I read over the CDC proclamation citing chapter and verse of US Code. All 11 pages.
Can’t see where any of the cited laws allows them to fine people for not wearing masks or even enforce mask wearing. They can actually QUARANTINE people they believe may be infected, but not charge them with crimes.

But for masks they'd have to try and piggy-back on some existing law since nobody seems to have gotten around to passing masker laws yet. Again, your prohibition example... most pols probably know better that to open a large can of unenforceable worms. We're getting to the point where they know that most rank-and-file LEOs will simply not enforce outrageous royal proclamations. Cops have enough problems right now without hysterical 911 calls for masks below noses, etc.

Forbes nailed this one:

The order is a reflection of the change in Administration, both the President and his new Director of the CDC.
The new order is here.

I'm still trying to figure out how the Federal government has jurisdiction and the legal authority to regulate behavior in a privately owned mode of transport (eg: taxi, Uber) that does not cross state lines.
You can make the case for airlines (crosses state lines and the entire system is federally regulated), trains (all government subsidized or operated), and municipal buses (same as trains). But if I own a car service in Tinytown, USA, why is the federal government involved?
I see it as just more government creep, slowly acclimatizing the sheep to the notion that the Federal government is responsible for every facet of their lives and can rule them by dictate.

There is nothing to figure out. The government does whatever they want. Is this so hard to understand?
