The governor and mayor are off the charts insane sociopaths—no doubt.
But—as old Adolph learned in his bunker—being a crazed lunatic is easy, getting your commands enforced on the ground is a whole different ball-game.
There are a lot of anecdotes about venues ignoring the rules...
One exception, the local hardware store has a full blown mask Nazi cashier berating the unmasked customers und ODERINK zhey mask up as zhey enter.
Yesterday I drove 7½ miles out of my way past them to the orange big box hardware store. Sadly that supply depot was out of what I needed. I considered driving another 10 miles to the blue hardware store, but my gas tank was really lowe, and I had the faint hope that the mask Nazi wouldn't be at my local store on Sunday.
Wrong. She was.
I gritted my teeth, but didn't hold my tongue, and bought the single item I needed immediately.
Perhaps I got the true value of availability.
But ya know what? I'm putting the finishing touches on a $6,000 project, of which I spent less than maybe $200 there, simply because of this budding Hitlerjugend at the door.
