Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Prostituting a National Crisis

Monday, the beginning of the non-work week for many unless you're home working, or happen to work in essential 'life sustaining' positions.  Certain retailers are considered 'life sustaining' because of the products and services they provide.  They are open for those people out there who are experiencing emergencies.  Say your refrigerator dies and you need a new one, or your water heater explodes, these retailers are open for those people.  Believe me when I tell you, yesterday the definition of 'life sustaining' was seriously challenged.  People were browsing the 'life sustaining' floor samples and buying the 'life sustaining' paint.  They showed up at our garden center eager to purchase 'life sustaining' mulch.  One woman complained about our mulch pricing of 3 for $10 when the bags of mulch rang up at $3.33 each.  There were a lot of MAGA hats walking though our front doors, but to be perfectly honest, there were just a lot of dumb fucking people.
I understand things are going to be different today.  Certain decisions have been made to curtail the casual shopper who shows up simply because we are open.  I suspect certain non essential 'life sustaining' departments will be closed.  Customers will most likely not be allowed in to test the patio furniture.
Evidently there's a lot of complaining about our Idiot Jerk's daily updates regarding the plague he so easily dismissed a few weeks back.  I was talking to a friend last night who said she turns them off when he starts talking about himself.  I asked "does he?" and she replied "hell, yeah."  I checked this morning and complaints are coming from so many on how he's turning these updates into mini-campaign rallies.  You have to remember, he is a reality TV Host who will use any and every opportunity to sell his orange ass.  His supplicants will bow down in adoration.  Sane Americans, on the other hand, are turning off his lies.  How like a Conservative to prostitute a National Crisis in his bid to get re-elected.
Finally, I took a pic of one of my daffodils.  Is this sucker bright or what?

  2. I get that people don't want to stay home, or if they are they might do some projects, but going to their local home store is just plain dumb.

    1. They aren't taking it seriously because it's not effecting them personally. They're thinking selfishly.

  3. I usually mute the TV when Trump comes on because I can't stand his voice. In any case all he ever says is "we've got this, we're doing great, the economy's the best it's ever been and that reporter asked a mean question"! Don't need to listen after that do you! And I love the bit about trying out life-sustaining patio furniture. Ain't that the truth!

    1. My department has lots of free non-essential flooring samples, and they pick them up and put them down, and pick them up and put them down.

  4. Love daffodils!
    And because IMPOTUS does not have his rallies he’s giving those televised updates only serve his frail egos and psychotic need for attention. But they need to stop broadcasting them. He’s gonna have tons of people killed with his stupidity and improvised bullshit.

  5. The flowers have been a lovely perseverance in all this mess.

    I am monitoring my money very carefully. I will support small business when I need to. But this running around dropping money so loose and free is very surprising. I just worry something is going to happen.

    I've even kept more cash then normal "hidden" at home. Plus for food take out if needed.

    1. No, but if the Republicans have their way, the corporate prostitutes are going to make out much better than your Mom and Pop variety.
