New York is at it again. Bill de Blasio, the Mayor of New York City and one time presidential candidate, is taking his Mayoral duties very seriously. He’s been very active in shutting down business in New York City due to COVID-19, even going so far as to threaten citizens with fines if they are out and about during quarantine.
Mayor de Blasio is now saying that any church or synagogue is conducting a religious service, they are now at risk of fines and closure of business. Tony Katz is asking the right question. How much are you willing to sacrifice?
“The interesting thing about a society of liberty is that it will not so easily be handled the things like a pandemic and the things like authoritarianism… The authoritarian regime can do whatever they want. Liberty is hard. Freedom is tough. During a time of crisis are you willing to give up the liberty?”
