Ridgewood NJ, Governor Murphy once again , “Do as I say, not as I do” behavior is not leadership. The constant hypocrisy adds to the public confusion and lack of trust. Clearly we are not “all in this together” .
Thursday was supposed to be the reopen date for indoor dining but according to Governor Phil Murphy It won’t happen. On Tuesday the Governor reversed his decision from June 26th .
“Under our revised plan indoor dining will now be set to resume at a later date, to be determined,” said Murphy, who noted that dining is a sedentary activity. Indoors present too many opportunities in cramped spaces for the virus to breed. “We do not believe it is prudent to proceed,” said the governor. “This virus moves differently indoors than out, which makes it more deadly.We have seen spikes in other states in part due to indoor dining.”
Murphy sounded grim and a little subdued as he delivered the news, wearily referencing weekend scenes of revelers crowding outdoor dining spaces without masks and in defiance of social distancing constraints.
“We have all seen the scenes,” he said. “Certainly, we recognize there are many more establishments who have been responsible. …But other scenes cannot continue and we cannot move forward unless there is complete compliance.” The carelessness of one establishment can undo the good work done, he added.
A reporter asked the governor about whether he had himself dined indoors, which prompted him to nearly rise out of his chair. “Not only have I not eaten indoors, other than in my house… we sat in the driving rain [Saturday night] and I ruined everything in my pockets, including my wallet, which I have cherished for many years.”
Yet the mindless mob will once again do as they are told and re-elect Murphy in 2021 …then complain for 4 years.
Well he is not getting my vote
Dear Governor Murphy,
The elderly needs Vitamin-D, which is best gotten by going outside. My father’s nursing home said that they are NOT allowed to take their residents outside as per your order? Where do you derive that power from? I digress.
How many more elderly are you trying to kill? Is it not enough that you did NOT heed the warnings and forced nursing homes to let the Covid19 infected in. Not only that now you won’t even let the elderly get out in the sun? I guess you are really are trying to be remembered in history.
Your miss-management makes you at a minimum complicit in the high death count in our nursing homes or outright at fault for the high death rate. I gather that not only do you have a disdain for the elderly but for tax payers as well as you are responsible for killing business all across our state with “Your” shut down. This while continuing to tax us for state workers to sit home and get paid. You are a total disgrace and can never restore your name. It appears you are without conscience and shame, or you are just incompetent and slow. I like to give people benefit of doubt, so I will assume the latter. Your descendants are will have to suffer embarrassment for generations to come because of you, unless your qualities are handed down to them.
I pray that you will repent and see the error of your ways and develop some compassion for the elderly that are still alive in the nursing homes, by letting the elderly go outside so they can get their Vitamin-D.
Also that you will have pity on the tax payers, and open the state back up again.
If there is no repentance then perhaps you should be worried about legal consequences of violating the constitution that you swore to uphold. (The 4th Amendment is still in that constitution). You can’t claim that the Constitution is above your pay grade as you said to Tucker Carlson on Fox.
I think it is either long time overdue for you to step down, or to read the constitution and publically repent and ask for mercy.
Sincerely,
Tax Slave
