Who Is Up For a Cheeseburger in Paradise? Anyone?



So what is the new normal gonna look like?  Air travel is down 87%. Hotels, Theme Parks & Tourism? Remain closed, or so anemically stunted, that they will soon falter and collapse. And it is the same for conventions and concerts and professional sports.  Who wants to see the race today?  Taking place before an empty track.  I don't.
 
Meanwhile, restaurants are engaging in their own special kind of politically correct idiocy. They are trying to play the PC "social distancing" game. By installing shower curtains between their tables, or by putting picnic tables outside their restaurants on the sidewalk. Appropriately spaced naturally.
I can hear the conversations now? Honey? Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?
No, sweetheart. Sorry, but it will be raining tonight. So there will not be any place to sit on the patio.

And the worst of it?

Some restaurants are even placing mannequins and blow up dolls at tables. To supposedly enforce "social distancing " I don't know about everyone else? But I will be damned if I will spend my money? Just to go sit among dolls and mannequins. While perusing a disposable menu. With plastic and paper utensils. While wearing a mask and being served by someone in surgical gown, gloves and a mask. Because PPE's? Are going to be the standard.  I wonder how Hooters will pull that off. 😷
As for me? That ain't gonna happen.

And I won't spend my money, just to sit strapped into some partitioned airline seat, while wearing a mask, with plexiglass separating me from anyone in the seat next to me.

Nope. I am not going to be a "Peasant Under Glass" For these people or for any others.

If I have to sit my ass at home and just buy everything on line and have it delivered.

What was it Josephine told Wyatt was her life's dream? To stay in bed and have room service. Well? That's pretty damn close to how life is getting ready to be for many.

Everything about our day to day lives, has been damaged and changed.

Much of which? Will never return and much of which, will never be the same again. Never. Why? Because that is the way it is. People will do what they are told to do and they will by and large accept what they are told to accept. Because that is the way it is. That is the way they have been raised. That is the way they have been educated. That is the way they have been socialized.

And that is why the majority of Americans? Are no different than sheep or lemmings. They will merrily follow the Judas goat? Right off the cliff and never even know why they did it.

<<<<<<------>>>>>>>

As another example? Everything from their herd and flock management, to meat packing and meat processing, has been all but permanently damaged by this crisis in a crisis. These processes and businesses, have all been damaged to the point, where they will not approach the production they once saw, for at best a year or more. If ever.

And then what.

What happens when the much bellowed headlines of the media? Become the reality.

Those of the mainstream media and those leftist democrats in congress? Are all standing on their tippy toes right now. Fingers crossed and wishing and hoping. Waiting and hoping that they will be able to gain political advantage from more American misery.

Its what they do! Because once that happens? They can pretend to be the saviors of the writhing masses. Providing more and more and more "mana" from Heaven. The same way bears paw away and destroy the bee hive, so they can get to the honey. That is the way democrats look at power and wealth. And if they must suffer a few stings by those arrogant bees? Trying to protect their lives and their home? What the hell. Who cares. right.

The end justifies the means. It always does and it always has with liberals.

Meanwhile, the masses just want to go out. They long to just be able to go to the beach, or go to their local parks. While the young and the dumb, can't wait to hump and grind the bar scene again.

The Darwins?  Will sort themselves out.  They always do.

But are we as a nation, ready for the new normal? Are we ready to be ordered back into seclusion? If the virus reappears? You bet we are. .Because we are good little sheep. And we always do what our truthful and trustworthy  shepherds tell us to do.

So get use to the new normal folks. As for me?  I guess I will just hit the drive through.  The next time I want my cheeseburger in paradise.
