Is Covid over?

Quote: Gandler

Honestly I loved that, and nothing to do with COVID, busy stores are just so much more efficient when all aisles are flowing the in the same direction without the worry of somebody abruptly turning the corner or blocking a side with a cart. Its one of those good things from COVID that should have been in place years ago due to general uniformity and efficiency. Sadly, many of the store that implemented this have stopped and removed all signage and floor markings.

They put them in museums all over the country and I love them
Most are still there
You don't miss anything

She's written a book where she says half of what they told us was BS but they did it for our own good. Especially lying about vaccinations and how good they were when it turns out they weren't good at all.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess EB is not providing an accurate description here.

PS- EB is vaccinated.

Not good

You would have loved living in East Germany I think. You seem to love being told what to do.

Me I have no desire to walk down a different aisle to get to the one I want.

I do remember when it was a thing Karen yelled at me for my nose outside my mask as she was going against the flow.

IDK if you recall me talking about my friend that escaped E. Germany on his third attempt? I was talking with him yesterday, he said he is 87, and he still works everyday. He was telling me that after the wall went up, the only work he could get was cleaning and taking care of a barn. He said he was paid 28 dollars per month, and a bicycle was 350 dollars. He would have had to work 13 months, just to buy a bicycle. Then it was either there or Canada when he first escaped, he remembers having to walk all night so his feet wouldn't freeze. He thinks that is part of the reason he is like he is. He has two guys working for him, low pay but really generous considering he lets them have a house each for 350 a month in Phoenix.

But it was an orderly place with lots of rules like he seems to like. East Germany was everything the liberals in the USA say they want.

I love things being orderly and uniform.

And you would prefer Afghanistan. Weak central government, strong conservative religious morals, lots of guns, and women you could boss around.
