Well as I was catching up on the news, I see that JB Pritzker is now saying how lawmakers need to come together and help the people and small business, wow what a concept. However yesterday when Pritzker was asked about liquor being sold from restaurants when carry out orders were being picked up was allowed, and he said they were getting orders to stop. Now mind you these places normally sell liquor when you dine inside, they have a license. Once again this seems like common sense is in high demand and short supply. No different than allowing Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Deport remain open and sell WHATEVER was in the store. But store that have like lets say only shoes, or combination of clothes and bikes can’t sell anything but bikes if they want to stay open.
Not allowing salons to open for those people, who in many cases are self employed, and rent the chair space, can’t even have one person at a time, oh gee maybe let them run their business SAFELY. Most small business are blessed with common sense, and know how to make it on their own, WITHOUT the government telling them how to do it.
The our mayor said he can’t go against the governor, after that is, the East side of the river said we are going to open. Then I see today he is asking Pritzker to rethink his plans….REALLY, OMG.
Now after my comments, please don’t think i don’t care about people’s safety, I do. I would not want anyone to become sick with this at all. However that being said, I believe that state government, especially in Illinois needs to get out of our way and let us deal with it. Oh but wait, then the power brokers wouldn’t have any control over the people, and I am beginning to believe that is really what a lot of this is all about. Government controlling what we do, how we do it, and when we do it. I hope that I am wrong, but it sure looks that way.
Anyway tomorrow is a new day and we shall see what it brings.
