I’m not one to be an alarmist, but this shit can bubble up to be some kind of civil war. If you take a bunch of people that are largely fine, tell them there’s a vague illness out there that’s basically the flu, put them out of work, try forcing them to stay home, and then cut off all their supplies, they’re going to riot at some point.
I don't live there and no I would personally go grab the seeds if needed. The point is that a lot of people wouldn't dare cross it and far more that see no issue with the idea in the first place.
All they have to do is disallow any item by sale at the register. That will stock the sale because they don't allow open department entries any more like 1.00 to the Garden Dept.
not sure about a civil war but give it another month, two tops and theres going to be massive civil unrest. people are getting bored and are tired of being scared of something that people have a 98+% rate of surviving. It's not a good mixture. People already are on edge.
It’s the fucking flu that spreads faster and gets a little worse. You don’t unplug the world over it. There have been no grim projections of it that have all been correct in the slightest. They have a 100% failure rate in predicting how bad this would be by many orders of magnitude. There are no relevant facts or statistics to support anything that has gone on during this.
2.7% of CONFIRMED Cases, making it probably close to 1.3% with 90% of those being 80yo or above...not scary at all. And it doesn't kill kids. H1N1 killed 500 schoolage kids in one month and they didn't even think about closing schools.
Mods, you can't just let these shills run hogwild all over this site. It's obvious what this fool is: it's obvious what they all are. All of them try to shut down debate by calling us nonsupporters of Trump. They all say "why don't you support Trump", they ALL play up the danger of the virus, and they all refuse to acknowledge the existence of the cure or any way of handling this other than destroying the economy. The appeal to authority is the most blatant giveaway, but the whole package is unmistakable. They all have to go.
I agree, we are completely overrun with this shit and it seems the mods aren't identifying it or have their hands full trying to keep the site going. Personally, I think it seems to be coordinated and I find it very convenient that our reddit site got dumped right before this shit hit the fan.
You know it’s funny, because I’m one of the people you’re talking about and to me I’m thinking, “all of these iTs JuSt ThE fLu people must be paid shills.”
I just don’t see how openly, aggressively denying everything the President says about Coronavirus and constantly talking about how stupid his shutdown is can possibly be considered Pro Trump. To me, you might as well come here every day and say voter fraud is fake, and voter ID is bad policy. It’s not that I don’t think you should be able to think that—think for yourself. What I don’t understand is why you’d do it in a forum that is supposedly dedicated to exclusively positive discussion of Trump and his presidency.
the thought of massive economic destruction scares me more than this virus. Call me a shill but i'll keep telling people that its just the flu. we need to move on and let the cards rest where they may. Humans aren't meant to be closed off in a house for months on end.
Unlike most people talking about this I actually had and survived ARDS. It was about a year before my lung capacity felt normal again and 4 to 5 years before I could breath air below 25 degrees without shortness of breath accompanied by intense stabbing pain. But, and this is important, I fully recovered. My point being it'll take years before anyone can say with certainty whether these people truly have "life-long pulmonary damage" or not.
Nah I think people will be ok because we are still under the thought process for the greater good.
Only reason nothing has happened yet. But the anger and frustration is coming.
Here they cancelled bear hunting. When people complained about it the governor opened it back up but then closed down the sporting good stores so no real way to buy ammo to do the hunting.
They cancel fishing they are done people will not listen to nobody.
Vermont: "non-essential items not listed in the Executive Order, including, but not limited to: arts and crafts"
Where the flying frick do they think people are getting supplies to make homemade masks? Masks that the CDC is now recommending people wear to prevent asymptomatic spread.
"entertainment (books, music, movies)" - They want people to stay home, but they want to deprive people of means to keep from being bored at home and end up going outside?
We'd be better off shutting down the Vermont state government and declaring them non-essential.
Well the projections (yes, they’ve been off but they are what everyone is working off of) say we’re going to reach 2600 deaths a day on April 16. That’s pretty bad.
I don’t know if “believe” is the right word, especially since if you look at them there’s a WIDE range of “possibilities”, with the 2600 number being an average of them. I don’t “believe” that we’re going to see 2600 deaths on April 16. I think that when you ask what it is that is driving people to buy the masks and what not, you can invoke some secret knowledge conspiracy theory or you can say, well you know, the publicly available projections say such and such.
It’s all bull shit. You can mark down any death as suspected covid 19 and it counts. Soon you’ll have more people dying in a hospital of covid 19 then were hospitalized for covid 19.
