I know a lot of information is available online to look at but I prefer some information from people instead of news that could be biased in favor or against something.
What are the state of things for everyone around America and the world? I'm sure people from other countries use this website.
Here in FL, life has never really changed aside from seeing people wearing masks. I go to stores without a mask, no one cares. I go out to eat without a mask and 95% of people are also not wearing masks. It does make me feel bad for the employees that are told to wear a mask or find another job.
I know Amazon is not popular to some because of Parler but Parler was never anything for us anyways. I happen to like Amazon prime movies, Amazon unlimited music, and the prime delivery. I also have Walmart deliver big packs of TP so I don't have to deal with it in a store, to a car, etc. Maybe it's a bit of laziness but I am getting older, not younger lol.
I bring up those because if I am home when something is delivered, they hand it right to me, usually without a mask, no 6ft bs, as if life has never changed. If I order a pizza, the delivery driver is the same way. I go into stores without a mask, all is normal. Many places have employees either without a mask on or with it pulled down under their chin.
I know that I don't know truly how bad it is for people living in more liberal areas so I assume there might be others that would not know truly how bad things have gotten. I was wanting to see what other people are having to go through.
When this mess is over with, and it will be one day, many of us will likely be helping each other kind of rebuild the world in a way. Not literally but I can imagine a lot is going to change.
I live in rural Missouri and, other than some people shopping with masks on (never mandated here), my life is the same as it was in 2019. My sister lives a few hours from me in another rural part of Missouri and she's pretty much had the same experience. She did comment the other day that she's seeing fewer people in masks, and in particular some previously hardcore maskers are no longer wearing them.
It's difficult for me to imagine what it's like in the hardcore blue areas, and I'm so thankful I don't have to experience that.
Congratulations on getting out and getting back to rural!
The biggest difference I've ever noticed between big and small cities is people seem to always be in a hurry in big cities. Here in Tampa, it seems like someone on a bike or on foot is always getting hit by a car, far more common than it should be.
I will be moving further south eventually though. I moved here from north FL a few years ago.
Here in Michigan it sucks. But I'm what they call a bitter clinger.
The problem with some of these things is that no one should have to move away from where they call home just because liberals are ruining their city but that seems to be more normal now days.
I refuse to leave. This is where I've made my home.
That's good because you shouldn't have to leave where you call home just because others screw up things nearby. This mess will not be ongoing forever, it will come to an end eventually.
