You aren't paying attention.

They still work on Sundays.

The pandemic mandates said everything would be back to full speed by next week, including Sundays. Up until now, they've mostly left us alone on Sundays.

Charles Roberts33 said:It’s actually quite simple to make someone a villain and discredit everything they say—along with anyone else who happens to agree with them. Just take a clip of what was said, chop it up if you can't find something that wasn't even uttered, rearrange the sequence through editing, post it with a slight delay, and play the innocent victim. Now, in this specific case, we’re all having a good laugh at the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of those who have absolutely nothing against working on Sundays. Haha. It's just the typical hypocritical behavior from a crowd that can't even back up their own words with their actions, yet still feels entitled to lecture everyone else in their ignorance.

I’m not saying that’s exactly what’s happening here; maybe the woman in this report really is talking nonsense. Perhaps she’s just one of those people who is vehemently against Sunday work. But I know that whenever I see or read something in the media, I approach it with enough salt to brine a 450-pound tuna. I refuse to draw any conclusions about the people featured in this ABC News segment, but how does it look to you? 🤷

Look, Charles Roberts33, I honestly couldn't care less about the news story or whether that woman goes shopping on a Sunday or not.

It's just funny that she said that while standing in a checkout line.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It's just funny.

We don't need to overanalyze every bit of stupidity, if you catch my drift.

Anyway, I laughed, I shared it here, and that's the end of it. Even if it was staged, it’s still funny.

ruggedjackal46 said:If they had filmed it the day before, they wouldn't just let it pass without labeling it as archival footage. And honestly, I’d assume they would record statements a day early anyway, since there's a pretty good chance most people standing outside a grocery store on a Sunday would be in favor of Sunday shopping hours. Or maybe it really was all shot on Sunday and the woman is just talking nonsense.

If it was shot the day before, no, they won't.

There's basically no way they filmed it a day early. Well, actually, there is, but the odds are incredibly slim. Unless you think there's some local news outlet in the States that spends two whole days filming a two-minute segment about Sunday work hours.

btw, wiredrider9, I watched Darko Waters; I think the Bankers was better, maybe.

Watched Escape from Pretoria last night. It was alright. Since it’s based on a true story, I guess that makes it a bit better right off the bat.

wiredrider9 said:Was she wearing a mask and gloves? (Assuming she's some reporter type)

It's likely 🤣

Anyway, 99.9% of the footage was shot that day. Anything filmed earlier would be labeled as archival footage.

Charles Roberts33 said:You caught it on film, so you'll know, right?

My bad then.

I know someone who caught it on video.

No big deal.

Charles Roberts33 said:Then again, maybe they filmed and edited that little segment on a different day, not today. 🤔

No, it's from today.

I was just watching a segment on ABC about the proposed ban on Sunday retail hours, and this girl says, "I'm totally against working on Sundays; there are plenty of other days to get your shopping done."

And she says all this while standing in line at Target, staring at a cart that’s practically begging to be filled up.🙏

The virus is the scapegoat here. It’s definitely not about how the local Republicans handle their hiring lines. 🙏

And I guess once fifty people catch it, suddenly it's all the citizens' fault. 🤷

🤣🤣

As far as gambling goes, I’ve pretty much only ever messed with roulette.

I saw a headline saying some big-shot CEO basically said, "Eh, we can just do this any other day, doesn't have to be Sunday"

🤣

it just keeps getting better and better, I guess.

Seven new cases reported.

Ugh, I guess Mike once absolutely destroyed me at chess. It was pretty brutal...

Chess is honestly one of those beautiful skills.

The local news keeps saying life is just too much to handle right now. I don't know. Personally, I’d rather just grab a beer and play a couple of games.

To be honest, I don't think I've played a single match in the last two years...

1. implementing electronic and mail-in voting—you know, for the sake of public health and democracy.
2. banning the current President from speaking (for a while)
- mostly for the nation's mental health.

🤣

Anthony Wright30 said:The idea that they should be the ones deciding whether businesses operate on Sundays or not feels completely nonsensical. From the very beginning, it has been apparent that what our leaders are performing is little more than a grand charade—a mere smokescreen for repressive and authoritarian tactics. And it seems the mainstream media has quite willingly assisted them by helping to instill fear within the public.

The media is helping them because the government promised them support.

That meeting between the President and the press is probably more dangerous for America than the pandemic was.

Yesterday in the States, there were another 6,740 new cases reported, but I guess I’m just not seeing any news reports about bodies being hauled away in trucks, nor am I seeing any widespread hysteria.

🤷

Noah Perez2 said:I am curious as to what sort of mental gymnastics led you to conclude from my post that I intended to prohibit his Sunday labor. In fact, I explicitly stated that I called him on a Sunday specifically to encourage him to get back to work.

☕

because you said they were all "hard workers."

If I misunderstood, my bad.

Glad to see you're pro-Sunday shifts. 👍

Amanda Evans2 said:Maybe if you actually embraced some private sector principles for once, you’d finally have some peace and quiet...

I was planning to drop off some passport paperwork this Sunday, but I can't.

Damn. I’m supposed to fly out on Tuesday.

I definitely wasn't feeling calm about it.
