Responding to more useless advice from the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), major retailers are changing their masking policies. Remember, the CDC once said masks would make no difference until they did; they didn’t, then they did. Well, now they do, but they don’t.
In the interest of distracting us from how crappy Whoever is Running the Biden Administration (WRBA) is running (ruining) the nation, the CDC was likely encouraged (maybe Joe threatened to without some funding) to do another about-face mask.
Just weeks ago, you were told you still needed masks and distancing even after getting The Jab™. Now, the new “science” says the old science was wrong because “enough people are vaccinated.”

Right.
If we look down the memory hole, we’ll find that this was never going to be a thing. People getting Jabbed should expect to get sick (making them (what’s the word, contagious!). That herd immunity was some fascist right-wing insurrection or something.
Nope, the CDC says it’s okay to go maskless – if you got Jabbed.
Major Retailers – see also stupid corporate sheep – have lined up to feed on what the State has ladled up.
Target, Macy’s, CVS, Home Depot, Starbucks, and Best Buy (among others) are dropping mask mandates for customers and associates – if they’ve been vaccinated.
Great news.
How will you know?
Passports are not a real thing, and if you try to pretend they are, I can find a lawyer online today who will sue the crap out of you for violating my rights (fees vary).

In expectation of that, most or all of these businesses also say that face coverings will still be encouraged, even strongly recommended. Some stores like Macy’s and CVS still expect employees to mask up, but lawyers are waiting to help you, too, if you want to rub your boss that way.
Might I suggest a Grok branded “I’ve BeenVaccinated Button instead?” With a small donation of $10.00, we’ll send you three (more if you want to donate more – please include a message that you’d like to take advantage of that offer). Give them as early Christmas in July “stocking” stuffers.
Most people will only see “I’ve Been Vaccinated” in big, bold letters, never realizing that you’re giving the Karen’s a public-health fascism middle-finger.
All that aside, the tide has shifted. The world is starting to let you do what you were already doing but with a bit less hassle.
Less hassle is good, but let’s see what we can do to prevent this crap from happening again (should we call that crappening?).
Yes – Wal-Mart and Trader Joe’s among others are also dropping on the same terms. Add more stores in the comments, please.
