Drug companies probably would have spent a lot of money fighting a ballot proposition to put their California offices to the torch and to throw their shareholders in the stocks so that the poor could pelt them with rotten fruit, but that wouldn't make voting for it out of spite a good idea.

While it's not the law I'd really want, I guess that would be a decent first step, until something more effective could be passed.

Here in SF I see people shoving stuff in their jackets and walking out of the Taraval Safeway every time I walk in and none of the bare bones staff give a flying gently caress.

I�m honestly surprised the bottom hasn�t fallen out harder in regards to lovely retail jobs.

My gf works at safeway, and she says that security are the only ones allowed to do anything with shoplifters. Anyone else is risking their job over a can of soup if they try to stop product from walking out the door. Everyone knows that there's massive amount of theft at downtown locations. It's part of the reason those stores have higher prices.

Has no one brought up the fact that, uh, they do have names? All the freeways in LA have names. And for decades, that's how they were referred to. I remember the signs changing from prominently displaying "The Golden State Freeway" to mainly showing the I-5 sign.
There's still some signs with the names on them. The Golden State Freeway, The Harbor Freeway, The San Diego Freeway, The Foothill Freeway.

So we were already calling them "the ___", it's just that the nomenclature has changed. I still use the names sometimes too, mainly with family.

Safeway doesn't enforce it, employees aren't allowed to ask customers to wear a mask.

Smaller places are very hit or miss. Either on the nothing/chinstraps and not caring about customers plan, or masked up and wanting customers to wear them also.

The N95 itself will be fine for both COVID-19 and smoke particles. If you have one of those 3M masks with the valve and are wearing the mask to stop the spread of COVID-19, SFFD recommended putting a cloth over the valve/sealing the valve

Valved n95s masks already feel horrible to wear for long periods, I would not recommend sealing the valve off. Covering it with cloth should be fine, and still let some of your moisture out.

Silicone half face respirators are starting to come back in stock. If you want covid and fire protection, get one of those from a name brand (Honeywell, 3M) along with 2 or 4 n99 cartridges. They're significantly more comfortable than disposable n95 masks, and the carts will last for a long time since they're only filtering normal air or smoke.

Also, the looks you get from people while shopping with one are great. Pure fear from maskless boomers never gets old.

How many of y'all have had the dream where you're in a grocery store with narrow aisles or like a crowded shopping mall and you realize you forgot your mask and also no one else is wearing a mask and you're trying to get out of there but you can't really find the exit so you're sort of pulling your hoodie over your mouth and trying to duck out of people's way?

The long term psychological consequences of this pandemic are gonna be brutal.

I wonder if any TV or movie producers are finding that they need to suddenly start reshooting their scenes to have people wearing masks or else it won't feel realistic (or they send the wrong message).

Or we'll start seeing media start off with a title saying "in July 2019".

It's already weird watching movies and shows where people aren't wearing masks and THEY'RE GETTING RIGHT IN EACH OTHERS FACES AND JUST TALKING. WHAT THE gently caress IS WRONG WITH THEM. Oh right, that was normal 6 months ago.

So unlike in years prior, where the last-minute ballots counted in the days following e-say produced a major blue shift, this year we're getting a slight red shift. Trump's percentage has increased from ~33.0% on the night of the election to ~33.5% today. Obviously, the downticket races and propositions are headed in roughly the same direction, so it's basically all just blood and pain at this point. No real hope left for any positive results.

Multiple stores in our mall closed down because they were only staffing 2-3 people a day and one ot more of them tested positive. Why does no one seem to understand these simple facts?

People are becoming more bold with not wearing masks, and after an incident a few weeks ago (where a security guard got threatened for asking someone to wear their mask) no one is willing to ask people to wear them.

But even before Newsom issued the order, local law enforcement vowed to defy it.

It does literally nothing worthwhile to stop or slow COVID*

I'd be inclined to agree with you, but this isn't a sensible health order. It's barely a health order. I can't stress enough how little this does to address the problem. It is a completely, utterly meaningless performative gesture that only highlights Newsom's lack of spine and the fact that our leadership has abandoned us.

So who the gently caress cares if it's enforced? He clearly only gave it in the first place to make himself look better to his side in the horse race. And now any pigs that refuse to enforce it are also just making performative gestures to signal their fascist ingroup. It's all theater. You are wasting your time being upset about it.

My gf is an overnight stocker at a grocery store. The store has been closing at her start time for months and was about to start staying open till 2am, this order kills that idea. So I don't have to worry about her being directly exposed to the public.

Other than that niche, completely loving useless.

I miss going out to eat, but I care more about the health of me and the workers than I care about getting drink refills while eating sushi.
