I Have A Feeling

I don’t claim to be psychic. But I’m willing to predict the next chapter in the horrible book we are trapped in. It won’t be long before the Governor locks down our border from other states with spikes in COVID-19.

While such a ban would be unenforceable….don’t think that will stop J. B. Pritzker. In fact, he has already said he likes the idea. He likes it because they like it in New York. This guy hasn’t had an original idea in his life.

This week he said he’s listening to advice about locking down Illinois from outsiders. We know he doesn’t have a way of preventing us from escaping. Tens of thousands do each year and never come back. That stream will become a torrent if he gets his new tax law in November.

The Governor said Wednesday he might even ask visitors from spiking red states to quarantine upon arrival in Illinois. Can you imagine having family in from…say Texas…and promptly telling them they have to stay two weeks before returning home? That’s what is under consideration even thought I doubt he has the authority.

I wonder if this new edict, should it be put in place, would also be observed by the first family. I mean, earlier executive orders directing us to not leave the state were totally ignored by the first family as they gallivanted to their various homes around the hemisphere.

You don’t have to be psychic to see the state continuing to meddle in our personal lives for the foreseeable future.
