The Morning Report - 1/12/22

Good morning, kids. Wednesday and I guess you can file this one in the "if it walks like a duck" file. Let's start off with this little item that should cause you no concern whatsoever:

A federal agency debuted a new system on Tuesday designed to record and store the information of federal employees who requested religious exemptions from the Biden administration's federal jab mandate.
According to a report by the Daily Signal, the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia, an independent federal agency designed to aid Washington D.C. courts, created the "Employee Religious Exception Request Information System" to track unvaccinated employees who ask for religious exemptions from President Joe Biden's federal [Chinese] COVID-19 shot mandate.
The Federal Register describes the new system as the best way to keep track of "personal religious information" that is collected "in the context of a public health emergency or similar health and safety incident, such as a pandemic, epidemic, natural disaster or national or regional emergency and/or any other lawful collection of employee information or data that is necessary to ensure a safe and healthy environment for individuals." Those with concerns about the system only have until Feb. 10 to offer any public comments.
The agency claims that the database will legally allow for the "collection, storing, dissemination, and disposal of employee religious exemption request information" for an indefinite period of time.

No, not creepy at all! Is it just me or did you too read that as "Pre-CRIME Services Agency?"

Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen announced the creation of the new unit in his opening remarks during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday.
"I decided to establish a domestic terrorism unit to augment our existing approach," Olsen said. "This group of dedicated attorneys will focus on the domestic terrorism threat, helping to ensure that these cases are handled properly and effectively coordinated across the Department of Justice and across the country. . ."
. . . Olsen's remarks come as authorities consider strategies to combat domestic terrorism a year after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which many lawmakers and national security officials have called domestic terrorism. The DOJ official cited the incident as an example of challenges facing the department . . .
. . . "We've seen a growing threat from those who are motivated by racial animus as well as those who ascribe to extremist anti-government and anti-authority ideologies," he said.

Funny how America, in the eyes of the Left, was, is and always will be a fundamentally racist society. So much so that 99.99% of all "hate crimes" reported over the past umpteen years have in short order proven to be hoaxes. Fake, but accurate. Same with the FBI. America is a fundamentally dangerous place where terrorists and insurrectionists are such an existential threat that they have to create entrapment stings and execute plots where any real violence and destruction is caused by the agents themselves, while hapless and helpless individuals in the wrong place at the wrong time are stuffed and mounted on the trophy wall at the Hoover Building, and in D-Block at Leavenworth.

That said, just who and what does the FBI consider a "domestic terrorist" threat?

As we all know or should all know by now, the purpose of these things is not merely to justify the existence of the FBI nor to create narratives to engender support and loyalty by the "oppressed masses" of minority "victims" and liberal white dupes for the Democrat Party. Both of those serve the wider goal of destroying all opposition to the "fundamental transformation" already in progress. Ergo, the Junta's definition of terrorism is anyone or anything that falls into that category.

Parents who organize and speak out at school board meetings against the mind- and physical rape of their children via Jive Kampf CRT and priapic transexual perverts in girls bathrooms? DOMESTIC TERRORIST.

Citizens who showed up to the Capitol on 1/6/21 to protest the stolen election and foolishly trespassed into Congress and took selfies at Pelosi's desk? DOMESTIC TERRORIST.

Politicians and everyone who attended the Trump rally a half a mile away from the Capitol dome and before any of the violence and mayhem that occurred there (all caused by the FBI/DOJ) took place? DOMESTIC TERRORIST.

You see, if you're a domestic terrorist, how can you be allowed to run for office? How can you be allowed to have a government contract or run any business for that matter? How can you be allowed to have custody of your children? And so on, and so on, and scoobie doobie doobie in virtually every aspect of politics and society. The cabal of individuals and groups that rigged an election and installed a shambling, decrepit, demented criminal pervert in the Oval Office have succeeded in laying waste to our economy and our society in just under a year, and in doing so alarmed and pissed off those of us not completely mind-numbed by the Communism.

