrong choice to amuse an audience — except there’s no audience, and this is real life. Philadelphia’s recent decision to impose a new mask mandate is the latest example of this comedy of errors because there are no scientific data supporting this decision.

Philadelphia has gone from “trust the science” to “create the science” with this new masking mandate. The decision defies every medical recommendation and suggestion for masking. It even goes against the latest masking recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a result, Philadelphia Democrats undermined the CDC.
