When Bill DeJong went to pay his employees at Billy’s Café in Burlington last month, he suffered a gut punch after opening his bank account.

Nearly $8,700 needed for payroll was gone, DeJong told The Dori Monson Show. It was seized by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) over what the agency says are COVID “safety citations.”

Chehalis restaurant that racked up $400,000 in fines over COVID rules to close permanently

Over the past few months, DeJong says, L&I slapped him with more than $367,000 in fines over refusing to adhere to Gov. Inslee’s mask mandates. But the café owner objects to what he calls the state’s “crazy rules,” and says dining at his restaurant is “up to Americans and I am not telling them what to do.”

“I want to make sure we’re clear: When [COVID] first happened, I shut down like everybody else,” DeJong said. “I was worried about the safety of my employees, my customers, my family.”

But after months of following rules that DeJong says were “super confusing – ‘wear your mask when you sit down, but then when you get up, but not when you’re eating’” — he said his crew decided that “Americans will decide what’s best for them and their health,” and they dropped the mask mandate.

“I’m totally fine if people don’t want to come in here,” DeJong said. “You have a choice if you want to come into my café, if you want to get something to go, if you want to get it delivered – or if you want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with us.”

That’s when visits from state L&I officers started at the Skagit County business he’s owned since 2014.

“They wanted to ‘educate me’ – those where their words,” DeJong said.

But the daily fines accumulated from $2,000 to now more than $367,000.

Playing devil’s advocate, Dori asked DeJong if it wouldn’t have just been easier to make dine-in guests wear a mask between the door and the table.

“To the veteran who comes in – who sacrificed a lot more than many of us ever had – to tell him what he can or cannot do, or where he cannot sit, or whether he cannot have a cup of coffee? That is not my café, and that’s not America,” DeJong responded.

“I’m not dumb. I know this is a battle,” he said. “It’s against the state, and it’s not going to be easy, and it’s going to be uphill and it’s going to be tough. … We are willing to fight this battle.”

“We’re getting a ton of support from other people in Skagit County, and even across the nation now,” he added. “My job now is to let people know what’s going on and fight the good fight.”

A document published by the World Health Organisation in 2019 framed the results of these studies in no uncertain terms: “there was no evidence that face masks are effective in reducing transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza”. It’s unsurprising, then, that when the CDC briefed reporters on the pandemic in February of 2020, masking was not even mentioned among the NPIs that might be deployed. The UK government, too, stated early in 2020 that there was no evidence to support masking.

Remember, folks, correlation is not causation. Except when very old and frail (unvaccinated) people die of Covid.

Then it absolutely is.

My kids school district pulled the plug on masks last night. They no longer have to wear them at school. My oldest has set our bin of masks for them by the fireplace... lol. I think the teachers might have a rough day today though, we'll see. It's an easy test to see who has been brainwashed the most. Knowing my town I'd think most kids won't be wearing them or some maybe didn't see the email yet.

There's always a parent(s) that is going to have a problem with this. Fortunately I'm in a fuck the government type town so hopefully it's a "peaceful" transition to no mask at the school.

People have to freakin' sue on this.

Went to Costco yesterday. Everyone was wearing masks. I walked in maskless and did my shopping. The whole time I was there I only saw one other guy without a mask. There was one woman that had her mask on her chin but she pulled it up when she saw me coming

What the fuck is the matter with people?

Same shit in REI and Lucky yesterday.

CA is fooked.

The sheeple resent the fact that they now have a modicum of freedom (wrt to the face rag). In such circumstances, I usually advocate "breath free as your God intended you to. Down with tyanny!"

They need a positive affirmation, given how much BS propaganda they've swallowed. It's like rape victims almost - they're so afraid to engage in normal human interactions that they demonstrate obvious PTSD symptoms.

I feel bad for you guys out there. Not being sarcastic either. Beautiful weather and scenery and you cannot go into a business without a mask? I know some of you don't wear them, but still, can't shop without getting fucking side eye from morons for not wearing one. Why should someone have to live that way?

Go ahead and wear one if you want, but don't force me to. Or my kids now. JB is in hot water here in IL. Yesterday he literally said his executive order for masks in schools is still in effect even though the mandate was legally overturned by a County court NOT in Chicago so he's pissed about it. I believe down state #conservative. A majority of districts then voted to take the masks off due to the ruling and he's now throwing a fucking hissy fit because his power is gone.

I haven't looked at polls, but I personally know one Republican gubernatorial candidate who will be on the primary ballot for the R's here in IL. He will win if nominated and goes up against JB fat fuck. The IL Republican party is a shit show though, so I'm sure they'll be some stupid insider fight to get the nomination. Key is he's black. He would 100% win against JB.

Would be a massive life changer for my family. Regulations for over a decade have fucked us over. I know him well enough to get some things changed and we could get state contracts. 7-8 figures overnight if he gets in office (over time). All above board and for a logical product that would save the state hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 10-15 years. Unions are mother fuckers and have cock blocked us for almost 20 years. It's sad. Not doxxing myself, but it's infrastructure related before anyone asks. That's as far as I'll go.

The "mandate" has been lifted yesterday. You can go into business w/o mask. But morons keep clinging to their comfort blankets.

If these airlines are a private business, they could still require the mask, correct?

All the airline CEOs have come out as anti-mask. It is ButtPlug's doing.

Sure. If they want to go bankrupt.

So, it is within the power of FJB to require masks on Airplanes? Good God almighty, how the hell would he expect to get re-elected? Or any other Dem? I guess I can't really defend too many Reps either cause I sure as hell don't hear them come out and say FJB. Tyranny, it's what's for breakfast. No question about it, the government is way out of control. They have no constitutional right to be doing half the shit they've been doing for over 100 years now.

“We’ve been poring over the data, specifically the opinions of suburban women in swing states, and it’s become clear that masking children has suddenly become completely ineffective for preventing COVID,” said Democratic pollster scientist Bob McNeill. “It’s really a shocking turnaround, as just last week masks were super effective and anyone who disagreed was a murderer. Gosh, science is amazing!” ...

At publishing time, Jen Psaki was decrying Republicans as the party of masking children while her fan club nodded furiously.