As useless in a sense that electoral politics may be in the long run, in the short term, the Dems are facing a wipeout of staggering proportions at the polls. At least the ones not affected by Dao-Min Yen. Psaki-Psircling back to my opening contention about the nature of this post, I give you the estimable Lloyd Billingsley:

In National Socialist Germany, Jews were the primary disfavored class. In the United States and allied nations today, the unvaccinated, or anyone critical of government health policies, find themselves increasingly vilified, disfavored, and even threatened.
"This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated," Joe Biden said in September. The unvaccinated "can cause a lot of damage -- and they are," and Biden has a plan "to combat those blocking public health." As the Delaware Democrat warned, "we've been patient but our patience is wearing thin," so "get vaccinated."
If that does not convey disfavored status it's hard to imagine what might. Maybe a yellow star would do the trick, but to adapt what Marlon Brando said in "On the Waterfront" there's "a lot more" to this Nazi comparison business than people might think.
The primary author of Biden's 3,548-word message was doubtless chief White House medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci. Biden has joked that Fauci is the real president, but that might understate the matter.
Fauci, a government bureaucrat since 1968 and head of the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984, has never faced a vote of the people. The president must deal with Congress, which controls spending. With his budget of more than $6 billion, Fauci controls a great deal of medical research spending, even as he lays down public health policy. On top of all that, Fauci can boast the ultimate strategic ally.
His wife, Christine Grady, heads up bioethics at the National Institutes of Health, including NIH's work with "human subjects." It is as though Nancy Reagan served as a special counsel for President Ronald Reagan, and greenlighted the Iran-Contra scandal. . .
. . ."Nazi Germany brought the difficult issues in research with human subjects to the attention of the public and medical/scientific communities," Grady writes. "In the name of 'experimentation,' human torture and atrocities were performed on thousands of Jews and justified as medical research."
Josef Mengele, the most notorious Nazi doctor, goes unmentioned, but "Dr. Klaus Karl Schilling infected more than 1,000 prisoners at Dachau with malaria without their consent." The experiments exposed at the Nuremberg trials "forced an examination of human research," and "the medical profession was aware that serious breaches of ethics had occurred in the past." The author moves on to Thalidomide, released in the 1950s as a remedy for morning sickness in pregnant women.
Thalidomide was "thought to be exceptionally safe," Grady writes, but left "thousands of children with severe and unusual deformities" such as hands attached to shoulders, feet attached to hips and so forth. "The harm done was the result of inadequate research," according to Grady, who needed to conduct more adequate research on this subject.
Thalidomide was the product of Chemie Grunenthal and the subject of a court case in 1970. A name on the original patent was Dr. Heinrich Muckter, the company's head of research and a Nazi war criminal who conducted medical experiments in prison camps. In the 1970s, Grunenthal appointed as the chairman of their board Otto Ambros, the inventor of sarin nerve gas who was jailed for mass murder at Auschwitz.

Billingsley's essay is a rebuttal to Dan Gelernter's bristling at those comparing Fauci and his handling of Chinese COVID as akin to what the Nazis did. And it's a helluva rebuttal as this excerpt shows. But it goes wider and deeper than that as I have tried to lay out. While I was about to say there are no concentration camps here in the former USA - yet - we have people held as political prisoners for a staged false flag "insurrection" one year ago. We have the move to criminalize political dissent of any variety as domestic terrorism. We have naked, shameless attempts to make election rigging of the kind that overturned the actual results of 2020 legal and permanent. We have blacklisting within the private sector as legal, acceptable and almost a requirement for businesses insofar as preventing anyone from being employed who does not openly and full-throated embrace whatever insane, radical diversity agenda a company might have.

As a child of a survivor of real, actual Nazis, I am particularly sensitive to the use of that word. Take it from me; everything we are experiencing right now is, with slight variations here and there, a very close mirror to what happened in Germany before Schickelgruber took power as well as in almost any other totalitarian regime that gradually, and subversively, came into being.

This is a wake-up call for anyone with eyes to see and a mind to reason. Think it can't happen here? It's happening as we speak. Tick tock. . .

Anyone opposed to the Complex's goals in any dimension. Whether your opposition comes in the form of speech or protest, voting or public meetings, non-violent or violent, obedient or disobedient, your opposition is what marks you as the enemy. The secret police - which is, like its equivalent organizations in countries throughout time, what the FBI is - is interested in you if you dare to oppose. If they want to target a group, they will do so. They will manufacture demand to target the group if needed, as we saw with the school board opponents.

