This is true. As have said before, I generally buy in bulk so am set on things. The only thing that's been a chore to get has been cleaning stuff, paper towels and toilet paper.
Yesterday, I had to drop off something at Fedex and Sam's Club is right next door. I went, waited on line, and got close to what I needed in a very pedestrian 25 minutes. Absent the cops and masks, it would have been close to normal.

These yahoos in Michigan are really protesting against the idea of caution. Their goal seems to be to force everyone to abandon caution. That sort of protest would make no sense, however, so instead they make the state the boogeyman, observing this bizarre fiction that if only the state would allow freedom, all of the people would go back to living exactly as they did a few months ago.
That's only going to happen incrementally, smartly. Cautiously.

The only thing they can be protesting (other than not being able to go to the beauty parlor) is lack of income. We have a service economy that has obviously been crushed. But, sorry human (even moron) life is more important.
