That is what is the strangest thing of all now. Fear is considered a social virtue. Nextdoor (the community bulletin board app, usually used for things like asking for a good handyman or giving away kittens) is full of prissy liberals ratting on people who are violating the ever increasing requirements of fear. “I saw 6 people bicycling together....the police should know about this...” It’s insane.

A couple of days ago our beaches opened up again, to the horror of the fear contingent. Some news sources used a photo of hundreds of people on the beach, not “social distancing,” to criticize our governor for allowing the beaches open. Of course, today it emerges that this was a file photo taken sometime before this, and they knew that perfectly well.

The more liberal they are, the more fear they seem to feel and the more they want to impose this on others. Also, they have total contempt for those who Want to get on with life, and now I am seeing sneering comments that “the right wing protesters just want to get back to [name the lower end dining spot of your choice] and Trump rallies. “ The NYT openly called the protesters “right wing” in a headline. So this has taken on a political dimension that is insane and a genuine threat to our liberties.

Yes. It’s insane. We were banned from Costco yesterday due to our group being 3. That’s one above their new 2 per card. The masked assistant manager explained it was for “our protection.”

Yet Costco is still sold out of medical supplies. Why? Nearly everything in their warehouse is MADE IN CHINA/ASIA.

We actually had a good laugh afterward about the virtue signalling attitude of the Costco manager since one of our party has been examining Chicom virus patients daily at work with recycled PPE. We’ll let the can stackers have their glory and get back to business. Ha ha.

Do you have a website or pointer to those sources? I keep a file of Media Bias photos on Pinterest and would like to add that one.
