Most every store in my little town has a sign that says masks are required, but walk inside and see only about 1/3 of people wearing masks and those are primarily elderly people, so probably it's appropriate.
One evening at a local gas station, heard the black lady say to someone who was covering their mouth with a shirt, "don't worry honey, you don't need to feel that way about not wearing a mask."
Racism is bullshit here, too. I'm about as rural as it gets... My little town has a single red light, a dollar store, and a piggy wiggly. I drive by the school and see teenage boys (both black and white) playing hoops on Saturdays and gay couples walking hand in hand in the park.
MSM wants to sell lockdowns and racism. My corner of America ain't buying either.
Amen.
I want to move there. Unfortunately your governor appears to suck almost as bad as mine just no one listens. Love Tennessee
