I was out and about today for work, I saw hundreds of people, and two masks. Rural Indiana largely ignored mandates, with the smaller cities mostly playing along, barely half-heartedly.
Since election time however, most everybody's been done with it. Like other places, people are tired and want normalcy. With the idiots in charge, and rhinos being outed everywhere, even fewer people have patience like before.
It's been beautiful, mid-70s, and not many people care about masks.
For myself, I talked my mother out of getting the vaccine with evidence from everywhere. My dad still wants it, but he will come around eventually.
They're flying this month for the first time in over a year, both retired. Nervous about getting covid-19, they still haven't got it, it's understandable, they're old. :-)
FYI, Rex's is still there, although its gone down hill a tad. They are mostly known for their fights, and roudy drunks.
They have a lot of good nights too, though.
I'm thinking of making a post about menards, as a case study. On the one hand, masks=stupid. On the other, I firmly believe a company can make whatever rules they want, America is great that way. I really like Menards as a store, so I put up with it there, even though I didn't anywhere else. I had interesting talks with employees about it too... I should write that up.
You should, I feel the same, a company can make their own rules, and if we don't like it, we spend our money somewhere else, voting with our dollars I guess.
