Shopping and the coronavirus... a new experience

I just went shopping today for the first time in Trump’s new America at H.E.B. and I don’t think things are going to be alright based on my experience.


Waiting in line to get into the store two men cut in front of me. When I said something they just pretended I wasn’t there and the monitor responsible for preventing such rudeness just shrugged his shoulders.


Many prices were raised on staples, especially meats; capitalist price-gouging taking advantage of us during these circumstances.


Many items had strict limits posted.


Many people wore masks or gloves often both.


At the checkouts there were little red signs on the floor to assure six foot spacing.


By the time I got out of the store there was a long, long line of people waiting to get in.


Welcome to Trump’s new America.
