The federal list is just a guideline that defers to local authorities to determine their own list.

The Governor chose to use the federal list, with a few changes expressly stated.

However, as we have seen with the church, he ain't going to do shite, bc he's a pussy.

The order is just a reminder to keep on having respect for everyone and to maintain the cdc’s guidelines. Nothing has changed and no real enforcement.

Flour Mill. If there was no more flour the list of all the things that would not be available is quite extensive and contains many items that people would miss quite badly.
The degradation of people's daily lives would be dramatic.

We don't even own a lawnmower so either the lawn guy comes or we will be living in a jungle. Neither of our immediate neighbors own mowers either.

I don't see why they can't mow. They either work by themselves or with a crew of 1 or two others. No contact with the home owner. The only thing I see happening is a pissed off, nosy neighbor bitching that getting your lawn mowed isn't essential.
