Sad for people whose real name is ‘Karen’, many of whom do not meet the new, unflattering definition/standard of the busybody Karen.

GOOD!!!!

The state doesn't own anyone and that figure of 96% is meaningless.

If ONE person isn't *complying* then it counts as not following guidelines, that may or may not be working anyways.

I’ve had several workers at stores tell me that the masks are uncomfortable and make breathing difficult. I don’t see this mandatory mask-wearing crap lasting long. The employees have it bad enough as it is so just leave them alone.

If they start monitoring our behaviors, I will end up doing what they don’t want me doing. Seems to be a pattern I’ve noticed for the last 55 years.

Now, if they came up with a social report card like the Chinese everybody will fall in line.

Masks can literally kill you while giving maybe 10% protection to those around you assuming your infected and with no benefit to anyone if you are healthy.

I wear a buff around my neck and pull it up over my nose and mouth when making a face to face transaction with a worker wearing a mask as a total courtesy to them for their sacrifice. Don’t wear it in the store for other patrons.

You are correct. It was actually started by black women a few years ago to refer to annoying busybody white female coworkers.

That was some pretty broad claims there with no bullet point indicating what “rules “ were broken.

BTW, Craven Gruesom of Califoolyuh can only keep his schtick up until August 1st.

July 27th is the last day for those crazy minimum wage based bonuses will be paid.

On August 1st the unemployed will go back to their usual maximum $450 a week “Califoolyuh” unemployment

The $600 per week, and extraordinary federal subsidy ends.

Look for Craven to step up to the microphone each week and pretend to manage this crises until mid July.

The federal subsidies of $1,200 for being alive and the bonus for procreating any number of children @ 500 each combined the Windfall of $9,600 spread out over the course of 4 months is he could say in April :

“When you suggest June, July, August, it is unlikely,” he said.

Newsom also said schools could start as early as the end of July or beginning of August due to “learning losses.”

Cuban is the worst excuse for a businessman in existence.

And, at one time, he seemed worth having a seat at the table. Recently, his actions are very childlike and annoying.

And, he is losing his looks ...fast. Never saw anything like it.

But, why “Karen”? Why not some other name?

Because nobody names their kid "Mergatroid" anymore?

More than you’d ever want to know about “Karen”:

This is my favorite example of a “Karen”, who just happens to be named “Caren”:

My next door neighbor had his mom visit yesterday along with a few other family members.

I’m going to do my Karen imitation when I see him today and ask if the police I called ever arrived to break up his dangerous unauthorized party.

His mom lives 50 miles away in another state so I also need to make sure she’s self quarantining for 14 days.

As a Karen, that’s my responsibility.

There is a Karen that shows up at 5am almost EVERY DAY at my local Stop & Shop.
She sits in her Mercedes SUV for almost an hour to be first in line at 6am.
While waiting she is constantly harping on how the store is dirty, some people not wearing masks, floor washer not doing his job right, customers not 6 feet apart etc.
Then she proceeds inside to go off on whatever employee or manager that happens to cross her path.
A REAL mental case.
Hope she gets banned soon..
Oh yea and she looks almost exactly like your photo..a little older though.
