Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said he spoke to local restaurant owners on Wednesday night.

“And their message was very clear…we won’t survive another two weeks,” he explained.

Yet bike stores are essential. To get us to and from nowhere since our jobs are frozen.

Anybody feel like the closures are political?

Just open. You have absolutely nothing to lose. Just be sure to have multiple video streams if the Gestapo arrives with a Swat team

Don’t fuck with the Oz, Jay. Just don’t do it.

You won’t like the rage and fury that will reign down upon you pummeling whatever soul you may have left.

What are they going to do? Other than reopen businesses and send angry emails there’s nothing Spokane can do to Inslee

Can't be too careful. I mean 30 people in Spokane county have died. How would you feel if that was your kid? Somethings are more important than your stupid restaurant. So selfish

7.615 million people in my state, Washington
18,660 confirmed cases, 993 deceased
= 0.2% confirmed cases and 0.013% deceased

I'm gonna go get COVID, I'm feeling lucky.

Open up. Nothing to loose and nothing they can do really. Governors don't make laws. They could face having the bureaucrats pull their business or liquor license because they're pissed but if a lot of businesses do it they won't do jack. Open up!

Of those 993 how many were over 65? 987?

What exactly do you picture this rage and fury looking like?

Political? Not really. But it sure feels like a huge lack of precision. We're well past the point of using a blunt instrument to tackle this thing. Some areas are safer than others. Let them open, and if things go to shit then you at least get some data out of the ordeal.

Nice to eat in a restaurant today! I'm still alive! Amazing isn't it?

Two weeks though mumble mumble

Here in Big Sky Country, nobody is even talking about the DemPanic, er, pandemic. I didn’t realize how big of pussies we are on the Pacific Coast until recently.

It's absolutely political in Washington.

Google some Ozzie videos. The guy is extremely articulate, takes a common sense approach to problem solving and doesn’t tolerate bullshit from either end of the political. He will become a thorn in Inslee’s side and guaranteed his message will resonate.

Presumably he is looking to run for a different elected office at some point in the future. Inslee better hope it’s not governor because Ozzie would wipe the floor with him. Odds are he is angling for a run at Senate or Congress.

Think Trump’s will and giving no fucks but highly intelligent and direct with tact.

Louisiana - the most historically political corrupt state in the country Is reopening after supposedly being COVID central from Mardi Gras.

It’s absolutely political in WA, OR and CA.

Unfortunately Trump is playing politics too by bleeding them out. He’ll swoop in with federal money and the DOJ and troops (if necessary because that scary WSP has been deployed)

To elaborate with a few examples. First, the well-documented fact that Inslee voters in KingCo are largely satisfied. Second, residential building was original prohibited in the first re-open. Then, after their trade group stepped in, they were allowed (how that word offends me) to resume a few days later. I don't think science changed much in two days. Thirdly, the legal logging of restaurant patrons was rescinded a day after the ACLU objected (finally you pricks). Keep in mind both those measures came after several weeks of what we were told was careful planning, and both were reversed after a unified voice with political clout objected.

It’s not political as much as politicians being chicken shits. It’s all about deniability. If the economy tanks, they can blame the virus. If they open it up, and a larger wave hits (not likely at all) they will have to answer questions. They know they have an out for this economic drop, but they take the blunt of the damage if the 1/1000 happens if they reopen. They know they are fucking up the economy, but they are more concerned about their pocket book than anybody else.

Inslee’s voters crave political correctness, social justice, and a government-funded safety net, just in case it turns out they aren’t as special as their parents always told them they were.

That’s what he, and the Seattle leadership deliver, and, for the time being, that’s the majority of the Washington electorate. He’ll be re-elected in a landslide.
