After that, Pritzker will be begging for a federal bailout.

the 2020 election needs to focus on the Dems pro-lockdown and pro-China stances.

who benefits most from lockdowns of the developed world economies?

China.

I am strongly opposed to almost all of these fraudulent lockdown decrees. The reason airport restaurants were also exempted is that passengers, however few there may be, have no other source of sustenance.

“If this is true, people will burn the state down...the only thing left for Democrats to rule will be ashes.”

No they won’t ... the next time he is up for reelection, will will win by just a smaller percentage.

Illinois is hopeless.

Is the legislature all democrat? If the legislature passes these laws and creates this agency, that answers the question where the governor’s authority to act comes from. As these laws regulate fundamental rights guaranteed in the US Constitution, they must be narrowly drawn to pass constitutional scrutiny. What “narrowly drawn” means when an emergency is declared is anyone’s guess. I don’t know the law here, other than the Governor cannot intern Japanese Americans ( or, presumably any other group). See Korematsu v US, overruled in Trump v Hawaii (at least, I think that was the case overruling Korematsu).

There's a super majority in both chambers, plus a Democrat Governor.

In 150 days the fall flu season starts.

Do you really think this nut is going to say...”OK fellows, you are free to do as you please”?

I don’t think so.

There are “for sale” signs everywhere and it is evidently a statewide thing.

Established business are going down. So sad.

My god some of these POS tyrants are drunk on power. They get away with it because most are docile sheep even on our side.

Nope. Breaking news: straight Lori Lightfoot, who makes me nostalgic for the days when Thorazine injections were still in common use.

—**The City of Chicago (other than liquor stores and Walmart) to remain on strict lockdown until no man, woman, or whatever, child, or pet has not died from any cause for five years. Don’t force us to make you force yourselves to make us make you criminals. Because we will! And we will put you all in jail!**

NOBODY knows what's going to happen when so-called "lockdown" orders are relaxed. It's quite a close question.

But we do know: Tucker Carlson on Georgia

Next door in Missouri, our governor has gone on record saying that adults can figure things out for themselves. Tonight I went to pick up some pizzas and was surprised to see people sitting at tables, eating pizza and talking to one another. And yes, they were unmasked—can’t eat pizza with a mask. Now half of the tables were marked off so there was ‘social distancing’ between tables. But it was nice to see some normal again.

“15 days to flatten the curve...”

Oh wait, I meant “150 days...”

Well, there ought to be some info to be gleaned from Florida, Georgia and South Dakota, since they aren’t locked down. I believe Texas has relaxed, too. Should provide some data in that respect.

I spent the last couple days with some old friends from the Apostolic Lutheran community.

We greeted each other with handshakes and hugs.
Sawed and split many cords of firewood.
Delivered some construction stakes to a little country hardware store.
Visited a lumberyard up no’th to pick up some boards for concrete forming.

We had an old fashioned outhouse for the calls of nature.
We got real dirty.
We didn’t have any “sanitizer”.
We ate and enjoyed each other’s company with stories and memories.
We laughed at the world living in fear.
Nobody wore a mask.

It was good to get back to normal.
