The big box stores needed to adjust to the number of people flocking to their doors while coughing all over everything waltzing around gawkin’ at shit they don’t need.
Costco did it on their own first all over the country. They limited the number of people that could enter with one membership card.
If the governors didn’t have the presidents lead, they wouldn’t be able to clamp down on the purchase of non essentials in this manner. Just buy them online like everyone else who understands the difference.
What people "need" is not up to you nor the governors. And most online seed retailers have been sold out for weeks. Maybe you could still find GMO Burpee but i doubt it.
Buying locally is better for communities and states. There are options other than simply restricting the sale, which is beyond gubernatorial power regardless! Curbside pickup and delivery are being done all over the country.
The fact is, the amount of seeds in the stores is a tiny fraction of what they have been selling online. Burpee is sold out and is in the process of procuring more. That takes a shit load of sales beyond what is in stores.
I guess they could take the stock back and disseminate those packs, but without a backup there won’t be any left just like toilet paper.
eBay has lots of seeds left, if you’re looking. There are also others selling seeds, but with so many people buying them, there will be a shortage for the newfound demand
That's unbelievable, except she's a Democrat, so that explains it right there. I've come to the conclusion that Democrats are simply trying to destroy... destroy America, destroy societal values, destroy concepts of right & wrong, destroy life, destroy the world. That makes them Satan doesn't it?
Tbf, there's a lot of faggots in Texas. It's already close to being purple. Interestingly enough, it's not because of California transplants. It's the shitty urban areas like parts of San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas that have made it turn to shit. It's a miracle that Cruz beat Beto as that race should have never been close. Florida's the same way.
I moved here from shit hole Oregon three years ago.. Bought a house, pay my taxes and vote Republican. I love Texas and I love Trump. I'm not here to change anything, just embrace it.
Same here. Came from Commiefornia a little while ago and I'm keeping Texas red. Me along with 3 family members and 2 friends. Five MAGA voters in all and that's what's going to keep this state red.
It's a miracle that Cruz beat Beto as that race should have never been close.
Nah, it was only that close because Beto was the focus of the entire Democrat campaign machine during that election. He had everything, unlimited funds, 110% glowing media coverage, dozens of celebrity endorsements, etc. And he still lost. Refer to his failed POTUS campaign to see a better representation of how he'd fare without that support.
Large “big box” retailers must cease in-person sales of non-essential items not listed in the Executive Order, including, but not limited to: arts and crafts, beauty, carpet and flooring, clothing, consumer electronics, entertainment (books, music, movies), furniture, home and garden, jewelry, paint, photo services, sports equipment, toys and the like.
Yes you read that right, it's not illegal to buy clothing in Vermont.
Why? Who knows. They don't want us being independent I guess, or scared for some reason they'll be overbought. Who knows with these authoritarian bastards.
Why not just steal it? If its under $500 they wont do anything. At least in Cali you can steal anything you want and if its under $500 they will not do a damn thing.
This is what I would do. Tell them to call the police if they want. I'm not stealing from you, just buying "non-essential" garden seeds so I can grow my own food. If the police think it's illegal, they can ticket me and we'll settle it in court. In the meantime, my family's not going to starve.
Because we’re not degenerate and those seeds belong to a store owner who’s being bullied by a nanny state govt. I’m sure they’d want to sell you those seeds.
“That’s a non essential part of the store. If we let people buy things there, it’s like we didn’t close a non essential store, so we aren’t doing as much as we can to stop shopping. Only stopping shopping can save us from evil orange man and the stock market. Reeeeeee...”
So: is it time people start talking about the legal limits of all these emergency orders yet? I’m no tinfoil hat guy, but I’d really like to hear when the challenges that have been stacking up are going to start percolating. Denying people the right to grow their own food seems like an oversight. I’m not in her camp whatsoever and there’s 0.1% chance I’m going to run out and start planting crops the second this thing gets fixed, but yeah - it’s time for some reassurance that all these restrictions are going to be ratcheted down asap.
Guess this means I can give a shoutout to MIGardener. He's based in Huron Michigan and runs his own gardening shop. His YouTube channel is pretty good for those who're looking at spinning up their own backyard gardens.
Just so I'm clear, is there an actual ban on seeds in Michigan or is this a picture of one of many aisles in a grocery store whose management has chosen to limit the parts of the store they are allowing access to?
It’s not a management choice. It’s the frickin governor of the state, who has decided a package of prepared food is an “essential” item but a package of seed you can grow it from is “non-essential”. Why? Because she’s a complete idiot who doesn’t know where food comes from.
The market would decide what is essential by price signals deciding what will be put on valuable store space. If nobody is buying clothes because no need to impress people you aren't seeing for weeks, then the clothes will clear out and be replaced with things like food and hand sani and seeds etc.
Leave it up to a democrat to try and micromanage your shopping cart.
Cant oppress citizens when they all have fully loaded freedom dispensers . Also where the fuck is the Michigan militia when you need them ? They ended up being a bunch of yellow bellied cowards
The people who live out on the country and have their own meat and vegetables have weathered this crisis better. Gretchen weiners of whatever her name is should change it to Karen.
W/e. Just steal it. What can they do? It's selling it that's banned. If you steal it, that's not a sale. So that's alright. And I bet they decriminalized that.
That's not what this is about seeds have been declared non essential and shut off along with the electronic aisle.
Of course this still warrants debate, but debate about what actually happened.
Here in corrupt central new jersey I will be tilling the soil of my community garden plot to get it ready for my eggplant and tomato plants i will plant on Mothers day weekend!
Sounds like your governor is trying to kill you all.
No wonder the left wants her to be president.
LAWSUIT
Pants on head retarded.
She has fetal alcohol syndrome. The sexy kind. Not the greta thunberg kind. Gretchen's sister dottie has it real bad.
It's a level of enormous incompetence you only see in left-wing fools.
Oh it's incompetence but that doesn't rule out malicious intent liberals are never pure.
I'd reach over and buy 50 packets just to say fuck you. I doubt Wal-Mart has taken the time to block all those UPCs from ringing up
This right here, folks.
Buy your seeds online. Defy her bullshit.
The title is erroneous. You can grow your own food. In fact, you can “buy your seeds online”.
That's not the point. Its governmental overreach to restrict purchases like this.
The big box stores needed to adjust to the number of people flocking to their doors while coughing all over everything waltzing around gawkin’ at shit they don’t need.
Costco did it on their own first all over the country. They limited the number of people that could enter with one membership card.

