We went yesterday...but won’t return until they stop that ridiculousness about useless masks. Only about 10% of shoppers had masks. They looked frightened.
Here’s a story I just did on our local sales tax collections. Big cuts in govt employees coming soon.

I saw the shutting down of businesses and laying people off as devastating to the economy from the get go, not just during this lockdown period but for years to come.
Any astute person could see the damage this was going to do to our country and to Trump's reelection in November.
Thank God the democRATS have a three time loser as the nominee (at least for now), not a deep bench to play with to replace him with and enough time for the voters to see how their lives and livelihoods will be altered by these draconian lockdowns, mainly by the liberals politicians.
Otherwise, Trump could be in trouble. But leave it to the democRATS to stumble badly themselves and reveal their weaknesses in dealing with this virus as a political football and not a medical issue.
Socialism, communism, authoritarianism, tyranny, it doesn't matter what you call it, is on full display and the liberals are hard at it, practicing their dictatorship skills while they can.
But I've been saying all along, this virus is going to still be around after this lockdown. It is not going away because you stay in your homes. Many people will die from it, but a whole lot more will recover from it. Others will get it and hardly notice it. We will become immune to it and go on to the next virus that comes along and life will move on. That's the way it has always been and always will be.
We've shot ourselves in the foot to try and treat a hangnail on our small toe. Our response has done more long-term damage to the country than the actual bug itself. Why didn't people see this early on?
Where DID she get that sign?
Coming soon to a town near you as the weather warms across America and the virus continues to wane ...
"The actions you take to suppress this miserable rabble will be declared lawful by a decree of the Fuhrer, er, Governor, once this is over."
Where DID she get that sign?
I don’t know. California is loaded with talented young techies.
Many of which are out of college due to their colleges being shut down.
So maybe one of her fellow protesters did it.
It is a great sign.
We went out today to go hiking at a park and I haven’t seen so much traffic in a while. People are done with this. I saw an article yesterday that said Apple and Googles location analytics from their phone devices are showing more people out and about as well.
You cant keep an entire population on house arrest forever...
“Hello, Sir, I’d like to report a family of people not living in fear.”
(If they’re wrong about this bug being a nothing burger, then Darwin’s gonna Darwin, I guess.)
God bless her!
I hope she prospers!
AND, I hope the Bluebird of Happiness craps on Loathsome/Lonesome Newsome’s birthday cake!
MASSIVE civil disobedience is called for!
One can only hope and pray!
AND, patronize your local small businesses!
Taxman Bravo Zulu!
Well said, well played.
We MUST re-elect Donald J. Trump on November 3, 2020!
AND, we MUST tell everyone we know that a vote for ANY Democrat is a vote AGAINST America!
Democrats are playing a losing hand, and I am beyond convinced that they will not keep the House in 2020!
NOR will they win the Senate or the White House!
We MUST get the message out: A VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRAT IS A VOTE AGAINST AMERICA!
Well, there is that restaurant owner in Maine who opened up FRiday.
State Nazis shut him down, but there will be others!
The optics of these Nazi tactics will not help Democrats get elected in November, and that is the best thing that could happen.
I am hoping that the Maine restaurant owner, Rick Savage, can find a FRiendly judge who will rule the Governor overstepped her bounds and allow him to re-open!
Fair point.
There will be more Civil Disobedience, and said disobedience will not auger well for LIEberal Democrat Governors!
Or LIEberal Republican Governors, either, should they violate their Oaths of Office!
