New Mexico governor shuts down grocery stores for two weeks

Hadn't seen this posted yet, think it got lost in all the other election mess.

How is this even close to legal? I'm just floored by the government overreach.

A dozen grocery stores around the state have been forced to close for two weeks because of a public health order issued by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham at a time when the state’s residents are suffering from record high unemployment and food insecurity, critics say.

The order requires businesses with four or more rapid responses of COVID-19 cases reported within in a 14-day period to close for two weeks.

More than 25 essential businesses were shut down as of Monday afternoon, including a number of grocery stores and major retailers.

The closures include two Walmarts in Albuquerque and one in Santa Fe, an Albertson’s in Roswell, a Smiths Food & Drug Center in Albuquerque and New Mexico Food Distribution Center in Albuquerque.

The governor’s office said, “The state is not forcing anyone to stand in a crowded line, as you suggest,” in response to requests for comment from KOB4 News TV.

Um. What? And here I thought in Cali we were getting the ball rolling on food scarcity going into winter by fomenting a shutdown across all outdoor dining and all dining period in/around LA.

Damn you good NM.....

Breadlines might not be far off...

They should get delivery trucks or hire their store employees to act like door dash stay in business and give the gooberment a big middle finger alongside the old fashioned USMC Green Weenie tactics.

How does closing down dining increase food scarcity?

There seems to be a rumble growing louder around food scarcity however, it is starting to have the hallmarks of a psyop in my humble, partially educated opinion.

There is an alarmingly high amount of people who can't cook outside of heating up a hot pocket.

Theres people who would starve without door dash or take outs.

The bread lines will be shut down due to covid.

I believe that it is more around supply and demand. The grocery stores here are by law only allowed to keep like 3 or 5 days of stock on hand. Fewer buyers at a time, less demand during the 3 or 5 days, so the store would order less, and hence the producers would decrease production of stuff that would spoil if not used.

Sorry but that's Darwinism taking effect if you can't feed yourself outside of microwaving some factory produced, garbage amalgamation of corn derivatives and toxic preservatives or ordering and paying for a meal. It is one of, if not the most basic aspect of self preservation.

Surely they can steam some veggies and fry some meat? Not hard.

By the way I am not saying all is normal, nothing to see here about covid restrictions and authoritarian over reaches. Just don't see a need for panic stations about food scarcity and think the introduction of the idea has some nefarious agenda behind it.

I see what you mean however, I don't see how a two-week closure/restriction on grocery stores in one state leads to an overall problem of food scarcity?

This is absolutely bloody insane though, I agree with that.

I must’ve missed the part where they’re building new grocery stores and food markets for the 10M in LA Co.

Maybe that?

a reply to: IAMALLYETALLIAM
I agree, but media is all about emotional impact than any standing issues.

People have been babied for too long living in cities with down the block food sources.

No no. You'll simply need your vaccine voucher, a mask, and socially distance, or be required to line up in accordance to your sectioned off zone.

Weren’t you advocating for lockdowns over this hoax?

What did you think was going to happen?

Good thread. It gives Americans a preview of what will occur if Joe Biden wins this election.

Well I missed the part where there's not enough? First I've heard of it though to be honest I don't stay abreast of commercial developments on the other side of the world.
