Reason rag is also pro open borders which is one of the reasons this.
1. Propagated so quickly
2. Led to shortages due to dependency on China
3. Is being used as a tool by erdogan against Europe
Reason ragazine can go suck eggs.

Correct. Apparently, a ‘health director’ I had no hand in electing - or even being able to vote for - has absolute power in all things whether they relate to health or not.
Is there something in the article you disagree with?
Yet on this matter Reason is right. You can't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Powers the government assumes during a war or crisis are never relinquished.
Thanks for the link.
Hey the other day I posted a thread saying “You have a RIGHT to peacefully assemble”.
There were a few diehard patriots who stood by me, but most folks (about 80%) said that I was wrong, that public safety required quarantine, etc. etc. etc.
Nobody questioned about governors or Presidents being able to shut us in.
The originators / propagators will be ruinous to your life. liberty, FAMILY and pursuit of happiness. WHO let the germs out...CONgre$$, UN, L4 “scientists”, 5 eyes, “intelligence” agencies, foreign enemies, domestic enemies, propagandists, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller? Crickets. There was more traceability, chain-of-custody safeguards inside the automotive lab I worked in years ago.

No, the are correct, but they better learn from this that open borders is not equivalent to internal liberty.
Yes, but I can scold the petulent child sitting in the filthy bathwater.
‘Yes, but I can scold the petulent child sitting in the filthy bathwater.’
uh, yeah, sure; whatever...
When I first heard about restrictions on assembly, I thought “Forget about going to church...” and then I thought No, they won’t do that.
It was at that time gatherings of people over 250.
Then, yesterday Inslee actually said no meetings more than 50 people and he INCLUDED worship services.
So I was wrong... they did it anyways.
I do not go to church. But the ability and preference for church is something I strongly support.
I am against our government giving out money to people when many dont need the money. I think a crisis like this is a good time to let families build bonds again of helping one another first. Im talking extended families.
I also think Churches could step in and help in their community. It was during the LBJ years that churches stopped being revelant to the poor and needy. The government became the caretaker instead of family and the local churches...we need to return to small people helping people.
Christian people in small communities were the pier group at one time in America. Letting it slide to movie stars and sport icons was a big hurt to our way of life.
Bmk for later...
Spreading infectious diseases does not meet my definition of peaceful assembly, and I would suggest you stop trying to label those who agree that public health is a legitimate function of government as unpatriotic.
