Sorry, most people have to go out to get food, and some people MUST go to work. We can't all stay home for 4 months straight, just so you can go get drunk at a bar with a crappy cover band.

And if you're so fragile that wearing a mask in the grocery store for 45 minutes causes you to crash your car (after you take off your mask, because who wears a mask in the car?), then maybe you should give up your license.

You never have to leave your house. You can order food and anything else online, even prescription drugs.

Blue collar working people are just dirt under your feet to you, aren't they? You so much don't give a damn about working people with families they are invisible to you. That's what your comment about only going to a grocery store and going to a bar to listen to crappy music - while I'm posting about 43,000,000 American working families that have lost their income. I'm am thinking of other people and you are thinking only about yourself, while expressing contempt for ordinary working people.

I've often noted most on this forum are elderly and on fixed income, so lost and gave up nothing financially for covid-19 rules. In fact, they made money off it from stimulus money though the suffered no financial lose.

Since it is nothing to them, they demand totalitarian orders that tens of millions of people are thrown into immediate poverty. People who spent their lives building a business are summarily ordered into ruin. That millions of families are made homeless, lose their vehicles, furniture, everything. That they should starve to death. Have no money for prescription drugs. Give up everything - all so they can go outside feeling safe.

They wrap this in the totally self-serving and false slogan "Money is less important than life" since they lose no money. They actually are saying "My life is everything and every else's life is nothing."

This poll explores that total sociopathic ego mania.

I work at an essential job and so does the rest of my family.So we lost nothing.All the stores I like to frequent(lowes, home depot, harbor freight, walmart, thrift store) are considered essential.About the only thing that has changed for me is that buffet restaurants I like to go to are closed.

I also miss one of the buffets.
 
Oh, I don't know. One of my friends died from it. I can't go to work (adminidly a part time job) I can't go racing or even attend a race. I can't eat indoors at a restaurant. I have to get nervous every time I go to the grocery store and find some idiot not wearing a mask. My wife can't go to work. She can't attend any parties with the girls. The price of groceries are skyrocketing, not from a closed economy but because farm and meat plant workers are getting sick.

Geez, you'd think that at 74 I needed to be wrapped in a cocoon and give up on life because some young buck thinks we're all ready to die off on a moments notice and inconvenience him.

There are some warped and twisted minds in this forum.

Why don't you buy a bio-mask/face shield and they you wouldn't have to worry about anyone? The homemade and dust masks people wear do not contain the virus, they spread it.

You don't have to go to a grocery store. They could just put it in your trunk and you can even order groceries for home delivery. You aren't really afraid.

Thirty nine votes and nobody lost anything. Yup such draconian losses one can't even imagine the damage done.

All you guys are doing is showing your lunacy with your posts.

Yeah, I bet you really, really care so much about blue collar workers, like all the people working in grocery stores who you want to put at greater risk of getting a potentially fatal disease because you can't be bothered to wear a mask for 30 minutes. Or all the people working in food processing plants who would be at much greater risk because their coworkers couldn't take a break from going to bars or movie theaters for a few months.

We have social programs in place to help other blue collar workers who are put out of work temporarily. But I bet you're opposed to those as well.
 
Stimulus checks should only go to those people in need. I live on a fixed income and didn't need a stimulus check. Nothing has changed for me financially.

You take a break for a few months of wandering around grocery stores just because you want to not caring about infecting other people.

Here, it is not a matter of taking a break from going to the movie theater for a few months. It is a matter of never going to the movie theater again. The movie theater here and the one in the closest city both announced they have permanently closed having been financially ruined. But, then, the only mall is permanently closing for the same reason. But none of that matters. What matters to you is wandering around a grocery store demanding everyone be put at risk by you - as you demand they all be at risk for you. After all, the universe revolves around you. You demand others give up everything they have -just so you are not inconvenienced by not being able to do your walking in grocery stores. OMG that you instead go walk on a sidewalk!

In fact, wandering around grocery stores - when you could order online - is so important to you because of how important to you - that millions of families should be financially ruined as should tens of thousands of businesses - all for you, for power for the Democratic Party and for the profit of the richest people on earth. Don't hold your breathe waiting for your cut of the extra profits of the WalMart heirs and Jeff Bezos. They care as much about you as you care about everyone but yourself.

Stay home. Order online. YOU bear the burdened of what YOU want and need. Mess up your own life. Inconvenience yourself for your wants and needs.

Many, if not most, elderly are like little children. They think the universe revolves around them and that everyone has to take care of them and give them whatever they want.

The money was for the WalMart heirs, Jeff Bezos, and the other richest people on earth, so people banned from shopping at their competitors had plenty of money to give them. The super rich don't have enough tens of billions so we all need to give them thousands of dollars we pay for thru the interest and inflation of the national debt increase.

Why don't you buy one of these? Gas Mask C420 PAPR Respirator System from Approved Gas Masks

Then you can wander around a grocery store all you want to with no risk of being infected. Of course, you won't do that because your rule is you sacrifice NOTHING yourself - but demand tens of millions of people face massive financial loses FOR YOU. Why would spend a penny? Better others lose all they have for you instead. That is exactly your philosophy - or let me know when you've ordered a true biohazard protection.