See that’s when I think this crosses the line into conspiracy theory nonsense. If the deaths are lower, you’ll see it as evidence that coronavirus wasn’t serious. I they’re higher, you’ll say it’s evidence of fake Reporting. So it is impossible to look at it any way besides how you already see it.
Watch what we allow you to watch. Go to stores we allow you to go. Buy items we allow and in amts we allow. Go outside under conditions we allow. We need to stop complying with this bs!
Bread and circuses. People can put up with a lot if they can have their three hots and a cot with a few fun time hours on the side. Take one or the other and people will take what is theirs back and with interest.
We are watching the real-time massacre of our country, one state at a time.
Nobody ever, ever thought it would be this way.
I suppose that is the essence of these things though, nobody ever knows exactly what will happen ahead of time. If they'd have known, they'd have prepared.
Right, but we would see a population cut in half, and presumably we wouldn't be able to occupy all of modern-day US. We would need to rebuild a lot of infrastructure
Bullshit. America isn't conquerable in any sort of conventional war. Far too large, far too many people with guns, and the only way in by amphibious invasion against the largest Navy in the world? Even if 75% of the US Navy ceased to exist, they don't have to sink every ship, they just have to make an invasion fail. Which they easily could.
Light bulbs - non essential
batteries - non essential
food - non essential
freedom - non essential
vote by mail with zero ID process - ESSENTIAL!
President Trump needs to tell these governors/states that if they overstep their boundaries, he will declare martial law, have them arrested and run their states for them.
Alaska fish and game closed down black bear hunting season, not exactly a crowd function, tell me more about how awesome Dunleavy is. He lost his will to fight after Anchorage threatened to recall him over the budget fight. You're right that he won't be re-elected though, he cucked out.
I don't want to live in this country anymore if this bullshit doesn't stop. This virus is a paper tiger. Look at all of the big names that (claim to) have it. None of them have died. This is one of the most ridiculous chapters in Amercan history.
Fuck the left, fuck the sky is falling alarmists, let them Reeeeeeee to the sky about it but open the fucking country again. If people are sick give them the Trump pills cocktail free of charge. It's the best we can fucking do!
Enough of this sacrifice the needs of the many for the needs of a few bullshit!
This is fucking insane. When does Trump put a stop to the madness? Millions of people die from respiratory infections every year, this coronavirus (out of the hundreds of coronaviruses) is not changing the numbers significantly.
When does Trump take back control of the country? We voted for Trump, and whoever is calling the shots right now is certainly not Trump. He doesn't want this bullshit.
Vermonters voted for this crazy cuck. It's their problem. Trump believes in states' rights and the Constitution. Guys like this Governor probably won't get reelected.
Unfortunately, there was no other viable Republican option. It was either him or a democratic trans woman running on gun control. Who would you have voted for?
States are still only allowed to operate within constitutional authority. However the constitution is basically toilet paper at this point so here we are.
I believe that fully. I also believe that there are a large number of people allowing this government overreach because Trump is endorsing it. If he vocally disagrees with it, things would change very quickly.
Panic, everyone, panic! Just freak out as much as possible!
Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh we are all gonna die!!! Someday.
And it is the governments responsibility to keep us all alive and happy! The government is your rich nice uncle and if he isn't we need to get very, very, mad and make uncle give us everything. In exchange, we give uncle everything and trust he will do right by us.
Our society has been slowly lulled into this acceptance. This is a coordinated and planned take down happening right now. Small encroachments compounded over time. This MUST NOT be allowed to continue. The damage being done right now is FAR beyond that which we can wrap our minds around. We're being bled out while Karen sits and claps on facebook about how this is all a POSITIVE thing we must do to stop the virus. Fuck Karen. Fuck liberals. Fuck this virus. We are not cattle!
Well that's the dilemma isn't it? No one wants to be the first to confront the guards. Especially when they're not sure if anyone will follow. However at the current pace of things....that dilemma might not matter since the State is pushing people into a corner with no way out.
If Trump came out and said that he needs our help in order to stop these Dem governors who are out of control with power from destroying everything, that might get it started. He knows he can say that, he hasn't said it yet, so there's still some hope that he can turn it around.
Drive to a neighboring state with cheap gas and no income tax for them.
As VT's neighbor, I kindly request that Vermonters stay in their own state and deal with the government they elected. The only way some people wake up is for them to get what they voted for, good and hard.
