The mark of the beast. I have no doubt some churches will ask their followers to get vaxed if they want to attend services or if the churches want money.
This sure feels very close to the mark of the beast if some weren't paying attention to the bible quotes. Remember in the bible they said you weren't and arent be able to buy anything or sell anything without it.
U.S.—The CIA has issued a terror alert warning as radical extremists are reportedly holding their weekly meetings in their underground meeting locations across the country this very moment.
According to the government intelligence agency, the extremists gather, chant together in unison, and then hear a speaker who radicalizes them to live normal, productive lives, take responsibility for their own actions, and love one another. The bizarre cult then sprinkles water on babies (though some splinter groups dunk), and even eats flesh and drinks blood. There are also stale donuts and bad coffee.
"Despite our best efforts to dismantle these organizations, they are still meeting every Sunday," said CIA officer Grant Woodley. "This could undermine all the work we're trying to do to establish a more inclusive, woke new world order. We would just go in and take them down, but there's a loophole in the First Amendment that apparently stops us. We're working on getting that changed, though."

Franklin Graham said that Jesus would take the vaccine if he were here today. I never had had much love for that religious celebrity crowd, but that was way beyond the pale. Had I any respect for him to begin with, I'd have lost it all.

I also realize that the progressive left thinks that most of us flyover folks are too preoccupied with our meager existence to keep track of the paper chasing, like the need for ID to vote, et al.

I realize that the red tape for most things these days is a pain in the posterior. I also realize that the progressive left thinks that most of us flyover folks are too preoccupied with our meager existence to keep track of the paper chasing, like the need for ID to vote, et al. But I manage to do it all the time and have reams of papers and receipts from years back to provide proof of everything for whatever may arise from the red tape monsters. I get out the calculator and count all my beans too, then check the online piggy bank to double check if I'm not certain of my figures. If there is anything I know I can do, or believe I can figure out and do for myself, I do it, or at least try to.
They can stop people from going to "the store" or restaurant, or whatever, but no opportunity goes unexploited. The capitalist system will emerge stronger than ever in a situation where a large population of people are denied goods and services.
The work flow and distribution networks will adjust to fill that void in the market and create new Capone style tycoons who are ready to make bank on a prohibition type situation. They will be the new Robin Hoods for the serfs that suffer the abuses of the tyrant Sheriff of the global Nottingham, so the people they help will be silent and support them with their commerce.
ETA: I wouldn't mind playing the role of Friar Tuck. I'm growing my own hops, making beer and wine and have a still to boot.

Fun fact, 'flyover country' states have been the first in line to roll out mDL and Digital ID which will be used not just for driving privileges but voter registration, law enforcement, taxation and health monitoring.

Discreet inquiries are always encouraged.
I know a guy that knows a guy that reloads and has stock that is probably the only hope during firearm season for 100 miles. I know another guy that's into brewing beer and hops as am I. Time to network and get in on the ground floor.
ETA: There are some legit opportunities that can be capitalized on around here like road side stand for things like bait or firewood and other items that cater to the recreational crowd. Something like that would make a good front to cook the books.

Everything going digital isn't new.
It just makes things more streamlined, especially for an increasing digital society.
I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing.
The only thing I'm against is forced vaccinations, not for it and will hold out as long as possible. Rather contract naturally and probably annually to build up immunity, assuming I survive.
