"Michigan Gov. Whitmer Limits In-Store Purchases, Residence-to-Residence Travel
Not to be outdone, the Governor of Michigan has ordered some of the dumbest restrictions like banning people from buying seeds for a garden and gardening supplies.
In a time where people should build gardens and grow their own food that women in Michigan put an end to it. But we all know the government hates self-reliance.
. . .
"Whitmer’s extended stay-at-home order includes closure of store areas “dedicated to carpeting flooring, furniture,” and paint. Residents can still buy lottery tickets, though!
"So basically just sit in your house and do nothing. This is a great opportunity to spend time outside in your own backyard, learn to grow vegetables, and do some home improvement activities.
"I know delivery is slow but order this stuff online. The government cannot stop you from doing this stuff.
"Whitmer ticked off residents even more by telling them she restricted residence-to-residence travel except for dire circumstances: . . ."
*The Worst Governor in America "One word keeps recurring in online discussions of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s latest orders to fight the state’s raging COVID-19 outbreak: “insanity.” Last week, the first-term Democrat issued an order extending the state’s stay-at-home policy, which had been set to expire April 15, until May 1. Michigan has the third-highest number of coronavirus cases of any state in America, and certainly strong measures are required to get the pandemic under control. But the devil is in the details, and Whitmer’s new order instantly provoked a firestorm of outrage.
"Among the complaints was that Whitmer had prohibited sale of seeds and other garden supplies at a time when vegetable gardens need to be planted. Executive Order 2020-42 is titled, “Temporary requirement to suspend activities that are not necessary to sustain or protect life,” and it is quite specific about which activities are and are “not necessary.” Stores with “more than 50,000 square feet” (e.g., Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot) are ordered to close areas of the store “by cordoning them off, placing signs in aisles, posting prominent signs, removing goods from shelves, or other appropriate means” that sell carpet or flooring, furniture, and “garden centers and plant nurseries.” So if grandma went to Walmart for groceries and hoped to pick up some tomato plants or cucumber seeds while she was there — sorry, grandma! You could get a thousand-dollar fine and 90 days in jail for disobeying Whitmer’s orders." . . .
The Coronavirus Is Exposing Little Tyrants All Over The Country
"Some mayors and governors seem to think their authority is limitless in the face of the pandemic. They need a remedial lesson in the Constitution."
