Jails in NZ can't be too bad, just make sure your back is against the wall when you pick up the soap in the showers. Or better yet )))
they are pretty bad - gang run - but i am more likely to end up in a sort of home jail the way things are going
My reply to carolynstahl yesterday ....
Yesterday I was confronted by a woman manager and two of her assistants for not wearing a mask in BJ's Wearhouse store. Things are so confusing here. New York State governor reintroduces mask mandate for state but most counties including mine reject it and will not enforce it. But manager tells me BJ's CEO is making mask wearing mandatory for entry. I told them I will not wear a mask, but they let me continue my shopping. Then I stopped at my local supermarket where an old guy employee chastised me for not wearing a mask.. That got me more stressed. My girlfriend thinks I will get arrested and there will be no one to take care of my cats...
New Yorker here too. I live in the finger lakes, small town between Watkins/Ithaca/Geneva. So far only in Ithaca has anyone mentioned wearing the mask. It's like they're mostly treating it the same way they always did with No Swimming signs around here, putting up the sign for their own liability but not enforcing it.
And I've noticed even the stringent rule followers are now mostly wearing them out of some feeling of obligation to follow those rules rather than fear like they did before. I hardly ever get the hairy eyeball from the masked marauders anymore lol.
We are being treated like children or worse slaves. step out of line and you are made an example of. This is all about sticking multiple needles in our arms for some un Godly reason.
Yeah, and the problem is that so many act like children, wanting government to be their daddy. Self governance all the way for me, and they can keep their experimental fauci ouchies to themselves thanks. I have some theories on what they're trying to do, none of them good. Trying being the operative word, because as it's an experiment I don't think even they know exactly what will come of it.
I see that you live on Long Island,I spent my first 10 years in Patchogue, still have family there and in Centereach :)
Lot more people on the Island now.. But still nice out east here. Things will never be the same in this country. Everything is moving fast. Be safe dreemit
I am being down voted here in hive.. so best to stay clear of me or they will down vote you.
It's like that here, but some friends who are up with legal stuff are taking these people on and tearing strips off them - they don't have a leg to stand on.
I just say I have a mask excemption and they back off.
Even in Aus where they drag people away to the police station, it's all for show and they release them a few hours later with no charges because it wouldn't stand up in court.
