Some states (Like PA) have ordered the closing of all non essential businesses. Food service can stay open but only take out, so McDonalds isn't affected but Donald's diner is. The book store, hobby store, toy store, has to close, but Walmart can stay open because they sell groceries.
So instead of people shopping at local smaller stores near them, they are going to Walmart, whose parking lot is absolutely packed 24/7 and people aren't buying just groceries.
Spez: Walmart has even shortened their hours (they claim to protect employees) but that is just leading to a more crowded store. In reality all the competition has been closed, so they are just reducing their operation costs.
Its almost like the took a best case scenario (like Germany) and generated a perfect curve and put in data points with no natural variability from measurement or response.
Im aware.
Its just odd I can still order a 5 foot "Made in China" dildo from Amazon so I can stop just metaphorically being fucked by China. Meanwhile local toy / book / hobby stores have to be closed, but you can still go to Walmart or Amazon prime.
Even at 50 cents each. someone lost track of 20 million dollars in inventory....
There is so little organic content on reddit anymore.
The front page is full of sponsered content from subs like /TheMandalorianTV or /NintendoSwitch or /formula1 or /nba or /StarWars. These companies have also completely over taken gaming, television, and movie related subs.
Then there is the politics, which includes the news subs, plus all the "political humor" that has over taken everything from pics to "unpopular opinion"
and instead of zoot suits we get fur suits.

My 10 year old foster sister came home from school and proudly stated that she announced she was bisexual to the class and everyone cheered and supported her. She felt special and brave.
We asked her if she knew what bisexual meant, she said it was that she liked both boys and girls. We asked her what that meant and she says that since she has friends that are both boys and girls she is bisexual. We explained that it was an attraction to both and does she want to kiss other girls. EWWWWW! WHAT! THATS WHAT IT MEANS!
Ya... children totally understand these concepts.
Police. They will arrest you. No such thing as a local cop any more who will tell the over reaching state of fuck off. In fact they tend to hire people from outside the area and move cops around a bit to prevent a cop from connecting to much with his community.