It will never be disposed of. Not until the very end. It never is. Totalitarians keep excellent records. It is one of the oddities of their way of doing things. They want dossiers, as thick as possible and going back as long as possible, on everyone. The only time a totalitarian voluntarily destroys records is when an enemy army is descending on the facility. Then they destroy records with reckless abandon, to try to hide what they've done. Just as the Nazis stoked enormous fires fueled by paper and the Chinese dragged their records onto their consulate lawn to torch them in Texas.

The times and places change. The attitudes and actions never do.

51 It's related to the "U-Haul Index" concept. For example, take a 26' U-Haul truck on a one-way rental for pickup next week. The base price before add-ons is:
San Jose, CA to Orlando, FL: $8,696
Orlando, FL to San Jose, CA: $1,661

Trucks are leaving California, not going there. I suspect the need for trucks in CA is so great that the rental price for people moving there - going against the flow - is likely below cost. That's a 2,800 mile journey that, inbound to CA, can be rented for under 60 cents per mile. Taking into account non-fuel maintenance and depreciation, they're probably not making much on that rental and might be losing money - but losing a lot less than shipping an empty truck back to CA.

I kind of like the subtle distinction on this that the British use.

California simply passes yet another "Clean Air" or "Green Energy" law that prohibits commercial trucks of a certain age, fuel type, purpose, or previous use pattern to be allowed in California.

This throttles the Exodus while also forcing a transition in how moving is conducted. Instead of renting an impossible to obtain one-way truck, a person is now forced to seek intermodal logistics brokers to coordinate moving. It may mean that instead of one moving their stuff, they simply sell/abandon it due to the cost.

On a long-haul move, in my experience, a lot of stuff gets abandoned anyway. You suddenly discover a lot of shit you don't need when you suddenly have to pay to haul it somewhere else far away.

But the intermodal logistics thing can be good. You can also do it yourself, you just need to put in the legwork. You need to pick your priority: time or money. Moving is expensive, but it will always be more expensive in one of those dimensions, and your needs dictate your preferences. I did the intermodal thing on my recent move. I researched and found a container shipper (Pods ended up being best value), coordinated my own movers on each end, did my own packing. For me, time was the factor, not money. I needed to be away from work for a bare minimum of time, and intermodal gave me the flexibility I needed. I pulled off an interstate move with only two work days missed. It was hell.

110 My new conspiracy is that the pandemic was planned at the Jan 2017 Oval office meeting as an emergency fall back if all other attempts to get rid of Trump failed. They knew of attempts to weaponize SARS. Susan Rice changed the rules on GoF research right after that meeting, and Peter Daszak took advantage of the change and asked DARPA for funding. DARPA saw through the cover story that the virus was actually a vaccine to prevent a future SARS outbreak and realized the research was more applicable to GoF to create a bioweapon. Fauci pounced on the opportunity because it has been his dream to be the lead scientist the world turns to in a pandemic. If he helped create it, he can be the hero to stop it.

112 And as Phil Murphy issued a new edict on the "tsunami of Omnicon" he announced, "It doesn't give us any joy, but the school mask mandate is going to have to stay in place for some amount of time longer."

120 California simply passes yet another "Clean Air" or "Green Energy" law that prohibits commercial trucks of a certain age, fuel type, purpose, or previous use pattern to be allowed in California.

This throttles the Exodus while also forcing a transition in how moving is conducted. Instead of renting an impossible to obtain one-way truck, a person is now forced to seek intermodal logistics brokers to coordinate moving. It may mean that instead of one moving their stuff, they simply sell/abandon it due to the cost.

This is how Government Works!

Seriously though, the chances of acute rejection and death are quite high. Chronic rejection is almost certain. He will require lifelong anti-rejection meds.

Posted by: Ted Torgerson at January 12, 2022 08:38 AM (Spr0s)

=========

It's not, but the break happened last year when the Chamber started leaning towards the Democratic Party in terms of election resources. And then leadership of the GOP has been making a lot of noise about how the Chamber isn't welcome in the party anymore.

This implies it's possible that the Chamber is losing influence within the Republican Party which could mean a greater focus on border security in action from the GOP. They follow the money, and if the Chamber is going to be funding the GOP less...

