I am not joking ... against all odds, the pandemic-promoting yobs at Der Rebel have finally launched a "civil rights" initiative I could not be more in favour of. Behold:
I totally support this campaign, since I can't imagine a more obvious way to know which businesses to never, ever, ever, ever, ever patronize again than those that gleefully announce via window stickers or sidewalk signs that they don't give a shit about allowing infectious plague rats into their establishments. I think this is fucking brilliant, since it saves the rest of us the time and effort to figure that out on our own. I think this is a terrific idea, and I will be watching for these indicators in my 'hood.
Good on ya, Rebel ... keep up the fine work.
P.S. Apart from being a screechingly obvious excuse to fundraise from the mentally crippled, the logic behind this idiocy doesn't even make sense. Let's think about this for a minute.
Imagine two restaurants ... say, "CC's Rib Shack" and "Ezra's Bucket o' Ribs." Imagine they're fairly similar in quality and price and so on so that, for the most part, it really doesn't matter which one you patronize. Now imagine Ezra's place suddenly slaps a prominent "We Won't Ask" sticker on the front window. What exactly is going to happen? I'm glad you asked,
Consider first the fully-vaccinated -- they will have a choice in that they're free to eat at either restaurant. But what will they do? Well, logic suggests that if they're vaccinated, they care about their health, and they've done the research, and they're prepared to put in the effort to avoid taking any chances. Let's cut to the chase -- all things being equal, those people are not going to frequent Ezra's House o' COVID, are they? What possible rationale could there be for those folks to, given that choice, choose to patronize a restaurant where the chances of catching COVID are astronomically higher? That would be deranged, so we can safely conclude that the vast majority of the vaccinated would head on over to CC's. Which leaves ...
...the unvaccinated, who apparently want to make some sort of libertarian, he-man statement about how the government is not going to mess with their freedoms and liberties and precious bodily fluids, or whatever. In any event, those people do not have a choice -- their only option is Ezra's House o' Death, which means that -- without question -- Ezra's Rib Emporium will be crammed, wall to wall, with nothing but unvaccinated, virus-spewing, vehicles of disease. So it's not clear what the marketing strategy for Ezra is here -- "Come on in, and own the Libs by catching COVID ... that'll teach that Trudeau guy!" But it gets worse.
Given that Ezra's clientele is predominantly the truly stupid who refuse to get vaccinated, as the general public increasingly gets the jab even if they're not thrilled about it, Ezra's possible clientele will diminish relentlessly. But it doesn't end there.
There is no question that this is the sort of thing that will cost you customers permanently. Even if the proprietor of such an establishment eventually grows a brain cell and realizes what an asinine charade this was, there will be many, many people who will never set foot in that place again.
So, in the end, what is the point? Where is the upside to this level of Ezra-driven stupidity and irresponsibility, other than to line Ezra's pockets even further with more fundraising? The obvious question is, how dumb will you have to be to participate in this ridiculous scam? And when I see the first "We Won't Ask" sticker or sidewalk sign, well, I guess I'll know.
