Just repeatedly attack their locks with superglue.

Any and all locks.

A glued lock is absolutely demoralising. You need to remove and replace the lock; cleaning solvents wont do a good enough job to properly free all the pins/mechanisms. Lock protectors get glued too lol. Nothing is safe from sticky bandits. It only takes a squirt or two... And it is very easy + legal to carry a tiny tube everywhere.

I'm not condoning this lightly, I am respectful of property and hard work of others and all that... I'm providing a real strategy to replace the questionable ideas I see scattered around with something that is low risk and highly effective.

P.S. be aware of cameras. Hide your identity, distort your body size, alter your gait.

Or go into a store unmasked and start telling people that you have covid.

That'll get 'em riled up. Might force them to close and get everyone tested. What you suggest is vandalism- what I suggest breaks no laws, it simply takes advantage of the insane policies these assholes are adopting and enforcing. This will probably only work in the places that really deserve it, the most hysterical businesses.

And all it takes is a few words to/near a manager/hysterical busybody: "Hi, I just tested positive for covid" while standing 4 feet from someone. You're not invading their space, what you say can't be construed as harassment or a threat if you simply leave it at that. If they ask you to leave, leave or else you're trespassing.

This is legitimately flirting with assault charges. Coughing near or towards someone has already received convictions of assault; threatening someone with exposing them to the pandemic virus would almost certainly bring assault charges, maybe even battery and in the wrong state, attempted murder

I didn't say cough. Or threaten to expose them.

Simply inform them that you may have covid.

You're not lying. You might have it, despite not being sick- after all, it can be asymptomatic!

We need to turn their own bullshit against them. And you can do it without breaking the law or menacing people.

And imagine the attention it'd get if a man was arrested in the USA for simply saying, calmly as he passes a manger, not directed at anyone in particular: "I might have covid." This might help to highlight the absurdity of the hysterical reaction the world is currently undergoing. I would offer myself up for this.

Besides, if they're wearing their mask, you're obeying store policy, and they're probably shot already- what danger are you really posing? Simply by existing, you are stating to the world "I might have covid". I'd love to see a lawyer get ahold of something like this.

By walking into a place with people and announcing that you have a disease, you are threatening to expose everyone there. This wouldn’t be any less assault than walking into a place and saying “I just sprayed anthrax into the AC.”

Or go into a store unmasked and start telling people that you have covid.

This doesn’t sound like arbitrarily saying “I might have Covid,” or like following store policy of places mandating vax

Most States have a tip line set up. Just saying.

Could go in, fake a phone call and be like - I've got covid? Omg everyone in here might be exposed now!

However I don't recommend ever lieing -
