In the netherlands 80% of the people are vaccinated, i don't follow the news so when i arrived at the supermarket there was a sign saying facemasks are mandatory. i went in anyway as i needed food. a few masked people gave me a thumbs up and i wasn't bothered by anyone while shopping. when i went to pay for my stuff i went to an automatic pay desk, usually i stand in line as i try to pay as much with cash money as possible, for i am weary of the future. where we have to pay health insurance according to our shopping habits. (yeah i know, i am slightly paranoid about totalitairism.)

as i went to pay for my stuff, i noticed two young employees discussing weather or not they had to adress me and finally one of them went to get an older women. she asked me if i had a mask and i told her i don't watch the news so i wasn't aware the vaccines didn't do trheir job well enough to protect those that are affraid. she told me i wasn't allowed to pay for my shopping and that i had to leave. i asked her how else i would have to get food and she told me i could have it home delivered and i should get take out for today. i was starting to get upset and i she treathened to get the police involved. i know i should've stayed, but i emptied my basked on the floor and i walked out. i feel so powerless and depressed right now, i don't know how i can deal with this without letting it suck all my energy out. i could start a journal, but i also like to hear how you would deal with this.

we have marches against these regulations, but it feels so useless. the kingdom will do what the kingdom will do. it's infuriating and it breaks my spirit.

if poal is not the place to share these sort of things, i will not post stuff like this again, i do feel slightly better having written this.

yeah, I don't like the idea of using the face shield either. This is all just insanity. At least the idea of mandatory vaccinations seems to be a dead herring in many European countries. You might consider moving to one of the countries that isn't on board with all the social engineering? Unlike Canada/ NZ/ Australia, at least you have a choice like in the USA of going to a different location.

No, My life is here. My family and I have worked really hard to have the life I have now. I must be honest that I have considered it, to buy land in Portugal ( That's a populair move to make amongst the people that disagree with the way things are going), but I fear that this is a global thing. That even the countries that are not participating now, they will have no choice... I don't know, giving up everything.. staying here.. It's all very overwhelming.

(noticed my upvotes give points now?)

I think it's probably because you have reached another point/ comment threshold so your upvotes count now.

What about Hungary or Poland? I don't know if I would trust Portugal for the long term. Also, you wouldn't actually be that far away. It looks like Netherlands to Poland is only 6 hours, that is just one day of driving.

"Only 6 hours".. that mind set is very foreign to me. haha, everything in NL is within a 3 hour train ride, but in all honesty I am collecting all options for a constructive plan. The way it is going now is not sustainable for me. I just heard that after the weekend we will get another lockdown. .
