Michigan’s republican congress voted to not extend the Governor’s powers today. It will now go the State Supreme court. Maybe we’ll open again in August waiting for a court.

why not? has he called off the state fair yet? Just a matter of time I suppose. Meanwhile, every bar/restaurant/grill/supper club we enjoy are in major fucking trouble. If they could have opened tomorrow, they had a chance. 2 more weeks minimum? Lots of doubts

The fact that the Tavern League in WI has gone along with this shit for as long as they have is amazing to me. There is no Tavern League here (or maybe anywhere else in the U.S. for all I know). If Wisconsinites don't go ape shit crazy about not being able to go to the bar, there is no hope for the rest of us.

Our local small town bar/grill opened for 3hrs this afternoon, carry out only. We fed the whole family and will again as many times as possible. They've certainly been good to us, time to return as much as we can.

They've certainly been good to us, time to return as much as we can. Our family very rarely eats out. Maybe once a month plus chick fillet on occasion. I hate spending money to eat out because I like to cook and am pretty good at it and my wife is a fabulous cook too. However, now we are ordering out 3 times a week. There are two restaurants they we really like even though we don’t go there often. We have been ordering from each one once a week and then our second tier places for the third time. It makes me sick that this has went this far and hopefully there are enough people like us ordering to get these places through. People are starting to ignore the shut down, I see more people out everyday. I actually sold a paver this week to a guy that said his crew is working next week no matter what. Cuomo is about to have a revolt on his hands. My county is down to 200 active cases from 600. No talk of opening back up. Suppose to be 5/15 but he is hinting it will be extended. We have been shut down for 40 some days. Still waiting for the magical wave to come ashore.

When my wife and I went on a recent jeep run........we stopped at a place where they do a DAILY Rodeo.....and have bars and a BBQ food setup. Also huge outdoor bar for the Motorcycle crowd.....and a bull riding pen. Kinda a neat place to visit. ANYWAY.....the bar and restaurant was not open (indoors)......but instead sold take out beers in a plastic cup.. You could then sit at the 4 corners of the NUMEROUS outdoor picnic table and at acceptable social distances. I thought that was pretty cool. Maybe some of the bars could do the same in MN now that the temps are warming/? After all.....you gotta eat and drink. .

They are now allowing retail stores to offer "curbside delivery"...cuz we were all hankering to pick up a pair of jeans from Target while not leaving our cars

The business owners of rural MN appear fucked.
My daughter had dance class in the parking lot of her high rent studio tonite. Likely violated fuckface Walz group limits. Kudos to the studio owner. Be better if they just did it inside.

Be better if they just did it inside. I keep waiting for these folks to say "fuck you" to the gooberment and open their doors. I don't know what the fines would be, but I'd think they'd come out ahead. We all played nice for over a month. It's time to stop

I’m seeing posts from many people saying Walz has taken it way too far. It was time to open up. It’s crazy

Let er rip while the sun is shining and we can be outdoors. Sunlight and fresh air are our bodies natural allies in fighting viruses. Have herd immunity by fall should be the goal.
And I want to be able to go camping dammit. And this fall I don't want to have to wear a blaze orange k95, white ones are hard enough to find.

It's time to stop I had a stump grinding guy out yesterday for a quote and he said he just got back to business a week ago. He claimed the fine for a non- critical business running when they aren't supposed to is $25k. I have no idea if that is accurate, but if that's what a lot of small business are being told they may just slowly die out if they think they will get a $25k find for opening early. It's getting nuts and now the critical businesses need a covid plan or you can get fined from OSHA. It's crazy.
