In the latest abuse of authority disguised as actions to fight the coronavirus, Wisconsin’s state government is now mandating its employees to wear masks when attending video conference meetings, even while they are in their own home and even if they are alone inside their own house. The Department of Natural Resources of the state of Wisconsin sent out an email to its employees, reminding them of the order of Gov. Tony Evers to wear masks. On top of that, the message also ordered employees to wear masks when attending a teleconference.

“Also, wear your mask, even if you are home, to participate in a virtual meeting that involves being seen on Zoom or another video conferencing platform—by non-DNR staff. Set the safety example which shows you as a DNR public service employee cares about the safety and health of others,” the order said.

The order does not make any sense. The wearing of masks while attending a teleconference will not have any impact on the spread of the virus. People staying inside their homes no longer need to wear masks.

What it does show is how the Democrats are using the pandemic to abuse their power and compel their constituents to obey their orders, even if those orders don’t make sense. It’s not just Wisconsin that’s doing this right now. Officials in other places, too are making their residents obey unreasonable lockdown orders.

A New Jersey gym owner, for example, had his business license revoked after repeatedly defying the order of the governor to remain in lockdown. It is the aim of the Democrats to drive down the economy of the country with their orders to shut down. They are hoping to use the failing economy against the President in the November elections. In other words, they are willing to see the whole country suffer, and the cities get burned to the ground just so they can gain power and kick the President out of office. They will sacrifice ordinary Americans for some political gain.

The same Democratic leaders are willing to let rioters and looters run loose in their cities because they are doing all of that in the name of Black Lives Matter are the same ones who will penalize business owners who are trying to save what they can of their businesses. They are really out to do the most harm.