182 Mom was offered the option of a pig heart valve or wait for a human one a few years back.

*****

A pig valve used for valve replacement is very different from a complete transplanted heart. The pig valves are used because they are 1.) readily available, 2.) similar in size to human valves, 3.) durable, 4.) have the functional characteristics of a human heart valve. They are treated, (essentially leatherized or 'pickled') and are not living tissue. And rejection is not a major issue.

A transplanted heart, OTOH, is living tissue and must take over electrical and mechanical functions of the replace heart. Both acute and chronic rejection possibilities exist and must be dealt with continuously. Even the best functioning transplants generally only give an additional 20-25 years survival. They don't last forever.

We probably rounded Q4 at somewhere around 6.6%, maybe 6.8%. That's a disaster, and it's only going to get worse.

Q2 PPI inflation (producer's index) was 6.2%, and that takes time to cascade down to consumer prices. The PPI inflation has been in the double digits for months. The figure for December isn't out yet, but it was double digits in ever month from May through November. There's no end in sight.

If the state and the Fed take decisive action *now* on inflation, it will take at least a year to get back down into something approaching normality.

We did hire load/unload labor, and we did wrap and strap stuff. Just not well enough, apparently. I had no idea the ride was going to be *that* rough. I learned a lot from that experience when I did my own move later. I used a PODS container, and I don't know how rough that is compared to ABF trailers - but I took no chances. I used a lot more of all packing/wrapping materials, more straps, and went higher-quality. I had one item damaged (very minor) in that move.

Congress could at any point pass a law mandating the clot shot - but there probably aren't enough votes for it - even with the Dem majority.

Such a law would also be unconstitutional, but less so then the OSHA mandate. If the SC rules in favor of the mandate the sole reason is because congress would NOT vote for it.

The city proper here, Mogadishu on the Mississippi, has renewed its face diaper insanity for indoor spaces, including restaurants (which already were required to make you show your shot paper). I work in the city but shop very little within it. This will reduce that number to zero.

If I absolutely must go into a city-located shop, I will simply say, as I did before, "Medical exemption." No waving letters this time. If they ask for what, I'll say, "That's between me and my doctor. None of your business."

That, of course, is if the business decides it really wants to be LaToya the Destroya's enforcer. I still see shops in the 'burbs that have a muzzle sign up, but they don't bother me.

No, I am not. I don't expect it to happen. It is just a warning that when they do eventually try to fix it - if they do, which I think they will - it will take a year at minimum to start showing improvement. The longer they wait, the longer it will take to start taking effect. It's a double delay.

279 In France, a life insurance company will not make a payout of several million euros following the vaccination death of a wealthy grandfather and former businessman from Versailles. The policy worth several million euros, which was meant to benefit his children and grandchildren, will not be reimbursed.

The court accepted the insurer's qualification considering, in legal terms, the decedent's participation in the Phase 3 experimentation of a vaccine whose proven harmlessness is non-existent, and in light of the listed side effects, including death, was a voluntary fatal risk not covered by the contract and is legally entered as a suicide.

The family appealed, but the insurer's legal defence submitted that it is well-founded and contractually fair. They argued that it is known publicly, and that this sort of lethal risk-taking is legally a suicide because the client was notified and agreed to voluntarily take the risk of death without being forced or obliged to do so. Therefore death after vaccination is considered a suicide by the courts!

326 Radio panic reports this morning are all about the massive, increase of omicron cases (no mention of deaths) In fact, it is the most transmittable mutation ever! (except for the common cold virus). Which means now we need denser masks with a better seal to save the children.

327 The family appealed, but the insurer's legal defence submitted that it is well-founded and contractually fair. They argued that it is known publicly, and that this sort of lethal risk-taking is legally a suicide because the client was notified and agreed to voluntarily take the risk of death without being forced or obliged to do so. Therefore death after vaccination is considered a suicide by the courts!

333 OT: Crap. Somewhere around my house are either one or two dead mice. The cats had one last night, and I thought it had expired under the stove. This morning they were still playing with a mouse. I don't see how the first mouse survived the night, but I'm really not sure they got lucky and found a second one. My house was built in 1900, before the word "insulation" was even invented, so the walls are thin and porous enough to let entire families of mice in. Normally, we keep a set mouse trap in the cabinet under the sink and just dump the corpses into the outside trash. But the little black cat is able to slip in there without being noticed every time we open the door to put something in the trash there that we've given up setting that trap in case she sticks her paw into it.

