People who work for a living aren’t ever ‘non-essential’
Boston Herald ^ | 4/25/20 | Howie Carr

Posted on 04/26/2020 10:59:27 AM PDT by Libloather

Who the hell are these politicians to imperiously decide who’s “essential” and who’s not?

Non-essential, they hiss, pointing a finger at you. Non-essential!

If you’re non-essential, these tinpot dictators with their catastrophically wrong “models” tell you, stay home. Lose your job, your business, your life. What the hell do they care?

You’ll take it and you’ll like it! Nicht wahr? As certain Germans used to say. Isn’t that so? Jawohl!

They’ve got theirs, Jack. And it comes with State Police chauffeurs. They’re just trying to do the Reich, I mean right thing.

At long last, finally, working people are starting to push back at these damn-fool silver-spoon politicians who are gleefully destroying the economy for… what, exactly?

I saw a quote the other day from a woman with a “non-essential” small business:

“I’m not afraid of losing my life, I’m afraid of losing the life I built.”

Well, many of them don’t necessarily “work” work; they have “positions” don’t cha know.

While I agree with what you say, isn’t that also the Sandy Springs main government building, including the police HQ? Or is police HQ elsewhere?

They think that they can make up the lost tax revenue by just taxing us more and demanding a bailout from the fed, also from non-existent tax revenue.

The only federal employees considered “essential” are police, firefighters, and EMS. It’s a BS definition.

“Who the hell are these politicians to imperiously decide who’s “essential” and who’s not? “

The media does it also. I appreciate our doctors, nurses, etc. that are “on the front lines” but the media hypes them to the point where I feel like a helpless, useless little runt.

Does anyone know of any government “worker” who has been fired or laid off without pay during this BS? Crickets. We continue to be played for chumps .

The big permanent sign says Performing Arts Center. It is a big auditorium. Any other municipal building might be small and behind the big building. But the message is Performing Arts.

Don’t know the sign you’re looking at. The major part of the building is City Hall. Which I think is an excessive structure, don’t get me wrong.

The building I refer to has a very big sign near the top of the face above all the artsy glass that says PERFORMANCE ART CENTER. If there is a sign that says Municipal center or Police station or anything else, that sign is very small and well hid.

From memory, I believe there are little signs telling people where to walk and things like that.

That’s the end of the building that faces Roswell Rd.

That’s the eastern 1/4 of the building, call it.

The rest is City Hall, minus some restaurants at the far end. Now, I’m not 100% sure the police are there. But a lot of gov’t stuff is.

Here’s the City Hall entrance. Performing Arts Center part of the structure is to the right, out of the frame.

It’s another way to divide up Americans and pit us against each other.
Clever liberal tactic that most people fall for.

Similar pitting different age groups and races against each other.
Evil is very clever and uses the same tactics because those tactics work.
