The actual reason for most was from people embarrassed to wear facemasks at the grocery store. Otherwise, most people didn’t go out and socialize very often anyway, most people LOVED having an excuse to cancel the big, annoying jumping-castle birthday party.
The right capitalized on this petty whinging and made people feel validated for hating to change their habits in the most minor way and played it up to catastrophic levels to secure a rightward swing in the US.
And it worked fantastically well. This is the generation of apathy and laziness and self-entitlement and the left is equally guilty of succumbing to this long before the pandemic even.
Everyone is stuck up in their own asses because we have a million different comforts that we cling to and will scream and bargain to not have to make changes.
Yeah I work for a flooring distributor. My company labeled us essential so I too work through the whole thing. So did my wife as a dog bather. Guess Petsmart figured they were essential too.
All I heard was people bitching about it and going outside with any excuse they had.
I went out more during covid than I did before it
The trick with being a shut-in is that its only really practical when other people still have to go out and do things on your behalf.
As soon as you can’t get DoorDash or you A/C fails or the office fires you for clinging to “Work From Home” too long, shit gets real really quickly.
I hear people bitching about not being allowed to go outside, even though where I live you were always to go outside

Here people thought they can’t go out to parks or nature even though that was never forbidden. I think American cultural wars played into that
I just worked through the entire thing. Woooo! /s
I’m essential! [Chuckles] I’m in danger!
Essentially fucked. Amirite?

Yeah, we got labeled essential by general Mills even though we hadn’t sold them any equipment in 4 years.
Me too. That’s why I am still salty about it. Just stay home and it can be fixed sooner.
