Honestly, you don’t know shit. And I don’t even think you believe the stuff you’re saying.

The only other explanation is that you’re a child, which is probably also true.

Are you like a paid user to shill bullshit? Or are yo undoing it for free?

My barber, my small town famous bakery and at least one restaurant in town all went out of business.

There is nothing hyperbolic or untruthful about what I said.

I didn’t say that ALL barbers went out of business, or ALL bakeries either.

But mine did. I even posted a link to the stats in Canada for small businesses closing forever due to the governments restrictions.

Grow up

Nope, just governmental incompetence as usual.

No conspiracy needed. Government is simply incompetent. Which is why you shouldn’t have them making decision that effect your life as much as we allowed them to during covid.

But lemmy users just love to put big daddy government in charge of everything they can think of. Idiots

Sometimes I think people purposely miss the point

Are you trying to convince me that small business owners didn’t go out of business due to government shut downs?

And you call me a liar, give me a break

New experimental estimates of monthly business openings and closuresNote show that in April 2020 alone, more than 100,000 employer businesses (13.6% of active employer businesses in February) closed. These business closures contributed to 30% of job losses that month.

If you think government overreach during covid ‘inconvenienced’ people a ‘tiny bit’ you’re crazy.

My wife lost her job 3x, 3 different jobs, all because the government kept shutting down businesses.

Even my barber lost his business, I donated to a go fund me he put up to try to save it, but it wasn’t enough.

Because he stepped out in his own and took the risk of starting his own business (dude had 5 kids and he and his wife both ran the barbershop together) but hadn’t been in business for two years or whatever, the government shut him down and didn’t pay him anything.

He still had to pay rent on the space though, he still had to pay his loans to get the business up and running. I hope he’s recovered somewhat financially from that, but he never returned to that business.

Maybe he killed himself, I sure hope not, but people surely did.

So no, government overreach didn’t ‘inconvenience’ people ‘a little bit’

It hurt a lot of people.

I wasn’t allowed to eat in the food court at the mall with my daughter and we both had ours.

But because I don’t carry my government issued ID with me at all times (I have my vaccination stuff in my iOS wallet and my daughters in a PDF and pay for shit using my watch) the security guards wouldn’t let us sit down to eat.

It was perfectly fine for us to sit on a bench in the mall and eat though. It was perfectly fine for us to stand in line to buy food, too.

Just not good enough to present a vaccination card without a government issued photo ID to sit in the food court. I don’t know how the security guards expected me to have a government issued photo ID for my daughter though, maybe that was just a requirement for people 18+

So ridiculous.

Wasn’t it considered a conspiracy that they would even exist at all?

Or just work a part time gig at McDonald’s for a couple 5 hour shifts a week to supplement your career job.

Makes it pretty appealing to think about flipping some burgers for $20 an hour, $100 a day 2-3 days a week.

Could be an extra $1,000 a month or so for people looking for something to supplement their income.

My right testicle gets VERY SORE sometimes

This is such a short sighted and selfish thing to say.

I had a vasectomy, for many of the reasons stated here (the most important one being so my wife didn’t have to put her own body through any more trauma).

But I had 3 beautiful, healthy and perfect kids first

You should look into the dairy cartel of canada
