I'm sorry to confuse you. The point of government is to work FOR the people, not control the people through excessive mandates.
There is a difference between providing a police force that insures that laws are followed and protects the law abiding citizens in a community and using the police to fine and arrest citizens for daring to open their private businesses or have one too many family members at their Thanksgiving gathering. Government mandates have absolutely hurt this country. You are just lucky to live in a state where sanity has ruled.
Florida got it right. Many states DID NOT.
