At one point people couldn’t even go to a sporting event without one. Now it’s, “Just kidding.”. Idiots
I wasn’t allowed to eat in the food court at the mall with my daughter and we both had ours.
But because I don’t carry my government issued ID with me at all times (I have my vaccination stuff in my iOS wallet and my daughters in a PDF and pay for shit using my watch) the security guards wouldn’t let us sit down to eat.
It was perfectly fine for us to sit on a bench in the mall and eat though. It was perfectly fine for us to stand in line to buy food, too.
Just not good enough to present a vaccination card without a government issued photo ID to sit in the food court. I don’t know how the security guards expected me to have a government issued photo ID for my daughter though, maybe that was just a requirement for people 18+
So ridiculous.
So we are just making shit up now?
I swear you people forget that we all lived through this shit too. It wasn’t that long ago.
“These policies could have saved hundreds of lives but it inconvenienced me a tiny bit so I will not stand for it!”
If you think government overreach during covid ‘inconvenienced’ people a ‘tiny bit’ you’re crazy.
My wife lost her job 3x, 3 different jobs, all because the government kept shutting down businesses.
Even my barber lost his business, I donated to a go fund me he put up to try to save it, but it wasn’t enough.
Because he stepped out in his own and took the risk of starting his own business (dude had 5 kids and he and his wife both ran the barbershop together) but hadn’t been in business for two years or whatever, the government shut him down and didn’t pay him anything.
He still had to pay rent on the space though, he still had to pay his loans to get the business up and running. I hope he’s recovered somewhat financially from that, but he never returned to that business.
Maybe he killed himself, I sure hope not, but people surely did.
So no, government overreach didn’t ‘inconvenience’ people ‘a little bit’
It hurt a lot of people.
