That’s not the point is it? The point is, the authoritarian Governor is deciding what can and can’t be open, and what can and can’t be sold.
That's not a point you made early on. Now that you have made it...have that discussion.

Not all states permit liquor sales in grocery stores or limit what types of liquor a store to sell, so yes liquor stores would be deemed essential since they would offer a product they can't get elsewhere

Sure it is, at that’s what the cartoon depicts.

Hair salons offer a service that isn’t available anywhere else, but they aren’t allowed to be open. You guys are chasing rabbits with this,” alcohol is essential crap. No, it’s not.

quote:Setting aside one’s philosophy regarding the abortion process, this presents an interesting question.
Abortions are very clearly elective procedures
If you are precluded by an executive order from getting liposuction today, you are still legally allowed to get that liposuction in June.
But if the same order prevents you from having an abortion today, will you be allowed to get that abortion in June? In most states, the answer is “no.”
Given those facts, is it really reasonable to treat the two procedures in the same manner during this “crisis?”
Prediction: 95% of responses will be either personal attacks or statements regarding the merits of abortion (or lack thereof). I am being generous in predicting that 5% may address the substantive question.
EDIT: 100% thus far.

How is a liquor store essential?
The question SHOULD be (as PM implied) whether a business or other interaction can operate with effective social distancing.

You can buy your booze at the grocery stores.

Not only have I been around the state, I’ve been around most of the states in the U.S.
So our jab is off base.

In my mind, the cartoon depicts decisions being based on politics and not for heath reasons. Others might view it a different way.

Aggie, how is bringing up liquor moving the goal post when one of the buildings in the cartoon is a liquor store ?

This essential versus non-essential labeling is complete bullshite. If you say that 10 or more people cannot gather, then that should apply to everything. Grocery stores and hardware stores are open and do even have to follow those guidelines, yet department stores are completely closed? What is the difference in shopping at Lowe’s compared to Macy’s?
All this does is allow the government to pick winners and losers.

As PM said, closing liquor stores (or any similar retail outlet) is silly, if one can maintain social distancing. Whether a bottle of rum or a package of boxer briefs, I can make my purchase at a safe distance from other shoppers.
From the perspective of containing the virus ONLY, closing churches is actually the most-clearly acceptable of the three, as church services are probably the closest physical proximity to other individuals that any person experiences each week ... unless he rides the NYC subway.
Setting aside personal feelings regarding the Constitutionality of the process, allowing access to abortion clinics makes sense for the reason that I outlined. Close them, and you do not just delay a constitutional right .. you preclude it altogether.

There isn't a business out there that can't practice social distancing or some form of protective measures. Nothing should be outright closed.

A lot of States don't allow anything but beer and wine at grocery
Now we can argue that these laws are BS