Way to talk yourselves in circles. You want everyone going to movie theaters like nothing is wrong, but seem to have little to no concern about people who NEED to go to grocery stores (not everyone can afford delivery fees or even has that service available to them), or the people who work there. Keep in mind that the same selfish ahole who just went to see Fast & Furious 12 for the 7th time is probably going strait to Safeway on the way home and infecting your grandmother who is bagging groceries for a living because she doesn't get enough Social Security.

And you seem to be operating under the massive delusion that those movie theaters and malls would have gotten enough business to keep them afloat, especially once a quarter of the population is clinging to life in makeshift ICUs, probably hastily set up in the parking lots of those very same businesses.

We bailed out banks for something they did to themselves. I see no reason that we can't bail out movie theaters and crappy malls due to something they had no control over.

Totally bizarre :werd:aliens3:...Is the above a joke or just sarcasm because I see nothing you wrote that has anything to do with my not wanting another stimulus payment. The fact is I donated my stimulus check to a fund that supports families that need to pay their utilities.

My message was about the purpose and use of the stimulus money.
 
I won't write it all out again. Any American except children who get sick or dies of covid-19 deserves no one's sympathy because you did it to yourselves for reasons of pure greed and cruel amorality in your total love of foreign non-white foreign child labor sweatshop products.

Against our wishes, we worked our asses off 7 days a week, day and night, because our company has what is considered covid-19 critically essential products: sterilizers, sanitizers, and such. For one - the most advanced nano-tech non-toxic sterilizer that will slaughter any and all virus and nearly all other pathogens - even the hospital super bugs - we had the only remaining supply in the USA and with relatively enormous quantities. Usage ranges from laboratories and hospitals to food processing, container and contents sterilizing and the entire food chain.

But we also increasingly had ethical problems with doing so for many reasons. Why are we giving away time of our lives for this?

The goal of the covid-19 rules are in fact to profit the richest people on earth, to destroy the merchant (middle class), to convert the USA to a totalitarian fascist society, and to infect as many people with covid-19 as possible.

For this, we have increasingly added to the list of states we will not ship or sell to such as New York, New Jersey, California, Michigan, Oregon and Washington State. This weekend we will review the remaining states to see which others are most totalitarian to cut them off too. We are considering dumping all inventory and demolishing the two production/refining systems - propriety and unique - years of trial and error development.

For those who can even still find a phone number we will answer, we get screaming phone calls and raging emails every day. We just hang up on them. What do they need anything we have? Just wrap an old piece of T-shirt around their mouth and they'll live forever.

The goal of the covid-19 rules include killing as many people as possible. Who are we to oppose that? There is nothing we can do to stop the destruction of the United States anyway. We could have made still another fortune once it became clear we can charge anything we want to. But the sales are not needed profits, just consume the finite time we have for our lifetime.

Go ahead people, kill yourselves, destroy yourselves because the super rich propaganda outlets order you to. While it is terrible for us how the United States is being reduced to a 3rd world economy of a totalitarian fascism society, but we an afford to relocate. You all will get the joy of living in the next fully controlled fascist nation soon enough. But as long as you have a piece of cloth to tie covering your mouth your life will be perfect - or so you have accepted as sheep of their flock.

You are supposed to die of covid-19. It's your loyalty duty to the richest people on earth to do so. You are not essential to them, but your death will assist them.

I'm doing just fine. You're the one living in constant terror and hate, starting each day by turning on TV to learn what you are to think, do, not do, say, not say and your emotional outbursts and disturbances you are to submit to today.

You could help them out more if not just reducing your oxygen intake while increasing your co2 intake, viruses and bacteria intake, but also if you added a little carbon monoxide to what you are breathing. Not enough to immediately kill you. Just to future weaken your immune system and make your oxygen starved brain even less functioning. Plus put a drip line of water to your throat or nose to increase how much water you are inhaling, not just your own hot wet co2 you are exhaling and re-breathing.

Your self inflicted slow ordered death would help defeat President Trump by being counted as a covid-19 death. DO MORE FOR THE CAUSE.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I wear a surgical mask when I go to a public place with other people around, which is maybe once every week or two. That's what we're talking about here.

...and that's fine with me. I'm very lucky to have the life that I lead. Most of it I owe to my dear wife. She has a Master's in nutrition which keeps me from eating stuff that I really shouldn't eat. Having said that, we do "pig-out" once in a while but then it's back to me eating cardboard...No..not really.. :) :)

You posted you are old so apparently you forgot your own message.

You posted you are terrified in grocery stores because someone might not be wearing a mask. The link provided is for a mask/shield combination that would protect you against ALL virus and ALL bacteria. I even linked to a positive pressure unit - which then are 100% protective and cause no breathing difficulty.

But you won't buy one or wear one because you don't even believe your own words. If you did, you would buy and wear one. Non-positive units can be bought for under $300 since you already decided you only need about 2/3rds as much oxygen when you breath.
