Mises Wire Editors--

The shutdown of the American economy by government decree should end.

Business closures, restrictions on assembly and movement, and quarantines are not constitutionally permissible under some magic “emergency” doctrine.

Due process requirements are not suspended.


End the Shutdown

Be very careful. These guys are connected to some very shady multi-national conglomerates, the kind that pull strings and operate at a much higher level than taking advantage of worldwide pandemics.

Good point.

In my suburb many Asians who came here to escape the religious persecution of the Burma (Myanmar) government, are being blamed for bringing the COVID-19 virus to the city. Enough false social media posts were spread that the city itself had to post on its own social media pages that the rumors were false.

There are a lot of businesses which are dominated by Asians: donut shops, dry cleaners, nail salons, massage therapists. Are they going to be treated like many Muslims were after 9/11, even though they had nothing to do with what happened?

Belief in the power of diversity is a luxury afforded to wealthy areas. When things start to deteriorate, everyone will look at everyone sideways, and skin color is going to matter. It's not good, but it is what it is.

Government cannot decide what aspects of our lives are essential or nonessential. The American people cannot simply sit at home and wait for government checks written on funds that government does not have.

End the shutdown.
