I suspect that in the early stages of any great political purge, the intended victims are tempted to laugh off the ham-handedness of their oppressors. Such is the likely reaction of any sane person to the declaration of new COVID mandates by Chicago mayor and Beetlejuice impersonator Lori Lightfoot.
Said Lightfoot this week with an impressively straight face, “If you’re going into that coffee shop to pick-up and go, you don’t need to show proof. But if you’re gonna linger, you’re gonna eat that muffin, you’re gonna sit down with your laptop, you gotta show proof of vaccination.”
Lightfoot actually specified the time a muffin eater could linger, namely “less than 10 minutes.” Pity the poor barista who has to clock the linger time of the patrons and then presumably call 911 if they linger longer than Lori Lightfoot likes.
