    A small business owner who had to close her nonessential business says that she has had several run-ins with police while she tried to make some money.

    The latest incident came while Katherine Hermes was conducting a shop-from-home-style Facebook Live video from her Country Home store in downtown Bernardsville. Hermes and a friend were inside the store – both not wearing masks – showing off the products to viewers who can purchase them online. Police showed up around 9 p.m. on Tuesday.


    If you can't see this as pure fascism, then you are blind to the atrocities happening to small businesses daily! People need to make a living and this person was merely trying to stay a float by selling products online.

    Sounds more like she was in violation of a LOCAL ORDINANCE regarding shopping hours in a Business District.

    If she wants to sell ONLINE she can get herself a website like everyone else does and then there won't be any problem at all.

    To call this an "atrocity" just exposes the DESPERATION of the supporters of the Covidiot-in-Chief.

    Why does she need a website while FB live is a good platform and used by millions of people to sell their wares. She was in her locked place of business with a closed sign where her product is. She was not in public so why do they need mask? She is trying to save her business and you can't find the "atrocity" of an authoritarian government not allow you to make a living? And you're worried about Trump?? Wow! It's people like you that scare the **** out of me!

    First they came for the Communists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist

    Then they came for the Socialists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist

    Then they came for the trade unionists
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist

    Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

    Obviously you don't have any background knowledge behind this story, do you?

    Do you know who had a "summer residence" in Bernardsville, NJ?

    Do you know who owns a golf course in next door Basking Ridge, NJ?

    Do you know the demographics of the area?

    Do you know the median income of the area?

    The answers are Jackie Onasis, your Covidiot-in-Chief, 89% white and the median family income is $130k.

    That is one of the swankiest places in NJ and if you have a shop there it sells only the most expensive brand name luxury items.

    That is where the wealthy elite live and play so this is no hard luck story.

    The shop owner is dealing with the Police Chief because that is how much influence she has and he is walking a fine line trying to uphold the law while this ENTITLED covidiot believes that the law does NOT apply to her.

    Looks like this rightwing FAUX OUTRAGE OP has just crashed and burned!

    It is an atrocity. If we're at the point where the law can dictate working hours, then no business is privately owned, but publicly owned(held by the government). You wanna know what we call that? Marxism. And no, it doesn't work good, anywhere.

    Our response to the virus has shown us how weak and fragile our understanding of government limits actually is.

    If you believe that someone who can afford to have a shop in Bernardsville, NJ is a worker then you should reserve your pity for your own absence of subject matter knowledge.

    No kidding.

    The entire "premise" of the OP has been completely destroyed.

    Wow.

    Working hours have been around far longer than marxism so you are wasting your emotional energy on a non-issue here.

    I don't know what I find funnier, the fact that Phyxius liked your post or the fact that the post itself flew over your head. Yes, working hours has been around longer than Marxism, but guess who set the hours? If you guessed the company in question, congratulations you'd be right!(But then, if you were able to guess that you wouldn't have made this post I'm quoting.)

    The companies set the hours, because it was in the discretion of the company in question. Marxist ideology however, holds that the public trust(via government fiat) owns the companies. In other words, by making laws on how long(or short) a company is open, we move closer to marxism, and further disown an open economy.

    But hey, if it only saves ONE life!

    Your absence of subject matter knowledge is glaringly apparent!

    When corporations set hours of work people, including CHILDREN, were FORCED to work up to 14 hours a day 7 days a week with ZERO time off for any reason whatsoever.

    It was the intervention of government on BEHALF of We the People that ended that EXPLOITATION!

    So when it comes to flying over someone's head it appears that it went over yours at 30,000 feet.

    Some regulations, yes exist to prevent child exploitation(not that such would be a problem today. No, a problem today is whether or not our democratic meisters will allow us to actually work.). But those regulations do not constitute ownership of the means of production, but instead rules governing over the privileges of running a business.

    When one dictates the business operation, especially where there exists no prior public rule or necessity, it is the government seizing ownership. It's Marxism. The Democratic Party has decided to go hard left and is worse than Trump in this election.

    I believe that if the Democrats are victorious, we will continue to lose our civil and human rights as they are no longer 'essential'. So I will vote Republican, to prevent the marxist nightmare from being a reality.

    I don't know, does it cost more than a loaf of bread because we're going to be in that type of situation if we continue to hold ourselves hostage.

    About the only good thing about this lockdown stuff is that people are finally seeing in real time that the political Left definitely embraces authoritarianism. They are ALL about . . . control.
