I Know…

…this is going to be a very unpopular opinion for bleeding heart liberals like myself, but after making a trip to the local Target for groceries today, I'm beginning to think that maybe the herd needs to be culled and humanity needs a purge after all.

Except for the store employees, myself and a very few others, no one was wearing masks. No one (including Target employees, who seem to insist on stocking the shelves when the store is busiest and blocking aisles in the process) was observing the 6-foot rule. I tried, but it seemed no matter where I stopped to look at my list or answer a text, some yahoo was standing next to me within a matter of seconds. And people were touching everything.

I asked three different employees the location of a particular item. I got three different responses, all incorrect. It was only when I opened up the Target app on my phone and searched myself did I find what I was looking for.

Like last weekend, the amount of Saturday traffic was near normal, indicating the people are not staying home except for essential trips out of the house. And it seems that during the four (six?) weeks of stay-at-home orders, most of the population has forgotten how to fucking drive.

If it takes a pandemic to rid the species of the willfully ignorant, then so be it. Let them congregate in their churches. Let them gather together on statehouse steps and scream that businesses be reopened. Hell, let Trump's lickspittle Republican governors open their states and ensure that when a second wave of Corona hits in October, it will further reduce the number of  the Orange Baboon's voters; his "very fine people."

  1. I agree with you 100% on this. The only catch is trying to keep (and subsequently your family) safe when having to deal with these idiots.

    And you're right, we have to be extra vigilant while driving because people really have lost their minds when behind the wheel of a car. The erratic driving typically found in Chicago is nothing like what I experienced driving on the expressways today.

  2. I have gotten to that point as well. I definitely think the gene pool needs some chlorine. Sadly, I know it will take out some of the innocent, but those who don't head the warning deserve it.

    Aside from healthcare workers that we know and a few elderly people, when we have ventured away from the house, the Husbear and I are some of the few people we see actually wearing masks. I've even had people scoff at me about wearing them. I've gotten snarky and just told them I'm wearing it to protect them and then cough really hard. They usually run. Fuckers.
