I honestly feel as though they’re doing everything they can to create as much anarchy and distrust amongst the population. Plus the added side effect of punishing those who dare try and be self reliant.

If you give up the narrative that the virus was the worst thing ever facing our country, then what we did becomes a huge mistake. So they have to hold on and pretend the narrative was correct.

The whole declaring war on your constituents has a really bad look to it

I think it’s that, and they want the federal government (people from other states) to bail them out for their inexcusable spending practices. Which of course doesn’t fix the issue. They still will be spendings at a rate that isn’t sustainable, it’ll mean that they will have to address this issue at a later point. But who has time for facts and accountability?

If there's anything the free market could sort out it's haircuts

Seriously someone will eventually shoot and kill a Democrat that rules like this

I’m shocked it hasn’t already happened

Taking away the ability to earn a living is criminal

We’re in socialism right now!

This has turned to a dinner table standoff between a parent and a 4 year old over broccoli.

I just don't understand this guy. Does he WANT people to get the Covid? The government asked him to do one thing. Stop working. He couldn't even do that. I think they should put him in some sort of camp or something. He clearly can't be trusted and is a menace to society. People like him simply don't realize that the people in the government always knows best. That's why they are in the government in the first place. I would say that I have never, but that would be inaccurate, as I saw someone in Kroger without a mask on Saturday. Not to worry, I called our local crimestoppers tip line, though.

I assume that, in your example, Governor Karen is the 4 year old and the barber is the adult.

The barber's lobby (if it exists) most likely supported licensing in an effort to reduce competition.

Needing a license to cut hair is a perfect example of why lobbyists should be outlawed.


While I understand your sentiment it actually misses the point.

Pigs(lobbyists) go where the food is. If you fill the trough, you'll get pigs.

In this case, the trough isn't full of money, it's full of power.

And you know who gave the govt the power to license such shite? We did. We did because, just like with this virus bull shite, we bought into a "for our own safety" argument.

There's literally no profession the govt licenses where the logic for why the govt must do it doesn't break down if you talk about it for like 10 minutes.

Oh sure, you'll get someone screaming at you about "muh govt protection"...…...but that's just illogical to the point of absurdity.

That isn't legal.

They are breaking the law something the barber did not do.

Governors REALLY hate barbers/stylists. Who knew.

Before you know it, there will be hoards of renegade barbers and stylists roaming the countryside, trimming and coloring everything that moves.
