I remember some time when the Walmart (which I mostly avoid) had arrows painted on the floor in which direction you had to go. Of course I had not noticed and went in and out as I pleased ! At the same time they had reorganized the store and everyone had to search for everything. Since then I go even less
With all I could say negative about NYC during the past 2.5 years, I'm fortunately to have so many stores (mostly mom-and-pop ) within walking distance. This enabled me to pick and choose which establishments were less frustrating and annoying to patronize.
To anyone with experience of fine particles or aerosols, the six foot rule was immediately and clearly absurd. I tried explaining the basic physics, to no avail. Salon socialists who "believe in science" were vituperatively confident of their own righteousness. To them, it was a moral crusade. Anyone on the wrong side of that was a crypto-Trumpist goon.
The Trump reference looms larger and larger now, James. The Covid "rules" gave so many people a chance to publicly signal that they do not support the Orange Man™. And now, it seems the entrenched establishment is trying to dump all the blame on him for the jabs.
For the record, I despise Trump and his support for Warp Speed is prison-worthy. But to blame him for the collective criminality is classic media amnesia.
The bioweapon injections were formulated on 13-14 Jan 20. Warp Speed was announced on 29 Apr 20. Any blame of Warp Speed belongs to medical establishment types - left-leaning mostly, whose jobs were to run it. They had been pining and scheming for years of how to skip the decade of clinical trials needed to get vaccines to market and also what could be done to coerce more to increase uptake.
The actually effective monoclonal antibodies came out of Warp Speed.
Always ignore the social distancing BS - and the ubiquitous hand sanitizer BS - never once - all the protocols were designed to increase fear, disease, and stupidity.

that is about the only thing I like when on the NY islands ! so many old fashioned stores still. So many to choose from !

Dead on, as usual, Will.
