Now some states are ordering big box stores to stop selling non-essential items in their stores. I guess clothing and electronic stores are complaining that they are shut down whiles these big stores are selling the same items they carry. I sure don't like government telling us what is essential and what is not. What happens if your TV and computer and cellphone die? Are you just SOL and can't get any current info?

our grocery stores are implementing a one shopper only. So the wife and I have to get two carts, she gets her crap and I get mine... Cant bag your own groceries anymore either, have to wait on the little X on the floor until the bagger gets finished. I need to start drinking again. one stop at the liquor store and I'm good.

A local rural supply store chain has tried to implement xx shoppers in the store at any given time. 2 other customers and myself found if you ignore the kid "enforcing" the rules and go about your business they wont stop you. If we dont start pushing back against this insanity, the authoritarians will make it the new normal.

There is a whole lot of truth there.  They are already restricting our movement and our ability to make a living.

Well, as guys on another forum I frequent are used to saying:

You can vote your way into socialism.
You have to shoot your way out.

Governor says fishing and hiking is ok, but golf, going for "Sunday drives" is not...

Now they have canceled the Aviation Roundup in Oct. at our local airport. I was looking forward to the Thunderbirds flying past the house low and a great view of the show looking down at the airport 3 miles to the west.

Here is a new wrinkle, don't know if its true, half true or false.  Customer comes in who owns a good sized landscape business.  Said his neighbor who is a nurse at a good size hospital was furloughed after 31 years on the job.  She said the hospital has 13 or so cases of covid but the rest of the hospital is empty (exaggeration).  She also said the Fed is paying the hospital $30K plus for each covid case that dies.  Well guess what everyone is dying  from, even those who have been on life support for other ailments.

He may have his story a little wrong, but I do know that high COVID numbers mean federal dollars to the various jurisdictions. It's been reported that NYC pretty much counted anyone that died with a respiratory or infectious disease as a  COVID case to get the numbers up -- high numbers mean lots of federal aid money keeps flowing in. The incentives are all wrong, and partisan politics is making it worse -- especially in these democrat controlled large cities.

I've heard similar stories, Phil. Even the MSM news goes on and on about the crazy mass of COVID patients overflowing the hospitals - then a week or two later I hear about hospitals being empty and staff furloughed. Something smells fishy.

My wife is finally starting to see some busy time at work. Since they eased restrictions here a lot of people are coming in to have tests ran that had been put off due to the Wuhan. Hopefully she can go back to a regular schedule again
