I heard on the radio a restaurant owner in downstate Illinois opened to a full sit-down crowd, citing his rights as an American. He apparently forgot that restaurants are already subject to lots of rules, and the county health department can pull his health permit. Heck, they regulate how big your sign can be, what hours you can be open, maximum occupancy, whether you can serve liquor (or sprouts or foie gras), whether you can hand out plastic straws. The idea that a business is free to do whatever it wants, free of government regulation, is kind of divorced from reality.
I don't necessarily agree with the way any level of government is handling this, but not because of my rights and freedoms. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Matt Hoppes Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2020 1:53 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com>; Steve Jones <thatoneguyst...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] COVID liability To those saying "why should I have to wear a mask when in public".... do you also complain about "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service"? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
