Open for business

It came to my attention this week that many local businesses here in my hometown are crying for business.
Doing video’s encouraging people to buy local and shop local.
Most of the time we do buy local such as our farm market and family owed Sparkle Super market.
What’s sad is now all these locals that are crying for business voted for Trump when the economy was in their favor.
I told my brother-in-law this to his face which owns a small greenhouse here.
Furthermore, because our Governor could not make masks mandatory.... I feel if you expect us to come to your business and spend money then the owners should care enough to protect us by only allowing masks to shop inside.
Do ya think they might catch on if everyone in the Oval Office starts wearing one???

This is bad if they're guilting their neighbors into resuming a normal patronage interaction. We won't have to wait long. A week, two weeks? They might be able to hide the stats for two weeks. But by week four, there will be no way to hide it, when there is someone on each street infected with the virus or know someone who is dead from it.
