Yesterday, Louisiana's petty tyrant, John Bel Edwards, ordered a mask mandate for all of Louisiana until further notice. He said, on multiple occasions, that he has been very patient with us.
With covid cases climbing, this seems to be the only course of action that he's willing to take. Of course, he puts the onus on business, to enforce his mandate. As he explained it, the business must insist that every customer wear a mask. IF the customer reuses, the business will ask the customer to leave If the customer refuses to leave, then the customer is trespassing.
He also closed the bars, because, you know, bars are evil dens of iniquity and purveyors of infection.
Truly, all he is doing is pissing people off. Those of us who believe in masks war them. Those who don't believe in masks don't wear them. The governor, who uses the unchecked, raw power of his office to force Louisiana into bending to his will serves no one. The governor's use of his raw, unchecked power to favor one business over another does not serve the economics of the state.
Our petty tyrant says that his newest order, to limit gatherings to 50 people applies to churches, but he does not intend to enforce it on churches. How very merciful of him. Perhaps he should spned some more time reading the First Amendment.
John Bel Edwards is simply a petty tyrant, bending to the will of his liberal overlords. The legislature, to their eternal disgrace, does nothing to hold him in check. They do not represent the people, indeed, they are toady's to power.

John Bell should tread more carefully, and remember the Kingfish.
Ah yes, the Kingfish... Concur on that one!
