4. I remember the Blue Laws...

Oct 2024

absolutely everything was closed here in these small Midwest cities. Used to make me frustrated... and that was when, as a teenager with an after school job, I still had things I needed to do. I worked every day after school and on Saturdays. Trying to get running done before Sunday was a real pain in the butt!

But the frustrating yelling wasn't only coming from teenagers like me... the adults were really yelling about it. The cacophony got to be way too much for the politicians. They had businesses talking about all the profits they were losing, people screaming about the lack of time to do their family work, and on the other hand, churches who didn't want to lose butts in pews. Of course, money won out!

Now, if t is installed in the oval office again, you can expect this country to go directly into a theocracy, and the blue laws will be back, I'll wager. Time be damned. Church will be mandated, and if stores are open at all, it will be after the last Catholic mass is said!
