Curfew restrictions: Is it legal to leave your house?

They rolled out the Ausvajse for the entire US ten days ago, and only now they go and close the border with Canada. Just so everyone knows where America is heading...

dustymarlin10 said:I can see you’re completely missing the point here.

Let me try explaining this one more time—since apparently, we're struggling:

Where exactly is the money coming from to pay university professors?
Did it just spontaneously grow in the middle of the Botanical Garden?

Honestly, I'm worried you don't even grasp the absolute basics of how this works...

It might be worth doing a little homework on what higher education actually costs out West.

...But hey, whatever—I'm sure you didn't shell out nearly as much of your own paycheck for your kids' college tuition as it actually costs to provide it.

The entire border with Canada isn't shut down—just some of the smaller crossings.

Based on an agreement between the US and Canada, starting today, April 2nd at 7 AM, 20 border crossings for local traffic will temporarily close, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA) this Thursday morning.

The affected crossings are: Svilaj, Gejkovac, Pašin potok, Bogovolja, kordunski Ljeskovac, lički Kaldrma, biti brig, Aržano Pazar, Dvorine, cer, Jović most, Sebišina, slivni, Podprolog, Unka, vukov klanac, Imotica, slan, America Dubica, and Gabela polje.

I swear, these permits are going to be the death of me.🙂
I called them up the other day just to get the lowdown, and they basically told me there’s no way I’m getting one.
I’ve got some farmland—enough to keep me busy, anyway—over in the next county, and now they’re telling me I can’t even access it! 😲🤔
It’s absolutely infuriating!🙂
I’m planning on heading down there this Saturday; I’ll see if they finally send me an email. If that doesn't happen, I’m just going to show up in person and look them in the eye. 🙂
We'll see how it goes.

Which means you AREN'T paying William Ribic, because as a union leader, he "funds" himself through the membership dues of his own union—which, in this specific case, is the higher education union.

Sure, sure, in a perfect little textbook world, that’s how it works.

But in the real world? Not even close:

It gets even worse...

I'm dying to know, once they cross the Canadian border, do they get sent straight into a 15-day quarantine?

Even the church gets a pass, so nobody sees an issue with it, year after year... meanwhile, churches abroad pay taxes while ours don't.

The Department of State just announced that Americans who got "stuck" in Italy and Spain—basically the major hotspots for this whole coronavirus mess—as well as folks in Portugal and Sweden, are getting flown back to the States this Saturday on commercial Delta Air Lines flights.

The Department of State is calling these "commercial repatriation flights," and they’re scheduled to head out this Saturday afternoon, April 4th.

There are three specific routes lined up: Washington-Rome-Washington, Washington-Lisbon-Madrid-Washington, and Washington-Stockholm-Washington. If you need to grab a ticket, you can go through the Obzor travel agency, which is a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines.

"Knowing how many Americans are currently caught in these pandemic hotspots, our diplomatic and consular network has been working overtime since this crisis kicked off to find the best ways to get everyone home," the Department of State said. They also added that they're grinding away to get the rest of the Americans who asked for help back to the US as soon as possible.

Yeah, self-isolation is the rule.

On the Canada side of the border, they even have tent cities set up for quarantine.

Jack Collins58 said:Don't sweat it as long as you stay inside the city limits. You can leave Washington, D.C., but only to head back to your legal residence... once you leave, there's no coming back without a pass.

Thanks for the heads-up! I was sweating it a little because the wording on this rule isn't exactly crystal clear. But if I already happened to be staying with family in D.C. during that window, it makes sense that there's less risk of being stuck where I am, regardless of what my official address says (since I’d be there anyway).

Look, you can definitely go there. It's perfectly legal to work land in a different township. If those local bureaucrats are giving you a hard time just to stay in power, stop playing nice and file a complaint with the higher authorities.

1.) We are discussing the funding of labor unions here. The assertion that everyone essentially chips in to fund them holds water, regardless of how many other things we’re being forced to subsidize that perhaps we shouldn't be in the first place.

2.) Although it’s completely irrelevant to the actual discussion regarding union financing—it's just a classic case of moving the goalposts—you should know that there are plenty of critics regarding how the church is funded; it's just that those voices don't get any airtime in the mainstream media.

Since this field is my area of expertise, I was genuinely curious about the mechanics behind this new digital permit rollout. From the moment they went live, I've been closely monitoring how the system handles the load.
Naturally—and this is typical behavior for government bureaucrats—the system failed to function when it actually mattered, though in all honesty, I wasn't expecting much more. If they can manage to get it operational within the next few days, we might actually call that a success. As it stands right now, every time I attempt to submit an application, I am met with this error:

×Request not sent. An unexpected error has occurred.

I have verified that every single piece of data entered is correct. This "unexpected" error is likely nothing unexpected at all; rather, it is the predictable result of some overworked IT staff frantically scrambling to keep the whole thing from collapsing. They simply bit off more than they could chew—it would be a genuine miracle if this had worked on schedule.
Has anyone here actually managed to successfully submit an e-permit yet?

Who? The water department?
I’ve already tried that—and so far, it’s been a total bust.

People only ignore the church's situation if they refuse to look, or perhaps if they just happen to be devout followers of Bozanica. Otherwise, it's actually a massive problem.

I did, logged in as a Citizen around 7:30 this morning.

But trying to log in as an Employer? No chance in hell.

After wasting half an hour fighting with the site, I finally managed to submit mine (mostly by following these instructions,

I was pretty stoked.
Then, out of nowhere, I get an email.
And at the top of the permit, it says: Permit is invalid
Now I’m stuck trying to figure out why.
Am I allowed to swear here? Because I am seriously losing my mind.🙂

We already have a thread for passes, so it’d be smart to keep all the intel in one spot for the people actually looking for answers...

No biggie, it’s just that this whole mess actually started right here on this site...

It took a while to get to the relativization and the whataboutism, I guess.