How very socialist of you. I mean there are people in the world (mainly older people) that aren't online to do shopping. They would need to go to a store to replace broken electronics. Even just basic ones like a kettle.
But it's all about trapping people in their homes for months on end. To let them sink into depression with little or no support or hope.
Its strange seeing states turn into socialist states (within a non-socialist country) with little blowback. There are many ways I thought the far left would turn America into a socialist state. Just never seen this method.
This shit is escalating faster then I thought. Do democrats actually expect liberals to accept this? I find this whole situation odd. I would imagine liberals would be the first to break down and riot over stuff like this. So I find the idea of the deep state trying to speed up a revolution hard to believe. Liberals will last one month tops with these laws. Cut off their snacks and video games and they will go insane in days.
Whatever gets this lockdown over with quicker works for me.
In Texas, our box stores have devised a system where a limited numer of persons my be in the store making distancing easier. There are 250 carts, everyone has to have a cart, they are wiped with disinfectant after each use before returning it to the front.
The first thing you see is a hand sanitizing station and you are advised to use it. Then you are given your cart. There are no restrictions on what you may purchase, but reasonable limits on quantities for essential items like bread, milk, eggs etc.
This will do nothing to prevent anything. Think about it. If you go to the big box retailer for essentials you are STILL THERE! You are still able to spread whatever you have to others!
What is the point of limiting sales of items present AT the store?
Of course Vermont is a blue state and we know that politics come before everything else.
That's my feelings. How can you STOP this in is tracks. You simply can't. I'm in HVAC, I'm still going into people's homes, and commercial job sites are still going. You can slow it down, but it cannot be just stopped.
Right, in reality it's going to extend the spread over a longer period. I think that the warmer temperatures will kill the virus on public handrails and such, but that's only if the surface is in direct sunlight. The subways and elevators will remain the same conditioned surface as they are today. It's impossible to stop.
fucking fantastic. I live by their shitty border so now all their shitty liberal yuppies are just gonna rob and buy up everything from the stores in my state
This state is fucked. The state budget was already screwed and that's with high taxes on everything. All the money goes towards non essential administrative pencil pushers that make six figures and welfare rats. Those people still get their checks either way. The high paying bullshit job people are the biggest Bernie supporters band don't realize the irony. It's a bankrupt state that pays straight up retards more than engineers at the state level. Then acts confused about why the infrastructure is falling apart and the budget is busted
How many WuFlu deaths have there been in Vermont to justify this? Hmm, let's see.....17. There have been 17 deaths attributed to WuFlu, out of 389 total confirmed cases. Well that definitely is cause to completely shut down your state's supply chain.
I'm counting on you, Governor Abbott, to reopen Texas as soon as humanly possible. Texas needs to lead the way and others will follow. Vermont and all the other blue states simply won't be able to stand by idle while the red states get back to normal.
This is ridiculous! It would make more sense to limit the number of people in a store than to decide what is or isn't essential to each person and family. Hopefully, this backfires so badly that a few lefties wake up and realize that government doesn't know what's good for us and that's WE THE PEOPLE tell them what to do and not the other way around.
Look, I am a essential worker, in that I support all the IT equipment and POS equipment at stores and nothing pisses me off more is the assholes who think it's a holiday to go shopping for items that are not essential. Easter items? Room decorations wtf?
I'm out here trying to be safe from them and their little infection on two legs as I perform my job.
Those assholes ARE supposed to be home or elsewhere so not to infect the rest of us who are working.
Come in for essential items, but stop buying bikinis. Easter coloring, baskets and electronics.
Keep your little walking infections home or with someone else, dont bring them to the stores.
Anyone gets close to where I may be working I just walk away, go to restroom, wash my hands again then return.
Let's not just be headline reader's pedes. They're cutting back the sales of non-essential products. Not food and water.
"Large “big box” retailers must cease in-person sales of non-essential items not listed in the Executive Order, including, but not limited to: arts and crafts, beauty, carpet and flooring, clothing, consumer electronics, entertainment (books, music, movies), furniture, home and garden, jewelry, paint, photo services, sports equipment, toys and the like.
Large “big box” retailers must:
Restrict access to non-essential goods. Stores must close aisles, close portions of the store, or remove items from the floor.
Only offer non-essential items via online portals, telephone, delivery, or curbside pickup, to the extent possible.
