You don’t need a haircut to live, but to the barber who feeds his family one trim at a time, that business is essential. You can survive without new sneakers, but to the single mother who is a salesperson at a sneaker store, each new pair of kicks is a bottle of milk for her baby. In short, every restaurant, every storefront, every underground example of entrepreneurship is essential to the economic well-being of Philadelphia’s black and brown neighborhoods.

BINGO

Take out the Philly reference (and the race-baiting) and that describes every community in the Commonwealth.

I've said it many times...our side doesn't play the race card. But many of those 20MM+ freshly-unemployed Americans are poor or minorities. Keeping businesses shut is effectively the govt saying to these 20MM+ "we don't care about your stress." The financial stress-induced suicides will likely exceed whatever remaining deaths we will get from this bug.

Of course we want all Americans back to work and all businesses to reopen, regardless of race. That said, people should be slamming Wolf and his "racist" shutdown policies. Make Alinsky work for us.
