Are They Kidding?

We sometimes have occasion to visit the new Whole Foods store in our town.

One of the first things we see is a whole bunch of signs reserving parking space for “high occupancy vehicles only.” Defined as a car with four people in it.

Oh, please. How often do you see a car with four people in it? Yeah, okay–if you watch The Beverly Hillbillies reruns, with the four Clampetts in their old jalopy. Maybe the Clampetts are on their way to shop at Whole Foods.

How do they know, by looking at an empty parked car, how many people came to the store in it? They don’t seem to have any sentries. Nobody skulking around to make sure there weren’t only two people in the car.

What they are doing here, of course, is virtue signalling. We’re gonna *Save The Planet* by stuffing extra people into cars! I mean, if we can’t get them to come here on their bikes or trikes or skateboards. That would be even better.

Somebody out there wants us to live like the people in The Hunger Games, who don’t have cars, it’s not allowed, and can’t go anywhere.

The thing about the car is that it gives us independence. We go where we want to go, when we want to go. For some reason the elitists just can’t stand that. Independence and mobility should only be for The Best People. Not us peasants.

Hey, if they enforced their silly rule, we’d never go there at all. How about a store with no customers? That’ll work.

  1. Whole Foods is run by liberals. This is sort of reminds me of replacing plastic straws with paper straws. It doesn’t really do anything but make people feel good about themselves, that’s it. And hey, I thought we were trying to save trees by using plastic? So yea, they want to vilify cars, beef, and plastic straws. I hear New York wants to ban hotdogs now. I’ve said it before, but they will not be satisfied until we are back living in caves and eating bugs and berries to survive.

    1. No, no, you mustn’t eat bugs! You may unwittingly devour a member of an endangered insect species! Besides, according to PETA, killing animals is murder (unless the animal is an unborn or terminally ill human).

  2. Liberals makes me feel like i’m living in an asylum where the inmates are in charge. When the UN Agenda 2030 goes into effect and we’re all forced-coralled, by gunpoint if necessary, to regions in tiny apartments in big high rises, where there’s only one giant supermarket in each region, which Big Supermarket will get the monopoly contract? If it’s Whole Foods, we might expect a sign that reads: “High occupancy shoppers only.” This is to guarantee we all buy the same thing at the same time. Sometimes I let my imagination roam to devilish thoughts about the most ridiculous things, only to read it’s actually happening in somewhere in a democratic utopia. No place, to run or to hide. “It’s alive. It’s alive I tell you!”

    1. Diversity= everybody saying, doing, and thinking the same thing at the same time. You mean like this? Lol – just kidding. I was just wondering what would happen if a conservative and a liberal switched bodies for a day. And at the end of the day, perhaps the conservative would go nuts, but the liberal would double down. Can’t change stupid.
