When I do I have to wear a mask and gloves. We've spent weeks trying to get my wife's unemployment compensation claim filed with no results to date. Someone, sometime, is supposed to mail a me check with Drumpf's name on it. Can't buy toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning wipes. Can't plan a fucking thing for tomorrow, next week or next year. People are dying in droves. Every other word that comes out of my mouth is a profanity.

Somehow four years ago seems better. K&R.

says so also. (And paper towels.) Hope that means it is easing in other parts of the country. Bleach and some cleaning products seems to be still not around.

I picked up the office depot tp as a backup. My wife won't let me go in stores anymore and neither will she so we miss out on what is in stock because we do grocery pickup.

I hope once I get my mask she will let me go to a store!

Immediately knew you had to be from Florida.

Scott did a heck of a job hamstringing and gutting UI in this state, didn't he?

Hell no!! Fear for future started Nov. 2016 and every turn worst fears realized. No feeling of peace and personal well being allowed.

because Trump built a Mexico-wall ( ) and there isn't a black guy in the Oval Office, and also just to "own the libs"

Dyin' to "own the libs," going bankrupt to "own the libs," getting evicted to "own the libs," having everything repo'd to "own the libs," they'll say it is all worth it.

Guy from the course I play at.
Ran into him at the gas station.
After less than 2 minutes, he said "Yeah, Trump fucked this up."
He probably won't vote for Biden, but he might stay home!

Sports were on TV. Movies in the theaters. I could get a haircut. I could go to my gym. I ate out at nice restaurants. I went on vacations overseas.

Today, none of these things are happening. So, no, life today is a dystopian nightmare compared to 4 years ago.
