There needs to be far more of this.

The lockdowns work because we comply with the dictates given by power hungry demagogues.

They can dictate decrees left and right all day long, but if people don’t go along with them, they are meaningless.

They only have power because we let them have power over us when we comply.

So it’s okay for that 18 wheeler to be going 110 miles an hour on the interstate?
How about 75?
How about 50?
Who decides?

Okay to use 14 gauge wiring for 50 amp circuits?

Should I let power hungry demagogues use a red light to tell I got to stop, and that I can only go when its green?

This is a republic.
The authorities (”power hungry demagogues”) set health and safety rules. Always have.

If you don’t like stopping at red lights, you vote out those who made the rules, and put in those who will change the rules. But you got to get the votes. You don’t make your own rules.

It’s tough for one restaurant here and there to resist the government because it will crush them with legal fees, fines, and take away their business license, etc. It’s happened here in California. I think restaurateurs have to go to the courts in a class action suit and obtain judgments and/or unite and open their restaurants all at the same time. In my humble opinion.
