Masks are strongly encouraged. Kroger also encourages homosexual marriages. Funny how non-Catholic Christians continue to dig their holes deeper and deeper.

I’ve heard almost Walmart sells comes from China?
I also heard how their US Flag were made in China ..until people complained.

Sorry wrong. The EU just announced a nearly $900 million dollar privacy violation fine against Amazon

You clearly miss my point. I'm saying *Amazon* needs us all in lockdown to bring their revenues back up, Wall Street's explanation of the putative cause of the plunge notwithstanding.

THEY THEMSELVES SAY they were hurt by people getting back out there and engaging in commerce:

"Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said during a conference call with analysts that Amazon's e-commerce growth is slowing as the economy reopens. "I think the impact of people getting vaccinated and getting out in the world, not only shopping offline, but also living life and getting out, it takes away from shopping time," Olsavsky said."

Hence, lockdowns are coming back. The hidden hand behind it all: our new overlords.

I just returned from Walmart. A young male employee was handing out masks. I politely took it than tossed it.

I refuse to take part in this charade. In addition, it is simply too hot and humid to wear a muzzle. The boys in the parking lot collecting shopping carts had wet towels on their heads to get cool. They were wearing the smothering muzzles.

Hahaha hahaha hahaha! ROFL! Wal-Mart separates management of any kind, from frontline workers in an overt way. I seriously doubt that they will be “inspired” by management.

Maybe so, but their stock drop was due to the fine. And no its not going to happen.
First issue is CDC’s reason for the mask reversal was on a flawed India peer review, and people are getting wise to the flip flops.
Second is Biden allowing mass illegal immigration with no COVID testing. Third is over 80% of vaccinated people are contracting COVID and have to wear masks, so zero incentive to get vaccinated right there since masks don’t work.
Fourth, Too many red states not playing a long anymore.
Fifth, the world is in an uprising against this.
Sixth, Bidens poll numbers are tanking overall. No one buys what he is selling, and eventually he wont be able to convince the public the sky is blue on a cloudless day.

“I really hated those stupid floor vinyl One Way signs at Kroger.”

Most people who saw them made a point to walk the wrong way down the aisle. I know we did.

I was in W-M today and did notice the emploees were masked and so were many customers.

I didn’t as usual.

And I will continue to give my business to those who do not require masks.

I always liked to go in the opposite direction.

We don’t use Amazon any more. Quite Amazon prime as it was just a rip off. We didn’t order enough stuff to justify it and the bennies were not anything we used.

So will Wal-Mart deny entrance to people who don’t wish to wear a mask? If so, I’d better hurry and buy what I need. Had planned to wait until my regular every-other-week excursion, but it looks like time is of the essence.

I think time is of the essence anyways.

People need to be seriously considering their prep supplies if they haven't already.

I see a lot of warning signs that things are going to get nasty and repressive again.

I think you’re right. How does the old saying go? “Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it”.

A sign at our Walmart read

We RECOMMEND that masks be worn if not vaccinated.

I think ten people had masks on.

point to one state in the US in which fatalities due to COVID are increasing?

I checked with a source at the CDC and asked if it was true "the fatalities were increasing in Uranus?"

;-)

Thank you but it’s just the way I am.

Try to force me to do something, and I’ll do the opposite, just because.

In retrospect, it kept me out of trouble as a teen.

I wasn’t a crowd follower. Since they had no use for me, I didn’t care if they liked me or not because I knew they already didn’t, so the peer pressure was not an issue.

Then I’d do stuff just to be different.

So when someone tells me, *Everyone is doing it*, my first reaction is *Not everyone*.

No, I’m a free and independent person who can think for herself and not succumb to peer pressure.

I’m not weak willed like the rest of the sheeple who comply to totalitarian tactics. Like you, I guess.
