Karl Manke is a barber in Michigan. He’s been running his own barbershop since 1961.
Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer ordered barbershops to close. Her alleged reason was that we had to flatten the curve, so hospitals would not be overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients.
The curve has been flatted. The hospitals have not been overwhelmed.
Despite this, governor Whitmer will still not allow barbershops to open.
Manke applied for unemployment compensation, but was rejected.
In order to pay for food, Manke continues to operate his barbershop.
Governor Whitmer suspended Manke’s professional license and his license for his barbershop, without so much as even a hearing or due process.
Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer is a totalitarian who wants to force Karl Manke to starve to death.
Governor Whitmer’s intent to force Manke to starve to death is so strong that she won’t even let him grow his own food. She has ordered big box stores to prevent customers from having access to certain sections of the store, including gardening supplies.
Hers are the exact words of Governor Whitmer’s order from her official government website. The bolding is mine: (Original, archive)
“For stores of more than 50,000 square feet… Close areas of the store – by cordoning them off, placing signs in aisles, posting prominent signs, removing goods from shelves, or other appropriate means—that are dedicated to the following classes of goods: Carpet or flooring. Furniture. Garden centers and plant nurseries. Paint.”
Only a totalitarian would be in favor of such a government policy.
She would extend the policy to all kulaks.
She doesn’t want “him” to starve; she wants “us” to starve.
Keep this up and Romanian rules are going to apply
My take: She was in the running for Biden’s VP slot and wanted to show she was a strong executive. She blew it big time as her inner Hitler came out. And, now it won’t let her back down.
I’m not from Michigan, so I have to ask those who are. Were there any warning signs, aside from her party affiliation?
This is blatant totalitarianism. IN NO WAY can this be legal. Boogaloo becoming more necessary by the day.
She, that thing running Chicago, and the governor of Virginia are all one bad public speech away from having to run to the helicopter.
Time for mass civil disobedience.
Whitmer is not a good person. Let’s see how this turns out.
“SHe has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance...”
The State seems helpless in stopping her.
It appears that she answers to no one.
She just keeps rolling along, give or take the occasional
‘bump in the road’ to her scorched earth goals.
Past time.
Her fellow progressive AG has her back. It’s just a matter of how long before the people’s back gets up.
“Were there any warning signs, aside from her party affiliation?”
I’m not from Michigan either, but she’s a leftwad and a woman. Isn’t that warning enough?
I moved down from the UP in 06. Semi retirement and flew back and forth to work up there for a fellow logger friend I used to do business with. I quit that a couple years ago.
Anyway, I wont say here what they think of that animal. Its a lot of four letter words and even new invention of words.
She is in trouble and its to late for her to use the election for the people to forget. And do NOT think the Unions will rescue that c%^t. A whole lot of them are sports men and women who hunt and fish and they cant stand that dirty skank.
More..they are certain, and its obvious, that she is in her own little bubble with her skank friends and really thinks she can do no wrong.
Think of the Downfall movie.
What is this with gardens being illegal now?
This woman needs to be removed from office.
I agree that she is a son of a bitch. But she was a son of a bitch before she was elected Governor. In essence, you get the Government you vote for. Elect good people, you get good Government. Elect sons of bitches you get tyranny.
Sounds like the Union of Soviets.
