I went to a King County (read:?) Home Depot yesterday, walked mask-free into the outdoor garden center area first, chittin’ the chat with a (masked but) helpful employee; good times, no hassle, I’m liking this.
And then I asked, in earnest (if also contemptuously dismissive) curiosity, “so are they still doing that mask thing inside?”
His reply was “Well, if you’re vaccinated, it’s up to you.” And with that, my [child] and I went inside, strode the aisles for 1/2 hour, free-breathing like kings (or, really, just like actual human beings used to do), hoping that just one of the still-masked shuffling sheep would say something to my handsome, glorious uncovered face… in which case I could then helpfully educate them on the “new rules”. Nobody did. Sigh.
So thank you Donald Trump for the warp-speed vax or whatever. Hell no, I ain’t taking it, and I’ll inject a bureaucrat with lead before I let them inject my kids with this grotesque science experience. But it has hilariously defanged the maskhole totalitarians, even in a risk-averse chain store in blue-hell King County.
And the smile-inducing kicker is that, despite probably 95% of the people in the store having already been jabbed, 95% of the people in the store were amazingly still wearing masks… and the 5% who weren’t were probably the same 5% who haven’t been jabbed. ? Sheep gotta sheep, and real humans gotta breathe free.
And yes, of course the totalitarians will likely soon realize the reality, that the free people are reclaiming their freedom, while they are still humiliatingly chained to fear. And so they will indeed likely try to push some “vax passport” just for the transparently-obvious sake of control. But it’s too late. There’s truly no going back.
Also… at the same time, it’s becoming more and more clear every day that the cabal has been epically set up, and are going to be smashed in short order. Totally.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Oh, I'm a West Coaster at heart. I hate bugs and humidity, and I've lived around blunatics all my life, so I've built up my immunity to them. It's a trade-off that has worked for me, and I still like where I live a lot, and the opportunities are good here... but I will move (to the Great State of Idaho, probably) if Marxism starts to becomes a bigger direct threat to my kids.
For someone from somewhere else with a higher tolerance for bugs and freezing/sweltering weather, there might likely be better, cheaper, saner places to live than western Washington, for sure. (And yes, it's grayer here around Seattle than many other places here in the winter, but it's far better than the stereotype and is fantastically outdoor-usable all year long. And the falls are nice, if short, and the spring is glorious, and the summers are just perfect.)
Now Eastern Washington is entirely different; seemingly as based as anywhere in the country. Certainly cheaper, on the whole. Weather a little more variable. Very different than on this side of the Cascades, but IMHO wonderful. However, it's still currently ruled by Jay Inslee and the Democrat Dicktators. Which is sad and disgusting.
Can I ask where you might be considering moving to WA State from? Depending on what you're looking for, I'll put in a possible plug for Idaho (yes, it's a big, varied state, but I'll generalize it as just "Idaho" for this purpose) - whether northern Idaho or southern, that lovely state possesses an attractive combination of factors that appeal to me.
Cheers!
