I'm pretty sure White Friday was a really bad casting choice for an aborted Robinson Crusoe movie adaptation.

Because it sounds slightly nicer than Fuck Retail Workers Day. What with every day being called Black Friday this season, it is just any other terrible day in retail. You are wrong, the customer is right and management almost always lets the customer have their way no matter how much you tried to stick to the rules and be firm. No matter what you did and how speedily you did it, you need to do it FASTER!Will (universal) Retail even get to being in the Black this year? L.A. & Long Beach Harbors are way backed up with container freighters. It is a sea of merch, a morass of it, even.

Got a booster shot yesterday (originally had the J+J, got a Moderna shot this time). My arm is sore, but otherwise I feel normal.

I went to the Doctors today because my shoulder hurts when I raise my right arm above shoulder level. He said what's wrong. I said, demonstrating, it hurts when I do this. He said don't do it then.

I'm a bit fed up with the Covid restrictions. Being told what you can do or can't do. Whilst the people who tell you what to do, do the opposite. Do anything you wanna do. Game over.

Seriously most people want it to be over and are pissed at those behaving irresponsibly. I think it is crazy that people are still globe hopping, and jamming themselves into football stadiums unmasked, for instance. It will not be over for years, sorry to be a downer. As to particular restrictions, some make more sense than others. I think vaccine passports are a GOOD idea. Let those who are doing the right things return to eating out, live performances etc.

Rioters? Capitol Hill anyone? Remember double/triple jabbed people can still catch covid and pass it on. So vaccine passports are about as much use as wearing a non medical mask. You are right this is not going away so we need to live with it. And get back to treating people with cancer, heart disease and non covid respiratory problems etc. These are much bigger killers than covid ever will be. Not to mention the massive mental health crisis covid restrictions have caused. The vaccine was supposed to be our passport to freedom. Over here most people have have been vaccinated. Those who can't have the jab or won't have it, well that's their business/choice and we should respect that. This madness, project fear and state control needs to end. And encouraging discrimination never ends well.

"So vaccine passports are about as much use as wearing a non medical mask."
Disagree. Masks, even non-medical ones have been proven to reduce transmission. But only if you wear them. Many people don't.
Broadway in NYC has been able to return to live performances BECAUSE of vaccine mandates. So they provide a way back to a degree of normality. Nothing is 100%, you can still get it, but even driving to the theater is more dangerous, than being vaxed and masked. Not including immunocompromised individuals.
Me, I'm still staying home, and always mask, which is state law, fortunately. I am lucky to have this privilege.

There is a lot of misinformation out there. It's now about control and it scares me how compliant we have become. And if anyone speaks out they are called an anti-vaxxer and cancelled or arrested. I think this totalitarianism is a bigger problem than the virus.
