So Walmart Corporate in Arkansas is willing to take the hit in sales in order to bring its customers into line with governmental policy? That does stretch my credulity just a bit.

I can see a black market forming already. For a slight additional fee, I, who am anointed, for a small fee will be willing to shop in Wallyworld for you. I would bet it won't take more than a week to see that work around. Also Wallyworld has a large mail order presence. How are they going to screen for that? I can see an even bigger market for counterfeit vaxx cards. Fortunately for all of us, government wonks are mostly brain dead. Look up the COBRA effect in economics. It is a famous unintended consequence of short sighted government intervention.

I did taxes for seven years at a volunteer center that was supposed to be for old folks and for the "poor". Despite a tax code so voluminous that no one has ever read it completely through from start to finish, people lie awake nights figuring out new scams on how to cheat on their taxes. The rich don't have a lock on cheating on taxes, the poor match them scheme for scheme. The only difference is the rich pay somebody to show them how to cheat on their taxes, the poor can't afford a tax lawyer, so they scheme on their own and they are very creative.

Trudeau leads the way in brain dead politicians. One might think the Canuks had enough of the Trudeau clan with the first iteration. And they like to snigger at our politicians.
