Gov’t Gone Wild: Michigan Governor Bans In-Store Purchase of Non-Essentials, Like Garden Seeds
Posted by Mary Chastain
Add Michigan, Kentucky and Virginia to the growing list of irrational control tactics.
Recently I documented numerous examples of government overreach during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Did you think that would end? Nope.
Here are some more examples from Michigan, Kentucky, and Virginia.
Michigan Gov. Whitmer Limits In-Store Purchases, Residence-to-Residence Travel
Not to be outdone, the Governor of Michigan has oredered some of the dumbest restrictions like banning people from buying seeds for a garden and gardening supplies.
In a time where people should build gardens and grow their own food that woman in Michigan put an end to it. But we all know the government hates self-reliance.

Whitmer’s extended stay-at-home order includes closure of store areas “dedicated to carpeting flooring, furniture,” and paint. Residents can still buy lottery tickets, though!
So basically just sit in your house and do nothing. This is a great opportunity to spend time outside in your own backyard, learn to grow vegetables, and do some home improvement activities.
I know delivery is slow but order this stuff online. The government cannot stop you from doing this stuff.
Whitmer ticked off residents even more by telling them she restricted residence-to-residence travel except for dire circumstances:
Beginning Saturday morning, previously permitted travel between two Michigan residences will end, including jumping in the car to visit a friend, or even walking across the street to watch TV with a neighbor. Exceptions include purposes such as caring for a relative, an elderly friend or a pet, visiting a nursing home or similar facility, attending a funeral with no more than 10 people, or complying with a court order related to child custody.
“I don’t think that’s right,” said Hal Hughes, 88, a retired manufactured home salesman in Plymouth. “You should be able to visit who you want to visit.”
