How to Open Your "Non-Essential" Business

Camp · 2020-05-25T23:26:36.002Z

Nonsense.

The crisis phase was over 4 weeks ago.

Way past time to favor the big boxes.

They did show us business can all be open.

Camp · 2020-05-25T23:27:50.698Z

You don’t get to decide any longer.

We are open.

April 27th was approximately 42,000 deaths ago.

And if we spent enough and gave up enough personal autonomy, we could eradicate all automobile deaths.

Cool.

I’ll stick to postponing haircuts and manicures to deal with the thirty 9/11s we’ve had since spring.

What “other side” would you like to see?

JayJay:

Then it became a race to see who could be more silly and melodramatic for no benefit to themselves

This side.

I’ve presented that side already.

Represented?

Y’all know about Mattress Mac?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/amp/Mattress-Mack-coronavirus-free-food-galleryfurnitu-15143201.php

He’s a Houston institution. I just heard him on the radio; he’s hiring at least 50 people today. By September he’ll have free daycare and a free co-op vocational school running for his employees. You go to school 4 days, work 1. Welding, construction, horticulture.

I remember when he operated out of a tent on the side of the highway.

He’s a great Christian man who worked hard, made it, and now gives back.

This is what we need, not more government.

It’s not about you missing a haircut, it’s about the barber losing his business and his home.

I thought Trump passed a bill for all of that, to help em out

Snow96 · 2020-05-26T03:22:12.858Z

it was to help them until they could re-open. And right now is the time to re-open things.

As long as people acknowledge that the risk of infection may increase.

I’m sorry, what?

One can catch COVID 19 from shopping for “nonessential” items like art supplies in “nonessential” retail, like Michaels, or in a small neighborhood hobby shop, but not in a “big box”, or discount store with an art supply section?

A hair stylist, who is wearing a mask while working, is the only professional who can spread COVID 19? . Are we supposed to do like men in Taliban Afghanistan, who were happily chopping off their long, untrimmed beards, only after the fall of the Taliban, only we’re happily trimming our own bangs out of our eyes? Or sporting the chrome dome?

Am amazed by the mindset of some, who, in joyfully throwing around terms like “lockdown”, don’t seem to mind living a prisoner like existence. “Lockdowns” have penalized small business owners and those who have learned a trade, like hairstyling or dental hygienists, more than college grads or employees of big businesses.

“Lockdown” by government never should have been started. It needs to stop.

Janet_Miller · 2020-05-26T09:34:59.382Z

We’ve had 30 terrorist attacks since spring?

Janet_Miller · 2020-05-26T09:36:08.768Z

Both the husband and myself got haircuts yesterday.

We’re open too—to some extent.

Janet_Miller · 2020-05-26T09:38:26.417Z

How about sending the symptomatic home instead of throwing the entire baby out with the dirty bath water?

Janet_Miller · 2020-05-26T09:44:02.302Z

I live in a rural area. Sort of sends me back to childhood, the number of antique cars, trucks and campers from the ‘70’s I see.

Just yesterday, the husband and I were going into the next town, also a very rural area. IIRC, automobiles manufactured before 1975 are exempt from state emissions inspections.

Got four lung fulls of totally malodorous smoke from the (Dodge, I think) traveling in front of us. Would rather experience that than have some state or federal official decide what sort of vehicles can be owned.

Camp · 2020-05-26T10:05:19.866Z

So what is your point?

Hospitals asked for a chance and they got it.

Nursing home statistics don’t abridge liberty.

No appreciation.

■■■■ your crisis.

They don’t care. They want to throw out the baby with the bath water and then blame it on Trump.

I simply don’t get this one size fits all approach to medicine some seem to have.

They’d probably find a way to rationalize not a uniform wearing policy to work, but everyone wearing the same size uniform. Let’s make it a Misses size Large.

Forget if you’re male, or under “5’4’, or taller or need a smaller or bigger than L size to fit.

Misses Size Large for everyone. Totally insane!

It’s all about politics and Control at this point. Some Governors are absolutely giddy with their new found power (IMO) and are going to be real reluctant to give it up.

The masses are going to have to take it back in a few cases i think. Mass protests if need be. Open business back up whether they like it or not.
