Worse still, his repeated opposition has only served to embolden his support base to ignore CDC guidelines too, leading to scores of run-ins with law enforcement and videos of their adult tantrums going viral online.

Its a story because these companies are doing something intrusive without asking for permission. You know how when you download an app and get all the prompts on the app accessing your location and/or camera? Its like that except in this case they’re not asking

Boss said he felt compelled to fulfill their drink orders because they were in uniform, even though he said he had sent other patrons away earlier for not wearing masks.

I have an office, but honestly it works better for me to be on the site with the crews, so in practice I office mostly from my truck.
