. Until your AC goes out in the middle of august.
Or your fridge with all your food bites the dust.

It's essential if you depend on it for a living.

We were all created equally in God’s eyes. Everyone is essential and should be allowed to work



Yes, concession stand workers at Wrigley should report to duty.

I work in electronic manufacturing for the D.O.D

Unless you dont want our troops to have any guided bombs, night vision goggles, or communication equipment.. then we are essential.

Curious what you’ll do if your AC breaks, your main breaker to your house fails, your waterline to your house ruptures, your sewerage line gets clogged between your house and the main sewer line. Since none of those fall under your essentials.

Nope. My house is practically sterilized and you know she’s getting a temp laser to the dome prior to getting anywhere close.

The one on Old Jefferson in front of Griffin Lawn Care constantly has people bunched up in line and I have personally seen their daughter (no pic) sitting on the counter that they put your snowball on and where you order from, when I pass by.

I like beer and liquor as much as anyone, but no one could ever convince me that booze is essential while hair salons are not.

Courts are closed. Schools are closed. Churches are closed. Malls are closed. Movie theaters are closed. Sporting events are not happening. Hair Salons are closed. Spas are closed. Dental offices are not doing cleanings. Casinos are closed. Bars are closed. Gyms are closed.

I'm sure there are many businesses that remain open because they can move online, or modify their service. But to think that all businesses can keep going seems like a stretch.

That is a massive amount of money that is not being pumped back into our economy.

People are very short-sighted about the domino effect.
