Anon from Seattle

Just went into the barber; sign on window said "mask required."

I've literally never worn a mask, even before Covid, can't breath (haha but true).

But put on a scarf for the sake of the owner.

Told him it was hard for me to wear.

He said, then take it off.

So i did.

Good conversation - turns out that small business owners in Seattle aren't as enthusiastic about the protesting/rioting as the national news would have us think.

He said he keeps the place open for the sake of others who work there, had the cash to keep things going bc he'd set aside money for a rainy day.

Not a fan of the mayor; when i said i'd just signed a recall petition, he was 'thumbs up'.

I've talked to others and most are puzzled, don't understand why the rioters are trying to tear down small businesses.

Suggested to the barber that there are others behind the protesters who put them up to it. New idea for most people here. S L O W redpilling process.

But barber didn't know about 'protesters' now outside the West Police station - if BLM seizes it, then no more 911 center for the entire city. He was concerned, like any sensible person.

Would be very bad if that happens, but might be bad enough to wake up big numbers - that's what is needed. Small business owners are the exceptions not the rule.