Except in the event of emergencies threatening the health and welfare of a customer, showrooms and garden sections of large home improvement centers should be closed. "
Drawing arbitrary lines in the sand over what is essential and nonessential is damn retarded. We need more than just food and water if we’re supposed to be prisoners in our own homes. Just more tyranny.
I was just pointing out this. The post makes for a misleading statement when lots of people these days go by facts and spread of word from seeing only a headline.
Well would you look at that, they're making the stores empty in Vermont just for Bernie so he can feel comfortable like he's back home in Moscow.
No more unfitted suits from Burlington Coat Factory :/
Internet Platinum right here. ^
Give that pede a coat
You bigot, it's just Bu'lington now.
Thanks, Bernie
Spicy
They are closing the country down.
This extreme change to drastic and unnecessary authoritarian rule of free people generally ends in only one way . . .
I’m not one to be an alarmist, but this shit can bubble up to be some kind of civil war. If you take a bunch of people that are largely fine, tell them there’s a vague illness out there that’s basically the flu, put them out of work, try forcing them to stay home, and then cut off all their supplies, they’re going to riot at some point.
People need to eat, need to feed there families, and need to replenish coffers by working.
Take all that away by closing down the country and people WILL survive .. and it won't be civil.
This is fast becoming a fucking disaster.
Exactly they are roping of areas of stores. Not allowing to the area to buy seeds either incredibly stoopid
That is INCREDIBLY STUPID.
And other stupids will follow suit.
I don't live there and no I would personally go grab the seeds if needed. The point is that a lot of people wouldn't dare cross it and far more that see no issue with the idea in the first place.
All they have to do is disallow any item by sale at the register. That will stock the sale because they don't allow open department entries any more like 1.00 to the Garden Dept.
A great depression is probably only a couple months away.
If it continues on this course and things stay shut down, I mean. This is no way to run an economy.
>We are here.
>also
>That is not satire.
not sure about a civil war but give it another month, two tops and theres going to be massive civil unrest. people are getting bored and are tired of being scared of something that people have a 98+% rate of surviving. It's not a good mixture. People already are on edge.
It’s the fucking flu that spreads faster and gets a little worse. You don’t unplug the world over it. There have been no grim projections of it that have all been correct in the slightest. They have a 100% failure rate in predicting how bad this would be by many orders of magnitude. There are no relevant facts or statistics to support anything that has gone on during this.
2.7% of CONFIRMED Cases, making it probably close to 1.3% with 90% of those being 80yo or above...not scary at all. And it doesn't kill kids. H1N1 killed 500 schoolage kids in one month and they didn't even think about closing schools.
Nope never happened, scandal free
What about the IRS targeting specific political groups?
Mods, you can't just let these shills run hogwild all over this site. It's obvious what this fool is: it's obvious what they all are. All of them try to shut down debate by calling us nonsupporters of Trump. They all say "why don't you support Trump", they ALL play up the danger of the virus, and they all refuse to acknowledge the existence of the cure or any way of handling this other than destroying the economy. The appeal to authority is the most blatant giveaway, but the whole package is unmistakable. They all have to go.
DEPORT THE SHILLS
Make sure to click the deport button under shill posts.
What happens exactly when you hit that deport button? Never done it
I agree, we are completely overrun with this shit and it seems the mods aren't identifying it or have their hands full trying to keep the site going. Personally, I think it seems to be coordinated and I find it very convenient that our reddit site got dumped right before this shit hit the fan.

This is right.
10% death rate and permanent life-long pulmonary damage for a % of the young 'mild cases'.
Reeeeeeee, but but but, muh potty-life!
Unlike most people talking about this I actually had and survived ARDS. It was about a year before my lung capacity felt normal again and 4 to 5 years before I could breath air below 25 degrees without shortness of breath accompanied by intense stabbing pain. But, and this is important, I fully recovered. My point being it'll take years before anyone can say with certainty whether these people truly have "life-long pulmonary damage" or not.
...especially because the weather is starting to get nice
Two months? Give it two weeks
Nah I think people will be ok because we are still under the thought process for the greater good.
Only reason nothing has happened yet. But the anger and frustration is coming.
Here they cancelled bear hunting. When people complained about it the governor opened it back up but then closed down the sporting good stores so no real way to buy ammo to do the hunting.
They cancel fishing they are done people will not listen to nobody.
Begone thot!
That's a man baby!