I agree with ya to a point.
The fact is, the amount of seeds in the stores is a tiny fraction of what they have been selling online. Burpee is sold out and is in the process of procuring more. That takes a shit load of sales beyond what is in stores.

I would like to know just what the fuck their explanation is for this
That's unbelievable, except she's a Democrat, so that explains it right there. I've come to the conclusion that Democrats are simply trying to destroy... destroy America, destroy societal values, destroy concepts of right & wrong, destroy life, destroy the world. That makes them Satan doesn't it?
And a State fan.
So she has one redeeming quality. Wellllll....
Jail state fan!
It all makes sense if you take into account China and communists have been playing the "bleed or kill America dry" playboy for 4 decades.
they have rejected Jesus and therefore have unknowingly come under the influence of Satan.
I always saw the cat as the reasonable one, it's the Karen that encapsulates her.
“Let them eat cake”
And in Texas they’re getting ready to open up.
We have Grit in Texas and we are losing more people to traffic accidents than the Wuhan Pandemic.
Tbf, there's a lot of faggots in Texas. It's already close to being purple. Interestingly enough, it's not because of California transplants. It's the shitty urban areas like parts of San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas that have made it turn to shit. It's a miracle that Cruz beat Beto as that race should have never been close. Florida's the same way.
It’s really because of the border.
How about all of the above. Border crossings along with liberal shithole transplants to the major Texas cities.
Yes sir
Mostly due to legal immigration. Legal immigrants vote 90% left for life, as do minorities, and we import 1 million legal immigrants per year.
I moved here from shit hole Oregon three years ago.. Bought a house, pay my taxes and vote Republican. I love Texas and I love Trump. I'm not here to change anything, just embrace it.
Same here. Came from Commiefornia a little while ago and I'm keeping Texas red. Me along with 3 family members and 2 friends. Five MAGA voters in all and that's what's going to keep this state red.
Good. Texas Strong. Red, white and blue. Trump 2020.
I've known Texas was full of faggots since the old gunny told me in full metal jacket
You owe me for one jelly donut !
Were u about to call me an asshole?????
If you’re a Texan, you know that gunny is a pussy. Blah, blah, blah.
Nah, it was only that close because Beto was the focus of the entire Democrat campaign machine during that election. He had everything, unlimited funds, 110% glowing media coverage, dozens of celebrity endorsements, etc. And he still lost.

