On Friday, my blue state Democrat governor mandated masks for all indoor businesses and government buildings. He said law enforcement wouldn't be involved against customers, but the health department would penalize businesses that didn't comply and didn't force customers to comply.

I live in a conservative area of the state. Out of 250,000 in our metro area, we have 339 (alleged) COVID-19 cases and 23 deaths, (more than half from a single nursing home), relatively few on both counts. I was interested in seeing how businesses and patrons would handle the edict, particularly the big boxes. Note, as announced Thursday, I refused to wear a mask at any time and was prepared to be confronted when I entered a store, especially a national chain. Here are the results:

1. Convenience stores: I went in about five of them. Perhaps 1 in 10 customers were wearing masks, and in only one of the stores were the clerks wearing one.
2. Tobacco shops: I went into two of them. Not a soul had a mask on. Not a customer, not an employee
3. Kroger: The employees were wearing them, about half the customers were. Nobody was being forced to.
4. Lowe's: I went in there about an hour before closing. About a third of the customers were wearing. About half the employees were.
5. Walmart: They had a sign posted that the law requires masks. All the employees were wearing, Again, about half the customers were. I asked an employee if the store was forcing people to wear masked. The guy said "They want employees to, but they aren't saying anything to customers".

So there you have it. People in my city DON'T have the virus, and for the most part they are SNUBBING our Communist governor's edict, as are businesses. I don't know if jackbooted thug state health dept officials will descend on the businesses or not. But nothing is happening as yet. I needn't have braced for confrontation. Nobody cared if I wore a mask or not.

I've contended numerous times this virus hype is a total fraud, a political charade by the left. My hunch is being confirmed by the total media switch to the fake Soros-financed riots. These paid-for highly orchestrated phony protests have swept virus news off the front pages. Had the virus threat been real, it would have been all hands on deck. The media would have joined with the president in getting us through this. But it was a political stunt from the start. It's starting to fail, and now it's onto the next "huge story that's finally going to bring down Trump". Both stories are as fake as three-dollar bills with Hillary's picture on them.

"Soros-financed riots". And of course you have evidence for your assertion as you always do, correct? Please provide it so the forum can see for itself. Thanks.:roll: Your daily lies are nothing if not amusing; next you'll be telling us that your catholic Pope never colluded with or made a deal with Hitler and the Nazis...

That Soros funds Antifa and BLM has been linked so many times, it's common knowledge. However, I notice google with it's new algorithms, is stifling a lot of information that are harmful to Democrats. Anyone else notice that?

"Linked" by who? If it's "common knowledge" you'll have no trouble showing us the proof then, right?

I'm awaiting the evidence which you seem reluctant to provide, as usual. Provide it and then I can judge for myself. Otherwise I'll assume that you pulled your predictable nonsense out of your arse. Fair enough?

Untruth 1: We do not have the virus in the city

You had several deaths and a few hundred sick, so to say you have NO virus carriers is something you do not know, it is something you are making up.

Untruth 2: your communist governor

it is virtually impossible to be a governor of a US state and be a communist. So that is just your illogical and extremely biased conservative views spewing nonsense.

Untruth 3

Covid 19 is not a "virus hype" nor is it a "total fraud" etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Untruth 4

the riots are not fake, pretty sure they are actually accurate or that Orange Blimp would not have been foaming at the mouth about them

Untruth 5

Soros financed :lamo well that just decides it, your entire bogus post has just one destination

well then you should have no problem proving it, by using an unbiased source, because it is not common knowledge in the minds of rational human beings.

Your nonsensical conspiracy wackadoodle stuff is showing it's ugly head again.

well you should then have no problem showing us proof positive that the riots have been financed and that those finances have come from Soros personally.

If you can't well you know what will happen, your whole thread goes right down the crapper to the

So, yet another Mashmont thread replete with the predictable litany of lies, gets flushed down the crapper to join the rest of the turds.

There is absolutely nothing in your article than speculation by the author without a single supporting fact. He points to Barr but Barr never mentioned Soros.

You see why I don't chase my tail fetching links for leftwingers? You always gripe about something. Usually the source. Then when it's a leftwing source you move the goalposts. It's always the same story. That's why I send lazy leftwingers to go look if they are curious. Although google has made it difficult to find information that incriminates the left. That's been since 2016. Sadly, they've gone leftwing too.

The person who can develop a search engine that will be unbiased like Google USED to be, will supplant Google and make a mint.

I think this is a great summary on how focusing on the micro aspect of an issue clouds the macro view. For starters, do you know people aren't sick because they've been tested, or because they're not displaying symptoms? If it's the latter, then you have no idea of who is asymptomatic or who has had it but only had minor symptoms.

As for the riots, do you have some kind of evidence that Soros is funding them? Do you think it's surprising that the media switched to stories of civil unrest in most of the country's major cities? I don't see how protests and civil unrest on a scale we haven't seen in a long time doesn't make the headlines.

1. We are a highly advanced medical community. People just don't have the disease and they're not worried about it. One reason, perhaps the chief one, is this is a highly Christian area. Lots of people attending church, and it has a very vibrant and active Catholic population. God has smiled on our area, for sure. If you think Mashmont is an anomaly, being Christian, I can assure you there are many like me in my city. This sets us apart from leftist areas. The Huntsville AL areas is very similar to us.

2. I have already proven Soros supports Antifa. Antifa caused these violent riots. Ergo, Soros sponsored these violent riots. He is a Marxist. He hates capitalims. He wants our system overthrown so his family can steal our money like all Communist insiders do, just like was done in Venezuela where Maduro has stolen billions with a b.

Anyone who can't keep six feet away from others and isn't wearing a mask is an idiot, a fool. The only thing that is going to accomplish is PROLONGING the pandemic for everyone.

Wearing a mask is NOT a political statement, is a public health statement. What your diatribe suggests to me is that the idiots who live near you need to be fined and/or arrested if they repeatedly fail to follow the governor's directions.

Actually, if more people get it nwo, the virus is not prolonged, it's shortened.

I already said law enforcement won't get involved. It's up to businesses to enforce the Communist governor's edict, and they refuse to do it. lol.

So just anecdotal information then? Got it. Being of any particular faith has no bearing in how diseases spread and infect people. This has been an equal opportunity, non demoninational disease.

A while back Mashmont claimed that the Nobel Prize committee were all Marxists. I asked for proof of that, none was forthcoming. That is why Mashmont always loses debates. He doesn't do proof.
