Yesterday I drove to Millheim to buy a big crescent wrench

to adjust the impression screws and lock nuts on the Chandler & Price Pilot press...

…because Ace Hardware has huge pro-mask propaganda signs outside its Hills Plaza location on South Atherton, and plexiglass nonsense inside.

And I’m done complying, or even being quietly noncompliant and assessing the likelihood of being accosted or assaulted or fined or arrested or seized and sent to an internment camp or the delightful euphemism, “quarantine hotel.”

Canada and Australia have them already.

The only thing standing between Americans and the same is mass noncompliance.

Well, that and our millions of household guns.

It was great at Hosterman & Stover. No signs on the door. No plexiglass at the counter. No stickers on the floor. Some people in masks. Some people barefaced.

So, no more shopping at Ace Hardware, a store I have otherwise loved to support for the last decade.

I also will not spend another penny in any State College Borough businesses until Borough Council repeals its renewed mask mandate, or until businesses start clearly indicating on their outer doors that they “WILL NOT COMPLY” with the illegitimate, unconstitutional, segregationist, discriminatory policies promulgated by Council and will instead welcome all customers: masked and unmasked, vaxxed and unvaxxed, members of the Covidian Cult and members of Team Reality alike.
