Are there government mandates where you live? Here they force businesses to enforce the mask orders. The government is holding a gun to these already struggling businesses. I don't like businesses enforcing these laws but I also don't blame them for doing so.
Civic duty. I'm a contractor and refuse to comply with tyranny, if you want me to wear a mask in your home I'm going to quadruple your price. Fuck this shit, I'm $350 an hour to wear a mask...
Edit: Government mandates? Tell me where it says I need to comply? If you are so terrified of something why are you inviting the public in for a burrito or asking me to wire your hot tub?
This shit is a joke.
Contractor here...when I moved to Florida in April, my first client was a hysterical beaner chick wearing a mask, she wanted me to wear one too. Needing work, I put on a mask, inspected the work to be done, estimated it should cost $200, and quoted her $500. She agreed, I did the work, left, and immediately blocked her number. Since then, not one other client has ever mentioned masks. Business is booming...if anyone should ever mention masks again I will laugh in their diaper-face and wish them good luck finding someone.
How is Florida? I have been thinking about going there to escape this liberal shit hole.
What a load of bullshit. Any business too pussy to stand up for freedom can go under. Fuck them. I don't feel sorry for anyone who compromises with the enemy and won't even stand up and fight. If I'm going to risk it all and be unemployed over this shit, then they can too.
I know businesses that stood against it and told them to shove their citations up their asses, and guess what - charges dropped because it's not a law created by legislators, and it's not Constitutional!
Exactly. Busniesses should not comply to unconstitutional government mandates. Any business that is not complying in the county I live in that has mask mandates have my respect. (I've only seen 1 and it's a gun store).
I hope I can find a hardware store with similar sentiments.
similar sediments.
Men like you are the bedrock of society.
Thats how I look at this, my area has mask mandates and vax pass mandates. Some businesses are what I call collaborators. Plenty of signage and gung ho enforcement, making it clear that the business supports mandates. Fuck them, they probably collected Cerb and EI while I was working twice as hard dealing with covid regulations.
The other category is complyers. I can't blame someone for doing what is necessary to continue earning an income. Several restaurants in my area told the government to eff off, and got slapped with fines, and court ordered closures. Only able to re open once compliance was demonstrated.
I don't need restaurants, they need me and although I've mostly broken the habit of paying others to cook for me, I won't be spending my money at the business of a collaborator if I can help it
