I am in NC, masks are no longer mandated. I attempted to go into the state run liquor stores (ABC stores), they now mandate them in government buildings. Being in a liberal county they are enforcing this. I stared at the guy in disbelief and left. I try not to take it out on the moron whose job it is to police this, even though at some point we need to make there job suck.
I will not wear a mask, so I drove to a neighboring county with a conservative sheriff, no signs on the ABC store there. I made a larger than normal purchase.
The taxes from ABC stores are distributed to the counties where the purchase was made. So I emailed my county telling them what I had done and that I will push all my friends and neighbors to do the same. I will do the same thing if masks are mandated for grocery stores, if the local stores won't let me shop mask free I will drive to other counties, I will not order online, I will deprive the business of my money.
I know this is small, but we all need to do these small things to make a big difference. Thanks for reading.
Good for you, especially the part about emailing your county with the news that they're losing tax revenue.
I have left stupid anti-human counties because I don't want to pay taxes there.
thanks, small thing, but my purpose was to test out my plan. If things get bad and they mandate masks everywhere, my first step will be to test out stores around me see if they will not harass me about shopping with no mask, if that doesn't work I will head out of town to shop. If this keeps up, it will be time to move to one of the more rural counties.
Life is made of the small things.
you are right, that is why I ended that statement with this, 'even though at some point we need to make there job suck.'
But when doing that I think I have to plan, I cannot let adrenaline run the show. Next time I may plan to point out there similarities to nazi's and commie's.
But I agree with your sentiment.
thanks for your kind words.
It is the power of one that changes the world! Godspeed!
It's a shame! They're regulating commerce this way.
Nothing is small if we all get together and do it. Way to go, fren!
You must be in Mecklenburg. Good going.
Wake
That was my guess, or Wake/Durham.
wake
Good job. Doing this is catching, and it's bigger than you think! :)
I did make sure to tell the cashiers in the free county that I came there from 45 minutes away due to the forced masks in my county. I am all about letting it all hang out now, I don't give a shit what people think of me any more.
Ahh... that Raleigh crowd....
not raleigh, but wake county. Harnett and Johnston are still free America. I may move there someday.
awesome that is exactly why I shared this.
