A barber in Michigan had his license revoked for daring to reopen without the governor’s permission. Heaven forbid a barber and a scraggly customer dare to voluntarily conduct a business transaction in contravention of Governor Whitmer’s edicts. From Simon Black at sovereignman.com:
Are you ready for this week’s absurdity? Here’s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty, risks to your prosperity… and on occasion, inspiring poetic justice.
Police arrest surfers for standing still on the beach
Like most of the world, Cape Town, South Africa is on lockdown to stop the spread of the virus.
The city does allow residents to walk along the beach during an “exercise window” every morning from 6am to 9am, as if everyone is an incarcerated felon.
But you aren’t allowed to go in the ocean to surf, or to paddleboard.
Surfers have pointed out that while the walkways get crowded, the open ocean has practically limitless space… so it’s clearly a lot easier to maintain social distancing while in the ocean, rather than being packed together on the boardwalk.
Unfortunately government orders are not known for being logical.
To push back, surfers went to the beach and simply stood there with their surfboards and protest signs.
Police came along and told them to keep moving. After all, this was an “exercise window,” not a “stand at the beach window.”
Those who ignored the orders were arrested for standing still when they should have been exercising.
