Thank you! Sorry for the misunderstanding! LOL.

Love the screen name ... I suspect few folks who never drove in NJ would appreciate it!

Is what it is, my own doing. I would have thought the same!

Happens, I shoot my own foot more than I care to sometimes.

“It wasn’t shut down because of the virus. It was shut down to show the power of the Royalty in Newark.”

Of course; you’re right. EVERYTHING heavy handed over the last two years has been done to show the power of TPTB. They make me sick!

My response was micro — specifically relevant to the post I was replying to.

If only there were more owners like this in NJ, everyone here is STILL in masks.

Here in South Jersey where I am I'd say about 90% of the masks disappeared until omicron fear porn came out, not it's about 50/50 masked versus unmaksed. Almost no places are requiring them, lots like Wawa say please where one but like I said, 50/50 on those who do. Restaurants are all open, no masks.

This guy is being penalized because he defied the government, period. It's a boot on his neck because he stood up and said he was free, not because he did anything wrong, illegal, immoral, or unjust.

Why don’t you just stay home and hide from the virus, and leave the rest of us alone?

Clutch your pearls.

Just stay out of my free state of Florida.

“…I do not answer to public servants – no matter what threats or punishments they impose. I am a free man. I do not ask for permission. I do not ask for forgiveness. You work for us. The only way you’ll ever close these doors is when you close my casket.”

Badass! And spot on.
