I am a small business owner in Michigan and feel it is time to let us all, whether we own businesses or just "are", to make our own decisions on life, liberty and whether we can socially distance ourselves.
I think most of the unrest and protests we in Michigan are seeing is because we are being treated as if we don't have a brain.
No one wants to get sick or give any virus to anyone else, whether they are 65 or 6, but I am, and I have many friends that are in the over 60 group and are healthy and not sick and want to continue to enjoy life and families WITHOUT being told how to do so. Life in itself is a risk. We all know this. We have (according to the "experts") been told first wash hands no masks necessary; then other way around; stay home.....stay inside....and again, wrong. Don't blame them for trying to figure it all out but I say it is time to let us figure our own lives out.
Let us decide if we want to take the chance of going to the beach or the hair salon or the gym or just go sit at a bar to relax, have a drink (or not) and socialize!
So again, we are not sheep......don't continue to treat us as such. Thanks sooo much to whoever got this whole OpenTheState thing going.....good for you!!
Dimwitmer will contiue the lockdown until small businesses get their act together and all open at once. It will take a mass protest to shut her down. Unfortunately there are too many sheep out there not willing to take a stand. To them i say if they are not willing to fight, they deserve what they get.
Way to many sheep. I continue to fight, push and try to stay positive but I'm saddened to say I think this State is gone for the foreseeable future. Full of scared, obedient fools.
Well said!
I totally agree with all you said!
It is clear to me that the Governor's position towards God and His churches is totally the opposite of reality. One day after President Trump declared churches essential to America, Gov. Whitmer extended the lockdown another three weeks and has refused to allow gatherings in excess of 10 people. Yet, she has allowed abortion clinics, liquor stores and marijuana facilities to be open. The people of Michigan need to gather together to worship God Almighty and hear His word preached. It definitely is not the same doing this on line as it is doing it in person. The scripture tells us clearly not to forsake our assembling together (Hebrews 10:25). If Christians obeyed this command when Nero was emperor, even when he was killing those who do gather together to worship, and the Chinese Christians are imprisoned and tortured for doing so, where is our courage and dedication to the Lord in this situation?
I am very diappointed also with my church which chooses to stay closed because the majority of our parisioners are over 60 and some not so healthy. My response was that people can choose not to attend church service If they don't feel safe doing so. However, those of us who want and need to go to church are being prohibited by the church to do so. Again, personal choice in the United States of America is everything and for the church to bow to tyranny is very sad.
Yes I completely agree!!
Businesses in small towns are opening. Go out of your way to patronize them. Don't wear a mask, show people that you're not afraid. That is something that is truly infectious.
I'm in my 60s, I'm in a much higher risk group than the 20 and 30 somethings I see cowering in fear with diapers on their faces. Diapers are for babies and sheep. I am an American. I hope my actions shame them.
Barvo!
I believe Whitmer doesn't have a plan to re-open. This is why she chooses to keep extending the lockdown. That and the fact that she has a personal vendetta against protestors and the President. Anybody that dares to disagree with her gets a slap in the face. Does she think we are ignorant children? Everyone knows what is best for themselves. If you are afraid...stay home. If you want to live and prosper...get out and be Normal. We are Done! We are over this draconian shutdown to satisfy her own power. She is absolutely clueless and does not care at all about our State. We need to get our state back to work and to prosper again! The curve was flattened 4 weeks ago...now it's time to flatten the Fear! It over!
Yes I totally agree with you!
Long past time to reopen. Gretch isn't gonna be happy til she wrecks our once great state
Let's not LET her wreck our great state😉