348 Sam Harris and other atheists have said that the thing that makes religions bad is the claim to be the one source of Truth that everybody must reckon with.

One of the ideas that goes along with this is that Science is open to inquiry and change.

So how does "settled science" which demands fidelity, moral support, and obedience fit in?

If "Science" is open to inquiry and perhaps even doubt, then "settled science one must heed" is arguably the opposite, and it certainly these days is being used as the moral standard of a sort of reckoning.

It's not a "religion" per se, but it fills up the space of religion. The Settled Science doo-bees are good and the doubters are judged and less than.

They can't. They don't have that level of granular control. The only way to *try* to do that would be to raise rates but become the sole buyer of Treasuries so they can guy them at a higher price than the market would after changing interest rates. That would destroy the primary dealer system and prevent foreigners from buying Treasuries, which will have huge consequences on currency and asset value.

Actually that's the PROBLEM with non-theistic societies.

In a Christian society there is a moral world view that rulers can't change on a dime, which hopefully then informs the laws. And you see this in pre-Woke America.

In a sciency society though the ruler can always get the chief science theologians to pronounce whatever he wants. So there is no protection from the whims of the elites.

We have not differentiated a positive test from an actual disease. This is insane, and yet we are basing our policy decisions on such a lack of distinction. In essence, the government is baffling us with BS."

"Deaths" will track the rise and fall in cases even if Omicron truly is less deadly. Because the death count includes everyone dying WITH COVID. More Omincron cases equates to more COVID deaths, given the insane COVID death definition: Because more people dying from natural causes and accidents will die with COVID. It's simple statistics.

I wonder how The Junta will explain a high rate of Omicron deaths per week while it claims COVID is less deadly? Stay tuned. Inflating deaths was good for the Evil Ones to get rid of Trump. It is not turning out well for Pudding Head and his Gang.

382 Actually that's the PROBLEM with non-theistic societies.

In a Christian society there is a moral world view that rulers can't change on a dime, which hopefully then informs the laws. And you see this in pre-Woke America.

In a sciency society though the ruler can always get the chief science theologians to pronounce whatever he wants. So there is no protection from the whims of the elites.

Or in bumper sticker form: "You want to live in a world with a transcendent moral code."

404 The family appealed, but the insurer's legal defence submitted that it is well-founded and contractually fair. They argued that it is known publicly, and that this sort of lethal risk-taking is legally a suicide because the client was notified and agreed to voluntarily take the risk of death without being forced or obliged to do so. Therefore death after vaccination is considered a suicide by the courts!
___________

Wasn't it Macron recently who announced that French people who refuse to get vaccinated are "no longer citizens"?

Ironic, but there is a reason why here in the U.S., and probably also in France, everybody who gets the shot is required to sign a form saying that they understand the vaccine is experimental and that they can't sue for any resulting injuries or death.

And the reason is sure as hell not because the government believes the bullshit they've been spewing continually about the vaccines being "completely safe and effective!!!"

412 "The Federal Register describes the new system as the best way to keep track of "personal religious information" that is collected "in the context of a public health emergency or similar health and safety incident..."

So they've already gone through executive branch agency-held employee medical records, OPM files, etc. and know those who've listed personal religious information in the event of a medical emergency occurring 'in the line of duty." That coupled with individual service records to their agency/agencies (line-of-duty hazardous positions, volunteering to help during catastrophes, travel to remote nations without usual Western accommodations) provides new and useful worker profiles especially when compared against new COVID-19 religious exemption requests.

Lying to (or the allegations one has lied to) the government IN WRITTEN FORM is the easiest offense in which to be entrapped, and resultant penalties are swift and serious in nature.

Also, has anyone noticed the news stories about COVID-19 vaccine exemptions and the stance by difference religions? I've seen many lately and there are very few on "the list."

Yeah, but then came the chaos of The Year of the Four Emperors. It wasn't until Vespasian took over that things got close to normal again and lasted through the 2-year reign of his son Titus. His other son, Domitian, was apparently a paranoid nut. Then, however, they got the 75 or so years of the Good Emperors up through Marcus Aurelius.

Things . . . declined . . . after that.

DeSantis threatened to send illegals to Martha's Vineyard, if he really wanted to set off some fireworks he should announce all illegals will be jabbed.