Vermont: "non-essential items not listed in the Executive Order, including, but not limited to: arts and crafts"
Where the flying frick do they think people are getting supplies to make homemade masks? Masks that the CDC is now recommending people wear to prevent asymptomatic spread.
"entertainment (books, music, movies)" - They want people to stay home, but they want to deprive people of means to keep from being bored at home and end up going outside?
We'd be better off shutting down the Vermont state government and declaring them non-essential.

no books and movies, wtf, same for arts and crafts that stuff occupies ppls minds and time
Watch what we allow you to watch. Go to stores we allow you to go. Buy items we allow and in amts we allow. Go outside under conditions we allow. We need to stop complying with this bs!
Well, you don't need Democrats arguing that most the money needs to keep the Kennedy center open right now
That's why stores in LA and Manhattan are boarding over their windows. Watch that spread in every large Dem city.
Plywood will soon be deemed non-essential items .. dem constituants are entitled to their 65" big screens and $150 sneakers in times like this.
There will be home invasions here when the homeless and illegals try to escape stricter Quarantine
Bread and circuses. People can put up with a lot if they can have their three hots and a cot with a few fun time hours on the side. Take one or the other and people will take what is theirs back and with interest.
We are watching the real-time massacre of our country, one state at a time.
Nobody ever, ever thought it would be this way.
I suppose that is the essence of these things though, nobody ever knows exactly what will happen ahead of time. If they'd have known, they'd have prepared.
A Boy Scout is always prepared.
Boogaloo, which we will win
Now, what will we do with the left and how will we get productive quickly?
With the left out of the way, your question is easily answered.
Right, but we would see a population cut in half, and presumably we wouldn't be able to occupy all of modern-day US. We would need to rebuild a lot of infrastructure
Oh no apartment complexes will sit empty bummer
Free market will finally be free and it'll sort all the details out at lightning speed.
And then when we're weak, all those enemies we have are just going to watch from a distance.
It's delusional to think of such things positively. People would die, and America would likely end.
Bullshit. America isn't conquerable in any sort of conventional war. Far too large, far too many people with guns, and the only way in by amphibious invasion against the largest Navy in the world? Even if 75% of the US Navy ceased to exist, they don't have to sink every ship, they just have to make an invasion fail. Which they easily could.
Uh, rediculous. Not even 1% of leftists are willing to fight and die for their beliefs.
I'm not sure if there are enough helicopters in the USA
And they are blaming Trump for it. It's disgusting.
Commissar? Is that the vegetable or human description being pertained? Just kind of confused on that.
They made a colossal blunder: they didn't disarm us before they pulled this shit
They thought they could just skip that part and go straight to power hungry authoritarianism. Lazy ass lefties.
MA has closed gun stores deeming them non essential. Better stock up.
MA is either cooking the books or doing a shit job of containment. They are going to end up on Birx's shit list at this rate.
Notably, it had the most permissive gun laws probably on Earth until October of 2018
They're still somewhat permissive, but prior to 2018 it made Texas look like Massachusetts
The first thing the Soviet Union did was deny seed and other implements to independent farmers... because they did not rely on The State for survival.
The State of Vermont is following their 1917 playbook.
The Green Mountain Boys would be horrified.
These Dem state morons are practically campaigning for us at this point.
We know exactly what they are up to.
Light bulbs - non essential
batteries - non essential
food - non essential
freedom - non essential
vote by mail with zero ID process - ESSENTIAL!
President Trump needs to tell these governors/states that if they overstep their boundaries, he will declare martial law, have them arrested and run their states for them.
the Alaska governor is doing a great job too, unfortunately hes republican and one of Trumps buddies. hes not getting reelected (the governor)
Alaska fish and game closed down black bear hunting season, not exactly a crowd function, tell me more about how awesome Dunleavy is. He lost his will to fight after Anchorage threatened to recall him over the budget fight. You're right that he won't be re-elected though, he cucked out.

Enough of this sacrifice the needs of the many for the needs of a few bullshit!
Trump is your president.
This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard.
The Bolshevik revolution was more coup than revolution... those pukes already had their foot in the door
So did we, Trump has been kicking them back out thank god.
This is fucking insane. When does Trump put a stop to the madness? Millions of people die from respiratory infections every year, this coronavirus (out of the hundreds of coronaviruses) is not changing the numbers significantly.
