Maybe you should move to Texas. If you promise not to vote for mainstream Republicans.
ask aoc...
actually ask any demonrat politician that’s been spotted vacationing in florida maskless...
Try ABEbooks.com. It’s an internet used book Mall with great prices.
Good grief - there are still mask nazis?
We had a mask mandate here in Texas briefly- from July 2020 to March 2021. During that time, there were some obnoxious little underachievers stationed at the front of some stores, barking at people about masks and even following people around.
Fortunately, I had a regular grocery store, a drugstore and even a couple of restaurants and bars that didn’t play that crap and I only went to those places, breathing freely.
Once the mandate ended, the little yappy underachievers disappeared. They probably went back to whatever their regular jobs were, with only the memories of their glorious days as power-tripping mask nazis to sustain them.
I must have missed the part in the story where algore tried to change the rules of that particular establishment.
Otherwise, your post was irrelevant, and just looks like a sad attempt at virtue signaling.
That couldn’t be, could it?
LMAO!!
I’d be tempted to roll my eyes and say “Really? How 2020.” (And then leave.)
If I needed to buy something and I had a choice of businesses that made you wear a mask or didn't, I'd choose the no-mask place every time.
If I didn't have a choice, I'd put my mask on and just bear it for the few minutes I had to be there. For example, I had to wear a mask to go into a USG Ranger station to buy an annual park pass. They don't sell them on line and the ranger station is the only place you can get them. I wore the mask for the 5 minutes it took to get my pass. The young park rangers that served me were very nice. I wouldn't dream of giving them a hard time because it isn't their fault the Federal government is stuck on stupid.
Love it! It helps to be beautiful, but the rifle is a nice, added touch!
I live in St Mary’s County - we don’t have any mask mandates.
People wear them or not - nobody cares one way or the other.
My daughter got a jet black kitten from the humane society nobody wanted. A few days later she tested positive for Covid and spent 10 days getting better. When she found out she called and talked to the guy who’d helped her and said, “I’m sorry to tell you that I tested positive and wanted you to know.”
He told her he’d actively been trying to get it and was happy at the new. He even offered to bring her soup and coffee. He wanted to get it so he wouldn’t have to get the shot and so that he’d have real antibodies.....
Gee, sounds like that’s exactly what algore did.
So what’s your point?
No offense Al, but your approach is all wrong. Next time ask politely for a mask, …….then start coughing uncontrollably, assuring them that this mask will protect them from whatever new unknown contagious viral deadly coughing disease you have.
Agreed. Half-Price Books is a far left outfit. I quit going there.
In 2021 I got kicked out of
Goodwill
Auto Zone
Dairy Queen
Academy Bank
while I was working out of Colorado for refusing to participate in the mask lie. It was medical discrimination and they refused to give me access to my bank account. I don’t live there any more since they elected the sodomite in 2018.
When the female manager at DQ said “I don’t care about the constitution, this is corporate policy,” I said to her, “Did you hear what you just said? You just said you don’t care about the constitution.” This was in front of a bunch of other customers.
Yep... Found that out tonight...
Here in AA county, the communists rule...
Had a similar experience at the local post office a few weeks ago. Usually make a trip there to drop the outgoing mail about once a month to a live person. As I was walking through the front door, I caught a glimpse of a handwritten sign informing all those who enter to wear a mask. Being who I am, I simply ignored it and walked into the lobby and stood in line for about five minutes awaiting my turn at one of two employees on duty.
As I took a step forward to hand off my mail, both employees noticed I was maskless and proclaimed almost simultaneously; Sir, you must wear a mask. Without missing a step, I started handing off the mail to the masked older woman behind the counter. This woman visibly jumped back at least a foot and hesitated for about 15 seconds before finally deciding to step forward and take my mail physically from my hand. I thanked her and promptly left.
As I was leaving, a middle-aged woman who had witnessed this incident commented that for a moment there it appeared they weren’t going to take your mail to which I replied; I guess they didn’t get the memo that masks don’t work.
Sometimes my little horns pop up and I can be such an azz.
My point is that the store has the right to demand he wear a mask. They even offered him one to wear.
The store has the right to refuse service to customers just as the customer has the right to take his business elsewhere.
Isn't this what we argued in the case of the baker who was asked to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple? I'm anti-mandate but I think the business should decide what rules they have in their store.
In California last summer the state removed the indoor mask requirement (temporarily it seems, since it is back on at the moment).
The next morning I needed to go to the post office so I did and entered without a mask. IIRC there were only a couple of other customers at the time, and all others were wearing masks. The USPS employees started to bark at me to wear a mask. I completed my brief business with them without a mask. I stood my ground citing the relaxation of the state requirement. The employees continued to bark at me, citing an ongoing federal requirement on federal property. I asserted that state law trumped federal law. In this I was apparently incorrect, but I was annoyed, and no one had the advantage of having a lawyer present although as I left I noticed that a mask wearing requirement sign was (still) posted outside the door. Over the next couple of days the clarification in the MSM news was made that people still had to wear masks on federal property in California even though state law had been relaxed. It was weird being required to put on masks in instances where the law differed depending on who or what owned which property. I was convinced that the bug did not care who or what owned which property. Whoever made up the laws at that time apparently did not care that the bug did not care. Apparently all of the USPS karen employees at my post office did not care either.
Generally, this proved to me that US citizens will follow orders from the government, even if the orders do not make any sense. That is somewhat scary to me.
After this incident I resumed wearing a mask while at the post office and not wearing any mask elsewhere, until a new California indoor mask mandate was resumed (iirc a few short months later). One thing I concluded was that the powers that be can’t have people figuring out that conflicting mask wearing rules make no sense.
This was in suburban SF Bay.
Later I took a short vacation south. As I got towards Morgan Hill and Gilroy (note: still within a mask-fascist SF Bay county) I began to notice that people were paying less attention to mask mandates. San Luis Obispo seemed to be (almost) free of mask mandates, as did Dana Point. SF Bay is home to many Hillary supporting Karens, and the local queen of the Karens is London Breed, who was the first local official in the USA to institute a lockdown (look it up).
In SF Bay, there is a herd instinct and a just-following-orders instinct. Classic little-l libertarianism of the beatnik and summer of love eras has evolved to moral relativism, which (I guess) has led to tolerance for policies whereby shoplifting and smash and grabs no longer being sufficient grounds for an arrest. The boundaries of herd instinct and nonsensical laws are being tested, with SF Bay karens being the guinea pigs. Apparently people are somewhat spoiled by what remains of the postwar “good life,” and nothing short of a good old-fashioned land war will wake them up.
I’ve found car manuals on eBay.
Where was this store?