Your comment+Your username=BASED
Not exactly, but it makes for a good headline.
This. Yes.
Strongly agree!
Grab some anyway, go to self checkout.
Or if you're in California just walk out of the store, it's now legal to shoplift up to $1000 per visit!
Checkmate
Jesus Christ, and here I was feeling bad for using two Michaels coupons on two separate transactions.
Welcome to the Jedi!
You can get a ton for $1000
If it’s 50 cents a pound, yeah.
;-)
You can knowingly give someone AIDS too while you’re at it! California really meets our needs.
Or just leave some cash on the counter and walk out. Keep the change as a tip
Vote republican if you don’t want to die
Clearly the governor believes that you can prevent animal cruelty by buying meat from the supermarket, where animals aren't killed for it.
It's funny because it's true. Damn I'm saying that way too much.
Road trip to Indiana!
We can still buy seeds (and plants! I bought 2 trees last week) here in Ohio.
Even though Dewine is a cuck dumbass. IMPEACH. At least he's not as bad as Michigan's half-wit... yet.
Vermont did this too. But they're pretty much Commie territory anyways.
Did what exactly? I don’t even understand what’s going on... did they really ban buying seeds? Why?
Because some shitty states are blocking off "non-essential" aisles to discourage people from being in the store for too long.
They did it in an area near my wal-mart. Luckily ny SM says she considers most of our store essential lol
Vermont banned the sale of anything that's not food or medicine basically:
https://accd.vermont.gov/press-releases/agency-commerce-and-community-development-directs-%E2%80%9Cbig-box%E2%80%9D-retailers-cease-person
Yes you read that right, it's not illegal to buy clothing in Vermont.
BECAUSE THEY HATE FREE AMERICANS. We are the only obstacle in their way.
Why? Who knows. They don't want us being independent I guess, or scared for some reason they'll be overbought. Who knows with these authoritarian bastards.
Why not just steal it? If its under $500 they wont do anything. At least in Cali you can steal anything you want and if its under $500 they will not do a damn thing.
950
Pocket them, go to customer service. Put the equivalent on the counter in cash.
This is what I would do. Tell them to call the police if they want. I'm not stealing from you, just buying "non-essential" garden seeds so I can grow my own food. If the police think it's illegal, they can ticket me and we'll settle it in court. In the meantime, my family's not going to starve.

I agree with you.
DO what you gotta DO to provide for your family - period dot
What remote rationale are they using to justify this action?
“That’s a non essential part of the store. If we let people buy things there, it’s like we didn’t close a non essential store, so we aren’t doing as much as we can to stop shopping. Only stopping shopping can save us from evil orange man and the stock market. Reeeeeee...”
Yeah, I am curious how this fits the objective of flattening the curve
Fear and obey.
That's the rationale of 1 person to millions.
the Michigan Governor is obviously a Dyed in the wool FASCIST.
This might be the red pill Michigan needed: and it's quite tame compared to the murder a full-on communist system would implement against them.
Everything not forbidden is mandatory
So: is it time people start talking about the legal limits of all these emergency orders yet?

I'd leave a 20 on the register. Tell the clerk she can keep the change and just grab 5 bags off the rack.
Nothing was sold technically.

True communism.

Thank you
WTH?! This must be some kind of joke or misunderstanding. Fuggin clown world this isn't funny, just confusing.
No, it’s communism.
ira about control. it's only ever been about control. "never let a crisis go to waste "
Why cant they sell items that are on their shelves?? It's one thing to say "we can't restock" but to say they can't sell it is nonsensical......
The market would decide what is essential by price signals deciding what will be put on valuable store space. If nobody is buying clothes because no need to impress people you aren't seeing for weeks, then the clothes will clear out and be replaced with things like food and hand sani and seeds etc.
Leave it up to a democrat to try and micromanage your shopping cart.
I'd love to see this here.
I'd have fun just trying to buy some. I don't care what you ring it up as, but my family relies on our garden for fresh, pesticide-free veggies.
Can't oppress your citizens if they have full bellies
Cant oppress citizens when they all have fully loaded freedom dispensers . Also where the fuck is the Michigan militia when you need them ? They ended up being a bunch of yellow bellied cowards
Wtf why?
The people who live out on the country and have their own meat and vegetables have weathered this crisis better. Gretchen weiners of whatever her name is should change it to Karen.
Mike Pence’s wife is Karen. You ever wonder where this Karen meme came from?
Happening in the UK too.
It's time to ignore her order. It's an illegal order anyway.
Just take them to the register. If they don't let you but them throw the money down and walk out.
W/e. Just steal it. What can they do? It's selling it that's banned. If you steal it, that's not a sale. So that's alright. And I bet they decriminalized that.
Good luck enforcing that.
Now that I've been flippant I'm prepared to see a video of a swat team taking down an entire family for their illicit carrot crop.
Cuntmore is probably going to be swinging before to Long
Can't you still call and order it online, and they'll bring it out to you?
Come on - this is FOOD.
you want people to just start taking those seeds? thats how you get people just taking those seeds.
Sue, seed providers, sue!
And do it fast. Your growing season is shorter than many and you need to catch up.
They can take my garden after my guns.
Join the protest on the 19th! Make that cunt listen to the voice of the people.
do something about it you fucking cucks
Go to the feed stores. They will have seeds to buy in bulk at a great price. Go to hippie stores too. There is a way.
Why?
Would be encouraging people to do just that if they have land or space to do it.
This bitch needs to go. I hope Biden does pick her, be great if she left office to focus on the campaign. Wishful thinking.
That's not what this is about seeds have been declared non essential and shut off along with the electronic aisle.
Of course this still warrants debate, but debate about what actually happened.
Bitch is evil.
Here in corrupt central new jersey I will be tilling the soil of my community garden plot to get it ready for my eggplant and tomato plants i will plant on Mothers day weekend!