When does Trump take back control of the country? We voted for Trump, and whoever is calling the shots right now is certainly not Trump. He doesn't want this bullshit.

Unfortunately, there was no other viable Republican option. It was either him or a democratic trans woman running on gun control. Who would you have voted for?
Either the states have the power to govern themselves or they don't. Can't pick and choose only conservative actions as permissable.
States are still only allowed to operate within constitutional authority. However the constitution is basically toilet paper at this point so here we are.
I believe that fully. I also believe that there are a large number of people allowing this government overreach because Trump is endorsing it. If he vocally disagrees with it, things would change very quickly.
What, in Vermont?
The deep state is so big even Trump can't stop it sometimes. Corruption is the real virus
They are stopping the sales of SEEDS. The ultimate long term ESSENTIAL survival item.
Farmers: provides food for population.
Vermont Government: Lul get fucked.
Panic, everyone, panic! Just freak out as much as possible!
Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhh we are all gonna die!!! Someday.
And it is the governments responsibility to keep us all alive and happy! The government is your rich nice uncle and if he isn't we need to get very, very, mad and make uncle give us everything. In exchange, we give uncle everything and trust he will do right by us.
Now panic!!! Panic! Panic!
Our society has been slowly lulled into this acceptance. This is a coordinated and planned take down happening right now. Small encroachments compounded over time. This MUST NOT be allowed to continue. The damage being done right now is FAR beyond that which we can wrap our minds around. We're being bled out while Karen sits and claps on facebook about how this is all a POSITIVE thing we must do to stop the virus. Fuck Karen. Fuck liberals. Fuck this virus. We are not cattle!
So are ya gonna do something? Or are you gonna sit and complain?
Well that's the dilemma isn't it? No one wants to be the first to confront the guards. Especially when they're not sure if anyone will follow. However at the current pace of things....that dilemma might not matter since the State is pushing people into a corner with no way out.

What are YOU doing?
Working, providing for my family, complaining about people who are complaining.
As VT's neighbor, I kindly request that Vermonters stay in their own state and deal with the government they elected. The only way some people wake up is for them to get what they voted for, good and hard.
How very socialist of you. I mean there are people in the world (mainly older people) that aren't online to do shopping. They would need to go to a store to replace broken electronics. Even just basic ones like a kettle.

Its strange seeing states turn into socialist states (within a non-socialist country) with little blowback. There are many ways I thought the far left would turn America into a socialist state. Just never seen this method.
Who gets to determine whats "essential?"
Communism.
Exactly. Someone is bestowed with that power. My Gov in MA deemed gun stores non essential after a meeting with tyrant Maura Healy. Bullshit.
This shit is escalating faster then I thought. Do democrats actually expect liberals to accept this? I find this whole situation odd. I would imagine liberals would be the first to break down and riot over stuff like this. So I find the idea of the deep state trying to speed up a revolution hard to believe. Liberals will last one month tops with these laws. Cut off their snacks and video games and they will go insane in days.
Whatever gets this lockdown over with quicker works for me.
Is that real??? You have a source on the phone comment?
Man that's scary
Bet Natalie who wrote the press release for the fascist dick stick governor still gets paid.
The State motto is "Freedom and Unity"
Most of the non-essential items are from China . . .
WHY
and then also
WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK
A non-political take.
In Texas, our box stores have devised a system where a limited numer of persons my be in the store making distancing easier. There are 250 carts, everyone has to have a cart, they are wiped with disinfectant after each use before returning it to the front.
The first thing you see is a hand sanitizing station and you are advised to use it. Then you are given your cart. There are no restrictions on what you may purchase, but reasonable limits on quantities for essential items like bread, milk, eggs etc.
It works if there is no panic hoarding.
That makes total fucking sense. No wonder we aren't doing it.
Now that system was devised by us DEPLORABLES, so it won't make sense to NE Elitist Snobs who always run for office as DEMONcRATS.
Free one month trial of socialism
If you like your tyranny, you can keep your tyranny.
What will all the Bernie Bros say about this one? Just when I think shit can't get any more stupid.
Welp that’s pants on head retarded
This will do nothing to prevent anything. Think about it. If you go to the big box retailer for essentials you are STILL THERE! You are still able to spread whatever you have to others!
What is the point of limiting sales of items present AT the store?
Of course Vermont is a blue state and we know that politics come before everything else.
