The media made a big deal about Republican VP candidate Sen. JD Vance ordering doughnuts at a Georgia bakery.
Democratic VP candidate Gov. Tim Walz pounced, claiming he can easily order doughnuts.
Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith also pounced with a photo of her and Walz in front of Daube’s Bakery in Rochester, MN.
Well, Daube’s Bakery closed its last storefront shop in 2020 during Walz’s draconian COVID policies.
The bakery didn’t confirm it closed because of the COVID policies, but it doesn’t look good, you know?
However, I found this comment:
The bakery still does online orders.
Walz implemented some of the worst COVID policies that only loosened up a tad in 2021. From Reason:
And though Walz instructed police to merely issue citations to people caught violating stay-at-home orders—which is still bad enough—he also maintained the right, via executive order, to issue $1,000 fines and send violators to jail for 90 days. His government maintained that private, indoor gatherings should be limited to 10 people. Outdoor gatherings were arbitrarily capped at 25 people. On July 23, 2020, Walz declared a statewide mask mandate for most indoor spaces and even some outdoor spaces.”If we can get a 90 to 95% compliance, which we’ve seen the science shows, we can reduce the infection rates dramatically, which slows that spread and breaks that chain,” Walz said at the time. “This is the way, the cheapest, the most effective way for us to open up our businesses, for us to get our kids back in school, for us to keep our grandparents healthy and for us to get back that life that we all miss so much.”What followed was the implementation of one of the stupidest COVID-19 rules: Diners at restaurants had to wear masks while walking to their table and moving about the establishment but were allowed to go maskless as long as they were eating and drinking.Later, in November and December of 2020, Walz issued and extended orders for restaurants, gyms, and other businesses to shut down. This included outdoor dining service for eating establishments. Over 150 businesses formed the Reopen Minnesota Coalition and urged the governor to relent, but Walz was unmoved.By the spring of 2021, vaccines were widely available for the most at-risk groups, and people who wanted to protect themselves from the risk of severe disease and death were able to exercise that option. It was only at this point that Walz partly relented and allowed widespread reopening; however, he kept capacity limits in place for many businesses.
Walz’s tyranny led to the closure of too many small businesses.
His administration even jailed one grandmother because she had the nerve to reopen her business.
