Did you hear that? You can't just decide to sell groceries in a country built on the idea of free enterprise and entrepreneurship. Oh, and never mind the fact that in recent weeks finding a fully stocked grocery store is like spotting a unicorn.

This is the problem with too much government. People have a need. Other people are stepping up to fill the need. The unelected bureaucrats step in and say no because you didn't get their permission first, as if for reason you should need it.

Well they do have to protect their phony baloney jobs, harrumph, harrumph, harrumph!!

No common sense in this type of regulatory bullshit but what are the people doing about it all beside whining and demanding government protect them.

They'll throw a girl scout in jail for a lemonade stand. '

Selling groceries without a permit will land you in a reeducation camp.

Ummmmm..... grocery stores (licensed ones) have health regulations, do they not?

And what do they mean by "groceries"? Hoarded toilet paper?

But back to the first point, whining about government regulation strikes me as unspeakably ironic during a pandemic that supposedly started in an unregulated grocery market.

Cheeses, think it through.

The restaurant might have been trying to sell the food it had in its coolers and freezers before it went bad, too.
Sounds like our state. The regulations stifle business.

If these restaurants performed abortions in their kitchens they would be praised.

 

[Canon Shooter]

I would imagine that grocery stores and restaurants have different standards for the safe storage of food. I would also think that grocery stores have more strict guidelines, as their food is like to sit longer than that at a grocery store.

Now, I think something should be done to allow them to sell their food in a "grocery" manner, but if my suspicion is even slightly accurate I understand why they're not allowed to...

It would make sense for them to do that sense they are shut down and better than letting it spoil.

A local restaurant started selling the food on hand because they could not open. Our household bought quite a bit. They kept it going by continuing to buy from their vendors. This keeps restaurant supply in business. But no. Someone decreed that the nation must be brought to its belly.

Americans are in for a rude awakening. No doubt about it.

....or if they sheltered Illegal democrat voters

Restaurants have health regulations, do they not? And just because those regulations exist doesn’t necessarily mean they are practical or necessary. The federal government has already cut a ton of red tape to push through a lot of testing and treatment for this virus, which means those regulations were probably never really needed in the first place.

But back to the first point, whining about government regulation strikes me as unspeakably ironic during a pandemic that supposedly started in an unregulated grocery market.

Yeah, in China. Pointing to the most extreme example is a false dichotomy

Cheeses, think it through.

How about you set an example for us all and take your own advice