450 Delaware County, PA (land of the trolley rapist, medical helicopter crash, the car-jacked Federal Representative and SO much more) has a new ordinance applying to contractors expecting at least 50K from a county contract: They must disclose all political contributions before conducting business with the county. Failure to do so could result in contract termination & a ban on any county work for up to 3 yrs.

Whispering voice: Maybe this, too, is POTatUS approved? Delaware County, PA is a favorite visiting site.

456 There is more evidence to suggest that Ray Epps was attempting to incite the crowd into violence than President Trump was.

The trespass so far has been the problem.
We don't have any evidence that Epps incited violence (any more than Trump), but he's on tape inciting trespass. He speaks to the guy who starts pushing back the barrier fence. Thus, indicating that the barriers had not changed his mind about needing to go into the Crapitall.

So if criminal "parading" needs an incursion into the Crapitall, then he advocated for the necessary condition for these trespass and "extreme parading".

Also, Kinzinger's implication against the crowd chanting "Fed" has less evidence than any accusation against Epps, but Kinzinger actually advances the theory that the crowd, who visibly rejected the suggestion, were actually complicit and covering for being caught on tape listening to a guy saying "We have to go IN to the Capitol". But still the guy caught on tape saying it is peachy-keen.

He's Ray.

460 Some moron decreed yesterday that Douglas County (which is the largest part of Omaha) is back under a mask mandate. I haven't talked to my daughter to find out who because we'll just get into another screaming match. She was raised properly. I know that because I was there. But we sent her off to a nice little liberal arts college. Then she came back to Omaha and got a Masters in Urban Studies.

463 . . . Olsen's remarks come as authorities consider strategies to combat domestic terrorism a year after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which many lawmakers and national security officials have called domestic terrorism.

Including Ted Cruz.

I was fired yesterday over the mandate. My wife sent a text to my daughters to let them know, and my oldest ignored the fact that I am now without a job, and instead berated my wife for bringing me to Christmas "unvaccinated", because had she known she would not have allowed me into her home.

She was also raised right. She also went to a Liberal Arts college.

This is the most insidious part of "fundamental transformation." You don't need a government Gestapo when your own friends, neighbors and even family will do the persecution for them. Eagerly.

466 It's quite funny. The kinds of things they want to allow for our elections would not constitute a fair election in other countries. I mean, even India and Mexico have IDs for voting.
From Wikipedia: "The voter card is issued to all Indian citizens who have attained the age of 18 years and qualify to be a voter. One has to apply on prescribed Form-6 of Election Commission attached with proof of ID, Indian nationality, age and residence...Those of 'unsound mind', convicted of 'corrupt practices', or offenses related to elections are ineligible to vote."
If India can do it with 1.4 BILLION people, why can't we? I mean, the average Indian earns $8.25 a week...

467 I would argue, as we Conservatives tend to do, we tend to complicate things too much. To the left a "domestic terrorist" isn't even someone who speaks out at a school board meeting, or has doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, or even attended the 1/6/2021 rally. No to the left, a domestic terrorist is anyone and everyone who even dares to question any message, narrative or action taken by a Democrat, a Democrat administration or the leftist media (acting as their agent). Just the act of questioning makes one a domestic terrorist in their eyes. See the Justice Department, the FBI, The NIH, NIAID, YouTube, Google, Facebook, Twitter, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post ...

468 And as Phil Murphy issued a new edict on the "tsunami of Omnicon" he announced, "It doesn't give us any joy, but the school mask mandate is going to have to stay in place for some amount of time longer." He uses that phrase anytime he issues a Covid mandate. On the contrary, I think he gets much joy having people obedient and controlled.

Had my first run in this morning with a mask nazi at the local ShopRite in town. Halfway through scanning and bagging my items, an "employee" informed me that I MUST wear a mask. I told her, nope, not dealing with that anymore. She then told me that she could refuse me service. My bad side kicked in (Hungarian/Slovak temperament and all that). I stopped, turned to her and told her that if she continues, I will leave what amounted to nearly a 100 bucks worth of groceries in the cart and she will need to put everything back on the shelves and that the management can KIA. I am so done with this nonsense, going into the third year. I can order everything on line and not have to deal with this ridiculous Murphy mask "mandate". Gah!! Brain dead electorate in this state. SCIENCE!!
