Minnesota grandma jailed for defying Walz COVID lockdown orders warns 'you do not want tyranny at this level'

[rjs330]

Further examples of Walz tyrannical left wing bent is his hot line and the attacking of citizens in their own residences.

He established a hot line where citizens where encouraged to call and squeal on their neighbors. What does that remind you of?

Secondly he issued curfew orders due to the riots. Which I agree with. He finally took some action to try and stop them after letting them rage for days. But then he enforced this curfew on law abiding citizens who weren't involved and were just hanging out on tbier own front porch. The officers shot paintballs at people to make them go inside their house. This happened under his watch.
All of this shows his bent toward tyranny. Neighbors ratting on neighbors?

You don’t have to. There’s no obligation to post in any thread.

They're looking for something - anything, to paint Walz as a tyrannical communist.

Oh, I know why they are recycling this nonsense to target him specifically. The poor, put-upon, non-critical business owner that did the dumb thing that was forbidden and then had to pay a modest price was a whiner then and a whiner now. I have no sympathy for them. This all leads to the same stupid arguments about which businesses were allowed to be (partially) open and which weren't. The sympathy I hear for these violators has nothing to do with what the business is and everything to do with who "shut things down" and the political leanings of the violator.

Fortunately we don’t have to look very hard.

Yeah, Minnesota Grandmothers are coming out of the woodwork right, left and centre.

Only needed one.

The Democratic Party is in lockdown trying to work out how to respond. This could change the face of politics as we know it for years to come. She'll have so many more people patronising her...

We look forward to more examples.

that applies to anyone who will not work not who is deemed UNABLE to work big difference.

Yeah, I get it. It was rough for service industry employees who were unable to work because their industry was essentially shut down due to lack of demand.

Although I will also say that as someone who does receive social seurity though my father was also good with money so we also have some saved I do not EXPECT to live the same standard of living as others do either This is not to say that I do not feel there should not be improvements in the welfare version of social security ( mostly that the max benefit should be based on where someone lives and not a flat amount, but it is to say that I realize that if I am receiving asistance that is not designed to have me living high on the hog.

Given you have low expectations, I guess it'd be OK to go with the "Take the checks away and people will work even for peanuts awfuly quick" approach here, too.

I am talking about once they opened back up and no one wanted to work ( which when they opened up of course varied by state.

The why were there hiring signs EVERYWHERE and places that ( even after the restrictions were lifted only waiting on half their tables.

Was it no one wanting to work or not wanting to work in restaurants? A lot of people were slow to go back to dining in. Few customers means workers depending on tips for income are going to struggle.
