They're asking for trouble.

Our local gun range/gun club is re-opening with this requirement. Stand outside until members ahead are served, even if they're "just looking". Members must stand 6 feet apart (inside is just 8 feet from door to counter), only 4 allowed on indoor range with 8 lanes, everyone to wear a mask. Employees behind a sneeze guard and mask. Instead of handing them a membership card, yell your name so anyone else can use your membership. No mention of gloves...yet. I'll let my membership expire until common sense returns.

I'm just having difficulty deciding which one to wear.



I was in a Costco Monday here in PA, and saw a man wearing the camo version of this. I laughed as it was really PA he was ridiculing, not Costco. They are just following what is required and I remain strongly against the over reach here.

The big tech companies don't really need their employees to return to the office since the vast majority can work remotely from home. The few that work on physical hardware need to be onsite but that's a small minority.

I thought that was insightful since they're not clamoring to return to work.

This one makes a statement on so many levels.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) on Wednesday announced that the state would begin reopening its economy after it was almost completely shut down over the coronavirus pandemic, saying hospitals, dentists, and veterinarians offices can soon resume non-emergency procedures.

“I want to assure Virginians that if we begin to see cases and hospitalizations rates rise again, we are all prepared to take swift and necessary action,” he proclaimed during a press conference, adding that the state’s testing capabilities have improved significantly.

He also indicated that the state is no longer concerned about potential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shortages and hospital bed capacity.

Last Friday, Gov. Northam shared the “blueprint” to reopen Virginia, which outlines a phased approach to reviving the state embraced by several other regions.

On Wednesday, Northam confirmed Breitbart News’s determination that Virginia already meets at least three of the four metrics the governor said must be met for the state to move to a Phase One reopening, with the fourth being close to being achieved.

Northam said VA had met all four metrics for Phase One, which means some non-essential businesses reopen with strict safety restrictions, continued social distancing, continued teleworking, and recommended face coverings in public

If employees want to wear a mask...great. if customers want to wear one...that's fine too but I'll be damned if will go into anyplace that says I MUST wear one to come in. Mine will be cancelled at once.

Contacted Costco today and requested they refund my membership fee immediately. If they want to go down this rabbit hole they can do it without me and my membership. I like Costco and shop there weekly, but I'm not bending to these stupid mask mandates.

My son was at the checkout in a WAWA in Maryland the other day. One clerk on duty looked at the other and said, "Well, it IS a mask," causing my son to turn around. Behind him stood a fellow in a big, fuzzy, college-mascot-type (think Penn State Nittany Lion or Pitt Panther) bear head.

I thought about buying some lace to make my own mask, but opted to claim medical exemption since I'm currently wearing an oxygen hose. Had one lady bitch out a store owner friend of mine for allowing me in without a mask, even though the oxygen use is obvious.

This might be what I go with.

To show you just what a shithead our governor here in Pennsylvania is check this out:

He made mask wear mandatory in all grocery stores and businesses like Lowes etc as of April 15th.

My employer (Lockheed Martin) decided not too long after to make mask wear in ALL LM facilities mandatory regardless of state order.

We got an email about mask wear guidance and it clearly stated that once you are inside an office or cubicle or otherwise more than 6 feet away from another person, you may remove it, but then there’s an asterisk and it says except for you people in Pennsylvania, you have to keep them on at all times.

Fuck that. I had to go in today and it came off the second I got into my cube.

This on top of their other restrictions...

Not shitting you, but at the grocery store last weekend I saw a guy with a paper towel over his mouth and nose, attached, miraculously, by some elastic strips.

I can’t tell you how many I’ve seen wearing their mask over their mouth and not their nose. Geniuses.

CA Gov Newsom

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing pushback as state lawmakers have begun demanding details of his nearly $1 billion deal to receive 200 million masks per month from a Chinese manufacturer .

Just two weeks after announcing the deal, Newsom has remained largely mum on the specifics.

Advisers to the California Democrat have declined requests for comment from the Los Angeles Times about the agreement, which was inked with Chinese electric car manufacturer BYD — which stands for Build Your Dreams — earlier this month.

The Buffett-backed company also operates a US subsidiary in Lancaster, California, which employs about 1,000 people, according to the Times.

the company said on its website that it had converted one of its manufacturing facilities into “the world’s largest mass-produced face masks plant,” adding that it would make 5 million masks per day in the fight against the spread of the virus.

After announcing the deal, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow pressed Newsom for details, though he would only say he had decided to utilize “the purchasing power” of California “as a nation-state,” and that of the 200 million masks, 150 million would be N95 masks and the remainder would be surgical masks.

The California Senate and Assembly have also been kept in the dark about the deal, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) sent a letter to the Newsom administration requesting full details, including quality standards and price per mask.

“Under normal circumstances, the Legislature would have had more time to deliberate an expenditure of this magnitude and would have been allowed to thoroughly vet the details of the contract before proceeding,” Mitchell wrote.

The paper reports that a Newsom administration official refused to provide state senators with a copy of the contract during a budget oversight hearing in Sacramento last Thursday, despite the state having already paid half the cost.

The state’s chief deputy director of the Office of Emergency Services told senators via videoconference that providing all specifics of the deal would risk disrupting the supply line of masks to the state.

Yeah. I get the idea of a private business requiring whatever they want of people who want to do business with them on their private property. I also get the idea of potential customers telling them where to go if the potential customers find the requirements unreasonable. However, Costco is a membership deal and customers there have paid for membership. I wonder if the membership agreement allows Costco to unilaterally change the conditions. If not, one would think they would be forced to refund the membership of anyone who asked.

What a cluster!

Of course the Evil Queen of MI is going to throw some kind of freebie to her leftist supporters in the form of some kind of education.
Everybody else is pissed off at her and she see her political future going down the drain.
Future Prediction for Michigan:
She will push for massive income and gas tax hikes in order to offset the damage she had done to the states economy.

Who do we report this violation to ?

I hope that woman has been on the phone to the best lawyer in the state and sues that department for all she can get. What a clown show!

A little background on Fauci. I have no way to verify this woman’s claim.

With a minimum projected $3B tax revenue shortfall... How is she going to pay for this??

I see the socialist ideals sneaking in behind the veil of gratitude. By the way, the people who qualify for the GI Bill sacrifice years of their lives not weeks of doing their normal jobs.

Anyone want to bet Biden jumps in to support this? "When I'm president I'll support this with federal funding...."
