COVID Tyrant Does Happy Dance After Shutting Down Brewery

Perhaps the saddest aspect of the lockdowns necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic is the terrible remorse bureaucrats experience after being forced by duty to sacrifice people to the collective good by shutting down their businesses, often ruining their lives.

Just kidding. If anything has necessitated the lockdowns, it is lust for power, mainly on the part of the Party of Government. As to how broken up our rulers are about the eggs that get smashed to make their authoritarian omelet, readers are referred to the Los Angeles County health inspector who burst into a happy dance after shutting down a brewery just before the Super Bowl:

Bart Avery, one of the owners of Bravery Brewery in Lancaster, Calif., said the inspector visited the brewery at about 11 a.m. on Super Bowl Sunday. She told one of his employees that the brewery was in violation of county guidelines because there was no food truck, and it had to close, he said.

As is often the case, the petty tyrant was wrong.

Avery said the inspector turned out to be incorrect and the establishment had every right to be open. The brewery was only pouring draft beer to go, so– despite her claim– they did not need a food truck to operate.

Later, he viewed security footage and saw the apparatchik’s happy dance.

She had just informed the worker that he could be out of a job, he said. Considering all the pain that these lockdowns inflicted on small business owners, the dance was jarring, he said.

Whatever compelled her to break into a dance, as Avery notes, “the perception really sucks.” So does COVID-19 tyranny in general.

The prominently displayed Old Glory and the sign honoring the late lamented countermoonbat R. Lee Ermey may have affected the inspector’s attitude.
