LA Bars and Restaurants Begin Turning Away Unvaccinated Customers

"In response to growing concerns over the rapidly spreading delta variant of the coronavirus, more and more businesses — particularly local bars — are asking that only fully vaccinated customers come inside. Per L.A. Taco, which has a running list on its site now, places like the Blind Barber, Bar Henry in Echo Park, the Short Stop, and Footsie’s have all decided to ask for proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test before allowing entry to customers. While the decision could mean some customers are turned away (either because they are unvaccinated or because they cannot show proof of their vaccination) precisely when small businesses need them, the decision to only allow vaccinated people inside is being done “in an effort to keep our guests and staff safe,” says the Blind Barber in an Instagram post."

Good.

The sick thing is that the Trumpist base driving all this will only get more and more extreme across all issues. It would've been hard enough for them to say "oops" after all their horrid behavior since the time Obama first got the Dem nomination. But now there are 610k dead Americans thanks to Trump's horrendous mismanagement of COVID, when far fewer would have died under competent management. They've also got the only invasion of the Capitol since the British in 1814 under their belts.

"oops"?

Nah, they're stuck opposing everything Democrats want as violently as possible, even if it does mean getting their ugly idiot selves killed with a disease against which one can be vaccinated.

The Trumpists' Canadian kin have been wreaking havoc on businesses in the Toronto region for daring to seek to protect staff and customers alike in recent days. Details here, beginning with how it started:

And how it's gone:

So, there's that resistance to the Trumpists' Canadian cousins underway, still, apparently...

Ya know, I am so-o glad not to be traveling right now. It has actually been like forever since I've flown in a plane, but I'm still very glad not to be traveling.
