Anyone who thinks the State is saving lives with its economic shutdown is sadly mistaken. The State and your health is discussed in this email from an unidentified source:
- When the State tells you it’s safe to go to Home Depot to buy a sponge but dangerous to go and buy a flower, it’s not about your health.
- When the State shuts down millions of private businesses but doesn’t lay off a single government employee, it’s not about your health.
- When the State prevents you from buying cucumber seeds because it’s dangerous, but allows in person lottery ticket sales, it’s not about your health.
- When the State tells you it’s dangerous to go golf alone, fish alone or be in a motor boat alone, but Governors and Mayors can get stage make-up, hair done and go to the gym, it’s not about your health.
