Yep. There is no reason we aren't completely open right now. The ramifications of this shutdown are so detrimental. They are far worse than most Americans realize. The unintended consequences are HUGE.
This was supposed to be about "flattening the curve" not staying home indefinitely. Students need to be back on campus now. All students K-12 need to be back at class. This BS won't end until they start laying off teachers and school staff. Government workers, too.
Why is it when government shuts down for two weeks it is devastating? News story after news story about families needing to get back to work. But now the private sector can be closed indefinitely for months? I notice in MN they aren't opening clothing stores (no sales tax on clothing) but they can open tons of other stores. Why can I go in a liquor store and buy a bottle of wine, but I can't go in a hockey store and buy some pucks? Now, I know, I know...alcohol is an issue and if we close liquor stores people have withdrawel. I get it. That's not my point. I think all stores should be open. Not just the highly taxed liquor stores. Where would I be more likely to get Covid? A Walmart with tons of people or Total Hockey with 2 employees and 3 customers? Hmmm...these arbitrary restrictions are absolutely wrong and people need to start filing lawsuits.
Anything to damage the economy Trump built.
