This is total garbage. A complete lie. The seed/garden ban was in effect well into April. In fact, the order wasn't even *issued* until early April. This is also known as "planting season."
MICHIGAN GOV. WHITMER ON COVID LOCKDOWNS: "We had to make some decisions that in retrospect don't make a lot of sense, right? [...] We didn't want people, you know, all congregating around the gardening supplies. [...] It was February in Michigan, no one was planting anyway..."

: Media focusing too much on the pricetag of Dems’ $3.5T bill: “The bill itself will not cost $3.5T in the sense it will be entirely, or at least partly, paid for. So the actual cost will be smaller than that, perhaps zero, although I think that’s unlikely"
