Her Glorious Majesty Gretchen Whitmer (MAY SHE LIVE FOREVER) has spent the last year reminding her Michigan subjects how stupid they are and chiding them for ignoring her subjective, totalitarian edicts.
One such edict was a health department mandate that no more than six people sit at a table in bars or restaurants.
Well, after Her Royal Highness was caught breaking that rule a few days ago, she quietly removed the restriction so that a group of seven or more no longer has to split into two tables.
A revised gatherings and face mask order, issued by the state health department, no longer includes the six-patrons-per-table provision, effective June 1. Whitmer had announced last week the planned easing of capacity restrictions on June 1 but had not specified if other changes would be coming in the new order, which was released as expected Monday.
Whitmer has declined to say whether the restaurant she visited should be fined for allowing her to violate the order, since other restaurants have been penalized – and some owners jailed – for refusing to obey her.
I'm so happy that Michiganders now have the ability to associate in groups of more than a half dozen. Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin would be so proud!
