Actually, I have modified my schedule. I get up really early. Work. And if I need to get to the store, I go when it opens. Some stores have an hour in the morning for older people only. I can’t go to the old-people’s hour, but right after - get there as early as possible. I’ve noticed that the store is relatively empty, and the shelves have been restocked. I’ve been able to get disinfecting wipes and TP this way.
People are still buying water bottles - that’s the unsolved mystery of the decade.

Yeah, everyone wears gloves while shopping. And I have seen several behaviors that bother me:
- People reuse the gloves. What good does this do? Let’s say your gloves prevent something from getting on your hands. Great. But you take them off in the car and set them down... then pick them back up and fuss with them. I mean, if you’ve ever seen nurses in a hospital, they will get a new pair of gloves for every room. They leave the room, they discard the gloves. Enter a room, get another pair. I know why people reuse - lack of supply. But it isn’t helping much.
- People with gloves discard the gloves in the parking lot. Not sure if this has happened in your area. But here, there have been runs on the store, and the glove hoarders use the gloves in the store, and throw them away on the ground as they get in their car. Pure assholery.
- People use gloves... but still touch their face. *sigh*

Will Governor Cuomo be the Next President?
by RubaDub intrying to put politics aside (even though that won't really work), but ny governor andrew cuomo is blowing the other politicians out out the water (orange man [trump] and the lizard [biden]).. i don't know if cuomo has a usb port in the back of his head plugged into a hard drive but the guy speaks, analyzes and talks coherently.
the orange man always passes difficult questions to someone else.
the lizard can't comprehend what the question is but tries to answer something.. cuomo comes out with facts, analysis and direction on what needs to be done.

Cuomo said that all authoritarian effort is worth it, even if it saves one life. If we are successful in preventing just one death, no amount of economic hardship is too much. Don’t even discuss the net effects.
He also cheered on the latest NY abortion bill that allows termination of a pregnancy until birth.
Again, there is a sense of justification in what he is doing. But I don’t buy his motivation. If you think Cuomo actually cares about anyone, you are a fool. He is a leftist. That means he a bubbling stew of incompatible ideologies and logical contradictions - an opportunist with an addiction to power.
My worry is that all of the temporary controls will be “temporary”.

Seems to make sense to me. As a lefty, imposing some sort of martial law and/or initiating tight controls on the lives of everyone else, is second nature. Note: I’m not making a comment on whether this situation requires such controls. Perhaps it does. All I’m saying is that if you want a Ponzi scheme done correctly, you look to Madoff, not a CPA. If you want a brick wall, hire a mason, not a cobbler. All the lefties that love the centralization have a huge tent in their pants. Finally, a lefty gets to flex some lefty muscle. They’ve had lefty blue balls for too long, and now at long last, some action. Again, this might be called for at this time. And, yes, I think eventually this authority has to be put back in a tightly locked box. But until then, many-a-lefty will marvel at a true craftsman.

Magic backpack of divine origin.... exposed to “internet gas”....
So Trailblazer is an overweight foster/group home teen, and she inherited a magic backpack of divine origin.... from her grandfather.... Good lord. Is it the magic backpack that allows her to run?
And Screentime was exposed to internet gas... and this is, as the guy says, the logical conclusion.
