It’s a government agency with a dot com TLD, so you know it’s trustworthy.
I wonder if the 800 number is legit?
They are, indeed, forgetting to be awesome.
OK. (Accepting what is on the card at “face value.”)
Where is your face shield?
Yes, and appears to be (WIX hosted) 404 compliant.
You don’t have to, as it’s not.
Noobs.
The Freemen on the land could ‘teach’ this outfit a thing or two about how to really do theatrically pseudolegal antisocial tendencies. Depending on the ADA means that They have already almost finished using your fictitious legal name to drag you to admiralty court.
Wearing a face mask posses [sic] a mental and/or physical risk to me
I do love a good posse
Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that a company involved in web hosting would choose a cable clump made of of one USB cable with Type A connector (silver shielding in transparent insulation); what looks like an RCA audio cable(pair in blue translucent insulation) and a single ethernet cable that has the distinct look of a basic cat-5 or 5e(the orange one without the more aggressive twist pattern you often see with cat6)?
I realize that stock photos come from a universe all their own; but c’mon, people.
Jesus. Learn to spell at least if you’re going to impersonate a government authority. And how to write coherently.
It appears to be so.
I wonder if there is a penalty for spurious use, false reporting, etc.
Oh, there certainly is, and the DOJ is already aware of it: https://www.ada.gov/covid-19_flyer_alert.html
I expect whoever is printing up these cards and selling them (there’s always money to be made being a garbage person during a crisis, I’ve discovered) is probably in a load of hot water as well…
Their Website is hosted on Wix.
Please consider reporting this website (FTBAgency.com) to Wix’s abuse team here:
https://www.wix.com/about/abuse-form
Besides clearly attempting to present themselves in a confusing fashion (calling themselves an Agency and using an Eagle logo-- seems like they want people to mistake them for or conflate them with an actual government agency), they seem to be in violation of Section 2.3.2 of Wix’s Terms of Use (deceptive and fraudulent, encouraging harmful conduct)
https://www.wix.com/about/terms-of-use
This bit here, saying:
"
2.3 You agree and undertake not to:
…
2. submit, transmit or display any User Content, or use Licensed Content in a context, which may be deemed as defamatory, libelous, obscene, harassing, threatening, incendiary, abusive, racist, offensive, deceptive or fraudulent, encouraging criminal or harmful conduct, or which otherwise violates the rights of Wix or any third party (including any intellectual property rights, privacy rights, contractual or fiduciary rights), or otherwise shows any person, entity or brand in a bad or disparaging light, without their prior explicit approval;"
This is as morally sound as printing your own disabled parking permits, or getting a service vest for your pet dog. People with pulmonary disabilities that cannot tolerate a mask have a legitimate excuse to not wearing a mask. However, these people are just a bunch of selfish assholes who don’t want to be inconvenienced in any way, even if it means wearing a six-inch piece of fabric to save the lives of those around them.
Also, every time you hear the anti-mask protesters say “my body, my choice”, do you think they’re as vocal when it comes to access to abortion services??
Thanks for this! I submitted a complaint.
Looks like this was successful, cause the site is gone.
Seems like an authentic level of governmental incompetence to me…
Be kind, they have a medical condition that limits the amount of oxygen going to their brains.
