The federal government doesn’t unilaterally decide who can do business. They can’t just take away your ability to do business. The federal government isn’t an all knowing being, and that’s why we have negative rights against the government.

I mean they can.

Lockdowns were constitutional according to the judges in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

If the supreme court had 2 more liberals, I can almost be confident that lockdowns would be considered constitutional.

Government can grant rights. Constitutional amendments wouldn't exist if federal governments couldn't give or take away rights. If 2/3 of the senate and house agree, a constitutional amendment could pass banning guns for example.

Do you even have the slightest understanding of free market principles? frick, it’s like I’m talking to AOC

Government granting rights has nothing to do with the free market or not. First of all, no markets are free as government regulates the market. Secondly, this regulation means that government lets you do things.

Legislation wouldn't exist if government didn't 'let you do things.' Regulation means that government 'lets you do stuff' - the government could regulate that stock buybacks are illegal tomorrow. That's an example of government restriction.

TLDR: Government regulates what you can do. If markets were truly free, there would be no regulations. Therefore, government absolutely controls your rights.
