Dear Costco, Here’s My Membership Card. Stuff it!

Dear Costco, Here’s My Membership Card. Stuff it!

On May 4, retail giant Costco began requiring all employees and customers to wear face masks while inside their stores.

Costco President and CEO Craig Jelinek cited the constantly changing, draconian, and much-contested CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines for the company’s position. Costco and other big corporations that have been deemed “essential businesses” have weathered the shutdown just fine, but millions of small, medium, and large independent businesses are being destroyed, along with millions of jobs and livelihoods. Even worse, many of the biggest proponents of the oppressive China-style lockdowns/crackdowns are now admitting what many of us had warned from the outset of the virus outbreak, that the “cure” may be worse than the disease. The United Nations World Food Program is now warning that, as a result of the economic devastation caused by COVID restriction, many more people are at risk of death from starvation worldwide than from the virus itself.

With these and other horrendous impacts in mind, this writer decided that one small effort that could be undertaken as an individual would be to help initiate an exodus of informed consumers from those businesses that are buying into and promoting the destructive hysteria that is sounding the death knell for human freedom. Thus, in an open letter to Costco, I wrote: “Dear Costco, Here’s My Membership Card. Please Stuff it!... along with your Maoist mandatory facemask policy. Please refund the pro rata portion of my membership dues, along with my Executive Member annual rebate.”