That's my feelings. How can you STOP this in is tracks. You simply can't. I'm in HVAC, I'm still going into people's homes, and commercial job sites are still going. You can slow it down, but it cannot be just stopped.
Right, in reality it's going to extend the spread over a longer period. I think that the warmer temperatures will kill the virus on public handrails and such, but that's only if the surface is in direct sunlight. The subways and elevators will remain the same conditioned surface as they are today. It's impossible to stop.
I already knew it before, but now I can never be convinced that Democrats do not destroy everything that they touch.
fucking fantastic. I live by their shitty border so now all their shitty liberal yuppies are just gonna rob and buy up everything from the stores in my state
Drink the koolaid
Sounds like some politicians bought stock in Amazon and want to try to drive up business.
When they do shit like this it becomes SO OBVIOUS its all be design. Holy %*@# do they think we're all stupid. Yes, yes they do.
I thought all pedes slept naked?
This state is fucked. The state budget was already screwed and that's with high taxes on everything. All the money goes towards non essential administrative pencil pushers that make six figures and welfare rats. Those people still get their checks either way. The high paying bullshit job people are the biggest Bernie supporters band don't realize the irony. It's a bankrupt state that pays straight up retards more than engineers at the state level. Then acts confused about why the infrastructure is falling apart and the budget is busted
They’re starting to do it here in Ohio. Have to order my underwear online now.
No plants or seeds for you.
No gardens.
The State will provide.
Get in line and women, cover your faces.
How many WuFlu deaths have there been in Vermont to justify this? Hmm, let's see.....17. There have been 17 deaths attributed to WuFlu, out of 389 total confirmed cases. Well that definitely is cause to completely shut down your state's supply chain.
I'm counting on you, Governor Abbott, to reopen Texas as soon as humanly possible. Texas needs to lead the way and others will follow. Vermont and all the other blue states simply won't be able to stand by idle while the red states get back to normal.
Disregard this ILLEGAL LOCKDOWN!
This is ridiculous! It would make more sense to limit the number of people in a store than to decide what is or isn't essential to each person and family. Hopefully, this backfires so badly that a few lefties wake up and realize that government doesn't know what's good for us and that's WE THE PEOPLE tell them what to do and not the other way around.
Look, I am a essential worker, in that I support all the IT equipment and POS equipment at stores and nothing pisses me off more is the assholes who think it's a holiday to go shopping for items that are not essential. Easter items? Room decorations wtf?
I'm out here trying to be safe from them and their little infection on two legs as I perform my job.
Those assholes ARE supposed to be home or elsewhere so not to infect the rest of us who are working.
Come in for essential items, but stop buying bikinis. Easter coloring, baskets and electronics.
Keep your little walking infections home or with someone else, dont bring them to the stores.
Anyone gets close to where I may be working I just walk away, go to restroom, wash my hands again then return.
I just cant wait for all this bullshit to end!
Lol ask yourself why
Watch for this to cascade to all liberal run states
Who the fuck is the government to say what’s essential and what isn’t?
He doesn't want us to talk?

Refuse all supplies to state government then.
Fuck this shit
I'm so bored I tried to buy a PS4
nobody has then
Nope, we keep it all.
Give them nothing and take from them everything.
No! I'm in Mass. My ancestors fought on the Lexington Green, my 6th great grandfather fought at Monmouth NJ. This whole country is worth it.
Let's not just be headline reader's pedes. They're cutting back the sales of non-essential products. Not food and water.
"Large “big box” retailers must cease in-person sales of non-essential items not listed in the Executive Order, including, but not limited to: arts and crafts, beauty, carpet and flooring, clothing, consumer electronics, entertainment (books, music, movies), furniture, home and garden, jewelry, paint, photo services, sports equipment, toys and the like.
Large “big box” retailers must:
Restrict access to non-essential goods. Stores must close aisles, close portions of the store, or remove items from the floor. Only offer non-essential items via online portals, telephone, delivery, or curbside pickup, to the extent possible. Except in the event of emergencies threatening the health and welfare of a customer, showrooms and garden sections of large home improvement centers should be closed. "
Drawing arbitrary lines in the sand over what is essential and nonessential is damn retarded. We need more than just food and water if we’re supposed to be prisoners in our own homes. Just more tyranny.
I was just pointing out this. The post makes for a misleading statement when lots of people these days go by facts and spread of word from seeing only a headline.
Well if you want to support China by buying Chinese products sold in Walmart by all means use your freedoms to do so.
