There's just no hope. We'll never learn. If science doesn't save us from the idiots, we're doomed.
I've been running around most of the morning. Went to Lowe's to pick up the Christmas tree. The "sales" guy that ran the register was wearing a mask, but not over his nose. I told him that pretty much rendered his mask moot and he said, "I don't care. It's just store rules I have to wear it, so..."
So I told him not to come near me, he said, "sure, no problem". Now, he was a pretty big guy, so I really didn't get why when I brought my tree up he called on a girl to come trim it. (Fine example of today's man, I guess.)
I went out to pull my car over to the loading area. Once I got there she comes out with the tree. No mask. At all. So I told her, "just leave it leaning there and I'll get it."
She looked "shocked" and somewhat offended when I said, "Ma'am, I'm an at risk person and you're not wearing a mask at all. Just leave it leaning there and I'll get it."
It's just staggering. It's absolutely staggering that with all that's going on, with all the people dying, with all the people sick, with hundreds of businesses folding, millions out of work, that there are still people like this.
