No they are not. Hairdresser way out in the country aren’t even allowed to run their business as mandated by the governor because of social distancing? Give me a break!
To open the state! Why are businesses closed putting people out of work? Why are parks and playgrounds closed? Why are schools closed? The virus is MILD!
Ah, well you're not going to get anyone to do anything in Nebraska. Nebraskans would hand over their guns if push came to shove because it's a passive place.
I'm a former Nebraska resident and volunteered for Campaign for Liberty and the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, as well as was part of my county's GOP central committee for about two years. The amount of saying one thing, then rolling over and doing another thing, was astounding. What is with the surrendering of rights and principles when an authority figure comes asking for them?
Much of my family still lives there, and the unblinking, unquestioning assent to anything a perceived expert or authority says is mind-blowing. And yet all my extended family, my late grandparents, I'm sure even I myself at one point, all view it the same way. Trust the experts. Trust your doctor. Trust, trust, trust.
My parents' ZIP code had an 0.04% infection rate as of yesterday, and yet they and apparently all their contacts on social media and all the local media types were collectively losing their shit that "MANY MIGHT DIE" because a mall that never closed, was going to "reopen". (How do you "reopen" something that never closed anyway?) And now the media is losing their collective shit over meat packing and even so-called "common good" conservatives are saying that the only humane thing is to shut 'em all down until the virus risk is past and we have a vaccine available. Oh, sure, hunger is "common good" now?
I'm not trying to throw shade on good liberty-minded residents of Nebraska. I'm sure there are many. I might still be one myself if life hadn't thrown me a curveball a few years back. But what's going on in what I used to think was a great red state?!
I am a NE native.....best i can say in this deal is.....start it all back up....this is a ridiculous reaction...open the parks, feel free to continue striking fear in everyone all you like, but lets stop being peoples handlers and let them go back to work if they lack fear.
Anyone in Nebraska interested in peacefully assembling at the capital in your vehicle Michigan style?
Omaha and Lincoln are the only metro areas under restrictions.
Good.

What for?

What's your previous account here?
What are your asking about troll?
New account asking about a protest. Just wondering.
Tried asking on reddit but comments were locked and I was kicked out. I figured this group was more willing to stand up for their freedom.

Outlet malls are opening up on the 24th. It’s a good start.
Yeah the owner of it was never forced to close. They did it on their own. So that means nothing.
