The governor’s office said, “The state is not forcing anyone to stand in a crowded line..." Welcome to doublespeak. "We're not forcing you to stand in line. You are always free to stay home and starve." Man, I do so HATE Democrats.

Is she trying to cause a open revolt?

Starvation and survival are really powerful motivators.

NM citizens can surround the governor’s mansion and keep the food delivery vehicles out.

12 to start,

“More than 25 essential businesses were shut down as of Monday afternoon, including a number of grocery stores and major retailers.”

Oh don’t worry. It will keep expanding.
