We don't see any of this stuff I read about in New York and California and other states down here.
First off, I've never worn a mask. Or social distanced. Or locked down.
For a few months last summer around here there were people who wore masks and still are but many people don't wear them anymore. The signs on a few stores in town say masks are required per county commissioners' orders but nobody has ever enforced that requirement with me. I just go in without a mask and no one has ever said a word. I notice the local Subway sandwich joint has changed their sign to read, "Face coverings are requested." A little softer, more customer friendly approach.
Maybe it is because it is a small town. The big city is 35+ miles away and it may be more demanding but I seldom go there. I visited four businesses up north of here about 25 miles away last week in a medium sized town and few people were wearing masks. I had two flat tires on a trailer and nobody in the tire store or the car dealership that helped me had masks on. The Taco Bell I ate at while waiting had a masks are required sign on the door but nobody said anything about a mask when I walked in, ordered and sat down and ate lunch. And nor did Walmart when I went in there to pick up a few items. Some people were wearing masks but no one stopped me at the door.
Or maybe people feel that since the governor here is not being a hard ass dictator like some places I read about, that people figure they can assess their own risks and go about their lives without feeling like they are in Soviet Russia.
It feels like normal around here again. I pity the poor people in these blue states where the governors and mayors are practicing for their time in the limelight to be punk tyrants when the commies take office.
Don’t pity us if we don’t fight back.
And we are!! That pub owner has gotten arrested twice for keeping his pub open on Staten Island.
Big rallies for him.
Big donations.
Staten Island is by far the most conservative borough and we are SICK of all of it.
But it sounds so beautiful and peaceful where you live.
I HAVE been to brooklyn and seen the blm/antifa “rallies”
Very dangerous things.
I don’t go to brooklyn anymore unless I have to.
Honest, things are quiet on Staten Island and i’m saving a fortune from things being closed.
But that doesn’t make it right!!
I’m ready to dance.
I’ve had it
