Why are we being ignored. In the downstate Tri-County area I live in we have tons of testing and 1 new case today. We are all losing our businesses.

I own a business. I am opening the day after Memorial Day. There is a downstate plan for about 6 or 7 counties. I will be following that. They will not enforce his shutdown and I have no state license to lose.

That's the key for you. No license. That's Fatman's biggest weapon.

Thank you. i will. I own a dance wear store and all the dance studios are about to go rogue as well. There is a 6 or 7 county region self named the HOI region. The mayors, county officials and health departmets with the help of the huge downstate medical facilities in our area have put together their own reopening plan. Pritzker said he would deny fema help to areas that did not follow his plan. Our plan actually has higher goals to meet than his and we have been well below the level he said we needed to be at to move on for over 2 weeks. We have increased testing and had a total of 1 new case in the whole tri-county area today. We haven't had an additional death in weeks. About 90% of total cases have recovered.

Do not call for federal help when you have zero names on a recall petition

We have thousands. I am also part of a group called "class action suit against the state of illinois and j.b. pritzker." The petition has been circulating for a couple of weeks. Almost have enough names on it.

A lot of us are facing this terrible scenario and I'm truly thankful at this point for all the other difficult things I've been through. Never thought I would reach that point, honestly. I've come to understand better what America really was supposed to be and how we can never take our personal freedoms and responsibilities for granted.

Land of the free, home of the brave. I think it's time to act. Time to protect our freedoms by INSISTING ON THEM. It's a lot easier to say than to do, but if we can't stand up to a bunch of losers like Adam Schiff, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and these fucking idiot governors, how the hell can we look our kids in the eyes and tell them about how great it was when we had freedom of speech, and freedom of religion, and freedom of ASSEMBLY.

What am I going to say? Sorry little Alfredbester, the bureaucrats in the government told us we couldn't have those freedoms anymore so we put on the masks, closed our businesses, and did what we were fucking told. Sorry.

I don't think so.

Open your business. Tell everyone. Challenge everyone.

Home of the brave.

OPEN YOUR BUSINESS!! Please talk to other business owners, walk the blocks call them up and organize a reopening ASAP.

I’m just shocked and disheartened that all most ALL small business owners are just standing by and taking this still at this point.

Who gives a FUCK about losing your license if you’re going to lose your ENTIRE BUSINESS soon anyway!?!?

Is your Representative a republican? I know not all of IL is blue. Maybe try and get a hold of them and tell them what is going on?

Same story in California. At least people are waking up. But I don't see any way to stop these cooks until November.

Our gov is not up for election this fall. Plenty of others are. We have that weird mayor in Chicago. She is a joke so is the rest of the city of Chicago and Cook County office holders. I am in Peoria County. It is run by a bunch of Dems who kiss Chicago ass. They are going to be changing their tune soon...the County and city of Peoria is broke.

The correct answer to 1984 is 1776.

You know I just read an article about George Orwell. He hated Communism although he was a Socialist. The reason is that in order for Communism to succeed objective truth had to be diminished. I then understood that when people on the Left spew their list of terrible things we are; they are spewing political propaganda (something he hated as much as communism) and it is most offensive because we intuitively know it is not objectively true.
He wrote an essay about a boarding school that he was sent to and hated. When I read that part I thought....that's it....that is what makes me so angry about the accusations...that is what I could identify, but not put into words. He said, "I only learned three things there, snobism, sadism and the abiding sense that I was being made to feel guilty about crimes and sins that I don't recall committing. Orwell...moral atheist and socialist....based.

1984 and Animal farm. Dude knew his shit. Socialism still sucks though. I always figured Orwell would be a huge libertarian and Rand Paul fanboy if he were around today.

nwainil [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

Actually Orwell was an atheist and a socialist. He hated Communism and propaganda because both sought to diminish objective truth. He was all about objective truth.

Civil disobedience in mass is likely the only quick solution. Contact the DOJ as well.
