A Heartwarming Story of the Wrong Approach
December 9, 2020
A beloved cafe in Washington State
managed to hold on during Emperor Inslee’s first lockdown decrees, but the owner said she thought this latest lockdown, in the form of yet another unsupported-by-science banning of indoor dining, was a death blow.
Ergo,
The Maltby Café’s devoted customers came to the rescue. They participated in what Baumler called, Miracle on Maltby Street.
Other customers and strangers from across the country have also answered the call, big time. Customer Jim Barger set up a GoFundMe page for the restaurant, raising $123,673.00 to date. Baumler said with these funds she can pay her employees’ health care and retirement funds for the next several months—and maybe get some sleep.
Kudos to those patriots for supporting this beleaguered entrepreneur. But notice that even before COVIDCon, Ms. Baumler was behind the eight-ball because of regulations forcing her to finance “her employees’ health care and retirement…” And so those contributions will succor neither the owner nor the staff of the restaurant; rather, bureaucrats will pocket them for doling out to the serfs.
Wouldn’t it therefore be more sensible and efficacious to ignore Comrade Inslee’s decrees and meet whatever force he employs against free men and women with greater force? As Monnie observed when alerting me to this story, “These lowlifes seem determined to destroy the American middle class and/or ignite widespread civil disobedience or revolution.”
Indeed, they do. When will we defend ourselves against them?
If Not Now, When?
