We Switched Gas Stations for this very, very Important Reason.

A few days ago my loving wife @rachinata & I were traveling to St. George Utah. It's only 1.5 Hours north of Las Vegas, Nevada after passing through some of Arizona. We obtained a few pictures on the way back but let's save those for another post. Her brother informed us that we are now "boycotting" Pilot owned gas stationed. Curious as anyone would be I asked: "What makes you not want to shop their anymore?"

Okay. Before I give his answer, you don't even have to be an American to understand how STUPID of a move this was for the business. Now that we have this underlying tone allow me to begin:

• The reason why people weren't shopping there anymore is that Pilot has announced they will.....

NO LONGER BE FLYING THE AMERICAN FLAG

• Because if may "Offend" some AMERICAN citizens or guest.

• • Ummm But Excuse me? Are we not in the land of I don't know the 50 States, United colonies, the United States of Freaking flag lying, pot tokin', gun smokin' Merica? I mean America!? When we hear that it was time to hit the "YEET" on them hoes. For those who don't know I was in the Ameican military service for 6.5 years (And for those justing getting in tune with 2018 lingo like me: "Yeet" is an expression of leaving or throwing away.)
    

Wow-o that is super sad. For goodness sakes planes have an establishing footprint in this country. The business name is Pilot. Fly your country's flag GOD DAMMNIT!?!

Where are we getting this mindset of fear and frighten reactions you may ask? A lot of it has to do with chemical meds/drug. Which I'll touch on in a later post. On that day we found ourselves at the Chevron which was right down the street. Flying the American flag like it was nobody's business. Okay, I can understand if you as a business doesn't want to flag certain flags. I get it. But don't come out telling everyone that the flag could be "offensive" as a backing reason for not doing it. I would have been more comfortable with "We really don't give a fuck anymore, that shit is a hassle to fly." Okay sweet. There are plenty of other places the flag is flying. Some of which are required to be lifted at that. Just don't be an open pussy about things. No one like to see that out-n-about.
