There is a small grocer near my parents house just outside of Boston. The guys been there for decades and enjoyed the communities support especially considering there are Costco's, Wal Marts and other shit holes like that all around.
During the plandemic I went in there mask less and he gave me shit every time. It's like he completely forgot who I am, how long my family has been supporting him and just how much money I've poured into his business.
Eventually I just stopped going cause he pretty much without banning me directly, banned me.
My parents told me he's struggling as costs have soared and most people are shopping at wal-mart etc.
I ran into this just a few minutes ago leaving my parents house and he's all friendly and asking me shit like "where you been? we missed you!" yada yada...
I cut him off before he could go on with the fake pleasantries and trying to get me to come back. Told him without mincing words that he's never getting a dime from me again and that him and every other business like him deserve exactly what they are getting because when I tried to support him, he gave me shit in order to win the favor of a bunch of virtue signalling cowards in the store he assumed would remain loyal. And that now they are nowhere to be found as Costco has what he has but cheaper which is exactly where they all are.
He looked defeated and I walked away.
Not trying to sound hard or anything but I genuinely don't give a fuck about any of them facing hardship. If you're too stupid to take my money as I argue for to you have it, you don't deserve success.
It's identical to what my BIL up in Canada told me about the area the convoy was in. All the businesses that remained open against the suggestions of police made a killing and the virtue signalling faggots complained to the government later that they lost all sorts of revenue.
Fuck every single one of them. I have zero patience for these people. None.
This also doesn't take into account how terrified MA retail is because crime has rocketed and over Christmas, people were legit scared to shop in person so that caused massive hits to walk in shops.
Are there any based small businesses that get your support? I share your frustration and support your honesty in dealing with the owner. But when these shops disappear what are we left with? The big box stores that are actually colluding with the government.
I'm in MA, there are no based small businesses and if there are, I don't know of any. People here are fucking lunatics. There are two gas stations who never gave me shit and they are owned by one East Indian family so I generally went there. But MA is unbearably liberal shit heads.
My wife and I lived in Florida near my brother and his wife for a year or so a few years prior to plandemic. I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have lol.
But you're right. We need to leave this place. It's insane. People are still voluntarily wearing masks in hoards lol
Florida is a little unusual, imo. I wouldn't care to live there, myself. But there are wonderful conservative - heads on straight - states out there. I can't imagine the misery of living in MA. I hope you're able to either effect change there or find a better place to live. (there truly are so many.)
Can confirm. Could not red pill a friend who moved from Boston to SF to Austin. Said all his faggot friends were more important than the fact the guy he voted for is a literal pedo. Keep in mind his faggot friends lack nothing in terms of rights. I tried every logic based trick in my book and when I finally gave up and showed him the clips I knew the friendship was over. The worst part was seeing just how quick his buddy in the discord server went from nice guy to HOLY SHIT A NAZI IS TRYING TO NAZIFY US....by simply asking him to defend his position on orange man. The most enlightening thing to come from that was him asking how can I say he wasn't racist when he retweeted a video with some guy going hardcore racist within 4 seconds. It was part of the news cycle for a very short period of time and disappeared. I had no answer for it....then I asked him why they would say he's a racist for stopping travel from China over a virus which is asinine and NEVER bring up that weirdly racist retweet. Those weak strawmen are easy to knock down but that retweet? Just strange.
I'm curious about this retweeted racist video. Do you know what the video is called?
Surprising. I know NY and NJ have really based regions, most parts are, outside of the urban sprawl.
NY really does have some amazing spots. MA does as well but not near me. Once wife's job is permanent we're outta here. Heading to Florida where brothers family lives.
That's the place to be.
Only place near me with natural alternate meds was a local natural food store. They had a mask enforcer at the door spraying you down.
Yeah it is bad here.
I could NOT get over the amount of holistic/natural stores that inforced the covid tyranny. They lost all credibility with me. They OBVIOUSLY have no idea what they stand for or sell. 🙄
It's incredibly strange that the natural foods people were so into itlol
I k n ow right but before being redpilled I used to think those stores were for the cooky anti science liberal commie types. Now they are still there but besides the products being sold they are totally establishment now. So weird.
There’s based coffee shop in my town, owned by an older guy that retired from some career to pursue his dream. From day one of the mask tyranny he had signs on his doors and inside the business stating that your health choices are yours; we won’t ask you about your mask choice and please don’t ask us. Never saw a mask in the place and he was always busy.
There is a precious metals store actually that is like this. But unfortunately he left a year ago. He was pretty based and hooked up great deals.
The PM crowd is pretty based to the bone for the most part, aside from some of the numismatic/artsy types.
Bang on.
There’s a great health store near me like this, their policy was that lots of people with disabilities and kids with autism couldn’t wear masks, so they did NOT enforce a mask policy, it was the customer’s choice. They still had crazy customers throwing fits and trashing them on google for not enforcing masks.
They’ve been around for over 40 years and I will always shop there now.
