News of the flash shutdown sent shoppers fleeing and screaming in an effort to get out of the building before the doors were locked, videos on social media showed.

GUNTER: A jobs recovery that rests on public sector jobs isn't sustainableI think I’ve finally figured out why more people who work in the public sector were OK with COVID lockdowns and mask mandates than people in the private… Actually it is. Sector doesnt matter whatever the need it drives a cyclical system we the economy That’s what vaccine passports were really about, to show everyone how “dumb” and “reckless” they were if they did not get one. Get it? The fear of non-conformity drove the sheeple to get deadly blood-clotting vaccines and wear oxygen-depriving masks all day long.
