The American people are smart(Liberals are not smart, nor American), they understand what is going on, and they are doing a good job handling what has been asked of them. But they also need to be trusted, we don’t need a state-driven crackdown on people living their lives and we certainly don’t need citizens looking over their shoulders waiting to be sold down the river by fretful neighbors.

And they will rat anyone out just to get a selfish sense of pride and power.

And now the authorities know who he is, where he lives and can arrest the neighbor.

Born and raised in Brooklyn my mom always told us “live and let live.”

She wore a mask and gloves, and I wore a mask. Anyone who objects is welcome to go pound sand.

Well, thanks a lot friend, you just brought up another problem for me. I always get a beard trim. Hard to do with a mask on.

Back when I had rental properties I made a mistake and rented to a low level drug dealer, the whole neighborhood is telling about, so I talk to the cities police about it then get a call from a prosecutor telling me that if I talk to anyone about it or try to evict that I’ll be prosecuted that that would open me up to personal liabilities.

Would you post your neighbor’s contact info... asking for a friend.

I cut my own hair yesterday. 🙄 I call it "Self-inflicted Chic." Looked like it did when I was three and my mom cut it.

“Something that is impossible for a lefty to do.”

It ain’t just lefties. It seems this event is cutting across all demographics.

As I said before, when the SHTF wait until the dust settles to see who is actually on your side of America.

Agreed—my wife is accusing me of looking like Martin Van Buren... ;-)

Even though I am a bona-fide “fearper” I would gladly get a black-market haircut from someone in town and would never even consider ratting out someone for providing that public service.

The real world is not black and white, it is many shades of gray.

A lot of the ranting around here seems to ignore that simple fact of life.

Another huge advantage of the black market is the fascist govt. is not getting a single red penny of tax revenue from any of it...nada....serves em right. They can go pound sand.

The hair dresser of my 82 year old mother, came to her house to give her a cut. Payment? 10 masks I made because she will be required to use them when they open back up.

Win-win and mom no longer has a fro.

Victor Davis Hanson said on an Uncommon Knowledge podcast a few days ago that a Mexican barber is cutting hair out of his home in Selma, CA and doing 30 haircuts a day.

My wife went to a new hairdresser in Idaho. Lady has a small licensed salon in the back of her house. She put paper up in her windows so the health authorities or police would think she’s closed, but she’s still working. She also cut my son’s hair when she was finished with my wife.

So far everybody has survived. An nobody has ratted anybody out.

Well, they DO know how you should run your life better than you do.

You’re might careless with your money. You could probably retire ten years earlier if you’d watch your dimes more closely.

If you are in the Coeur d’Alene, ID area, I can point you in the right direction. My finder’s fee is quite reasonable.

"And now the authorities know who he is, where he lives and can arrest the neighbor."

Exactly. The author DID rat out his neighbor, maybe unintentionally; we know the author's name and where he lives. Take it from there.

Did anyone else read this with a Brooklyn accent? It’s much more interesting if you do, and makes me feel like I’m talking to someone far away.

What do we do about this guy? He should probably be busted on general principles.
