Their lives have not changed one bit. Most of them are uneducated and do not travel...if they do it is to a campground or hunting camp. Their children are not college educated so they all have stayed in the area, so they see them all of the time. If they have been out of work, they have been making more money on unemployment than their regular jobs. They have their guns, they are racists, and they hate immigrants because he has taught them to. (God knows no self respecting immigrant would want to live here.) They do their one stop shopping at Walmart and refuse to wear their masks. The first time most of them every voted was for the evil imbecile.
The rest of us have been robbed of our lives, but they are as happy as can be with their trump flags flying and trump signs littering their crappy yards. Heaven help us.😭

(816 posts)Washington PA confirmed another 15 cases. May not be a lot compared to other areas of the country but it has been going up at a steady pace. I worry if Gov Wolf doesn't roll back to at least yellow we will see a bad surge. We are not far from Pittsburgh. I worry more and more about his supporters.

(15,092 posts)I cant tell you how many parties Ive seen lately during my evening walksbig Family gatherings with tents, cookouts, birthday parties with lots of kids. Just yesterday, a packed SUV pulled up a couple of houses down and disgorged a teen clutching her to-go box and waving as her friends drove away. A friend who works at the senior center posts photos of herself dining out on Facebook. People here dont think Covid will come here and none of this social distancing stuff applies to them.

(16,849 posts)Grandfather lived on 18 Jackson St. Huge house with a huge yard that had a garden that was the envy of others. People cane to him for his seeds for tomatoes and peppers.
I have a cousin who still lives in the house she was grew up in on Catherine St.

(1,216 posts)Maybe he bought off him in the past. We grew up in grapeville but live in Penn township now

(16,849 posts)He passed away on Thanksgiving Day 1991. He lived in a group home for 5 years before he died. They let him have a garden there as well.
Maybe he did. Grandpap's tomatoes were huge, as were his peppers. They smelled and tasted so good . He would buy crates of old fish from his friend, Luigi, to fertilize his garden with.

(65,180 posts)Yeah, it has been getting more red outside of Pittsburgh. So the rising cases out there arent scaring anyone? That would be too bad.

Freedomofspeech
(4,228 posts)They have been great about it and people comply. The majority of people around here are Walmart shoppers. They are not enforcing the masks. We never set foot in that place...hate everything about it.
