Barbers gathered outside the Michigan state capitol this week to give free haircuts in defiance of the state’s stay-at-home restrictions.

Nearly 400 people attended the demonstration on Wednesday. “Operation Haircut” was organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition.

Protesters have accused Governor Gretchen Whitmer of “killing small businesses” and called the restrictions overbearing.

According to Michigan state police, at least three of the barbers were given citations for disorderly conduct.

Your permit fees pay for the pensions of the crooks with their boot on your neck.

Next question!

“why do you need a license to cut hair?”

I believe it is Michigan to give a haircut to anyone outside the immediate family without a license.

In the interest of American industry and ingenuity, barbers across the country will soon be making house calls under the radar.

There are a couple of the girls working at the Great Clips shop I go to that are that foxy. However they are all great people and as soon as my wife’s GI cut grows out some more I’m headed down to the shop. I got the barbers tip tucked away. Didn’t miss it till I couldn’t go get it. Non-essential my aching arse.

It really is time for a good many barbers to say “Screw you and your license.” This pandemic will like bring a groundswell of individual pushback against the machines of tax and spend.

Some states require up to 1500 hours of training to cut hair. No states can EXPLAIN that, though.

Even if you’re not charging for it??

Two consenting adults can’t agree for one to cut a single hair of the other??

That they weren’t charging for it should mean they’re not breaking ‘orders’, no business activity.

Black market... hair cuts.

Only government could create a situation that would give rise to black market HAIR CUTS.

Just more evidence that there is almost nothing on the face of the earth dumber than politicians and government.

1) imagine the snowflakes who see this and will race to their safe spaces for a Tootsie Pop and a fuzzy blanket.

2) Notice the brave and vigilant police contingent. That would have been a good time to rob some jewelry stores (as a similar situation happened on Highway Patrol——Broderick Crawford hanging up his phone. “So it was a diversion all along. ) or to do a home invasion, terrifying and assaulting an old lady or two.

No, have to watch a Whitmer defying “terrorist” barber and customer just in case.

She is VERY attractive.
I wish somebody had told and convinced her that she DID NOT need tats and piercings to attract attention though.
Her good looks are better than any lousy tattoo.
sad...

my opinion anyways..

They do not want to because they will let the proverbial cat out of the bag. Two reasons: revenue and control, not necessarily in that order.

Originally barbers were also minor surgeons. They would bleed people when that was considered a rational medical treatment.
