I’m on my third week of doing that right now. Try it; it’s liberating.
How stupid!
The Internet is our lifeline during this lockdown, yet consumer electronics are dubbed “non-essential.”
And many can’t get through to the state by phone anyway
Typical illogical Leftist reasoning.
Walmart and Target should just close their stores in Vermont until the stupid order is lifted. The state is small enough that anyone should be able to travel to a neighboring state to do their shopping.
And applying for unemployment (6 million of them)
Same here, Laz.
Clothing nonessential?
Well the outcome of this edict is predetermined.
It's the governors and mayors that are imposing these lockdowns, not Trump.
Those who have issued the order are non-essential and must be eliminated. Darkness at Noon.
There, Comrade, I fixed the capitalist nomenclature.
Is coffee essential? Ammunition? Laundry detergent? Candy? Socks? Maybe there will be a list issued soon.
.....”the problem here is that big box stores aren’t just grocery stores”.....
I don’t see that as a “problem”. Kids now at Home-schooling need supplies, same with people planting food gardens, independent plumbers and electricians needing supplies, those doing home improvements, even our Emts and other front line workers shop Wal-marts for supplies.....
Well Mr. Mayor I cannot replace the bad breaker in your electrical panel because you ordered Home Depot to stop selling those parts. It’s back ordered and should be here next Friday. Pity about all those steaks in your deep freeze.
Let's think about what you wrote, because it floored me.
Your position is that 1)[if] there is a shelter-in-place order then 2) why would you need new clothes.
In other words, in your mind there's few, if any reasons you would need new clothes.
I can think of dozens of reasons you would need new clothes in such a situation including:
1) Cut resistant pants to use when cutting firewood
2) Work pants and shirts if working in attic or other spaces during home repairs that may contain fiberglass insulation.
3) Purchase new T-shirts and recycle old sorts for use in cleaning windows.
In other words, there's plenty of reason someone may need to get new clothes.
But your statement "..if you['re] supposed to shelter in place why do you need new clothes" was so shocking to me, I called up a friend and sent her the URL. She read your comment and said to me:
"Is this person a supporter of fascism?"
When that's the first thing someone mentions in response to your comment, it should give you pause.
They are about to find out how often the guys at the hospital who have to keep all that shit [it’s a technical term] running get screws and wires and bulbs and pipe and so forth from Home Depot.
I’ll guarantee we have imbecilic FReepers who think this idea is just grand! These FR Coronavirus threads are like being at the Democratic Underground!
I am Exhibit A against that position. Ask anybody who has ever seen me. Go ahead.
