Do it!
YES!! LET’S ROLL!!
It is time the people of each state held by these tin pot tyrannical governors be RECALLED
Yep let’s roll. Plus, it isn’t like people aren’t still going to take precautions.
I had a doctor's appointment yesterday via the internet and, frankly, it beat the hell out of having to go to the doctor's office.
My local Walmart distribution center is social distancing and, from what I hear, has fully adapted and doing fine. Factories could do the same.
Except for restaurants, sports venues, and physical retail, most of America could already be at work.
“He has given the unelected bureaucrats their six weeks of shutting America down to try to “flatten the curve,” but is now signaling that that’s all the time they’re going to get”
Not really. Trump called for a shutdown through the end of April which is two weeks away. The new rules he outlined have gating criteria that must be met before reopening occurs. With three phases and each phase lasting a minimum of two weeks this thing drags on for a while.
The problem is that many businesses don’t have enough customers anymore — even if they open tomorrow.
Give me an example (something that’s not bricks and mortar retail or personal service like barbershops)?
I was disappointed in the plan. If you read the guidelines, this stuff never ends. Maybe we get back to work, but it’s always going to be with restrictions. I love Trump, support him 100%, but this over reliance on the CDC and career bureaucrats is frustrating at best, and I am concerned that we never get back to normal because many of our rights have been eroded.
Remember, the road of life is paved with flat squirrels.....
I noticed the other day that local restaurants are doing a pretty good curbside service (reminds me of the carhop days when I was a kid).
It will be a long time before most people have any confidence to make discretionary purchases.
Yep!
Anyone who is disappointed in “the plan” hasn’t been paying attention for the last 4-6 weeks. Trump is doing exactly what he’s supposed to do — and operating exactly within the limits of his authority. He cannot snap his fingers and compel every business in America to open its doors tomorrow.
In my area most of the restaurants have closed entirely — with no takeout or delivery service. I suspect most of them will never open again.
It’s the same in our small town. We have about 8 popular restaurants that in normal times do great business. Only 2 are doing takeout and I fear for the rest.
I foresee the Democrat and Rino governors dragging this on for as long as they possibly can.
But I think that driving for things other than commuting will skyrocket when restrictions are lifted. I filled up my gas tank last week for $18.00. I have never had a fill-up cost so little.
That said, new car sales are definitely down. But when new car sales decline, parts and service on old cars goes up.
And the trucking business is working around the clock right now.
I do worry about restaurants. Many of them are going to be wiped out. But some (many?) are adapting to curbside service and delivery.
Beauty shops and barbershops will suffer for a while, but when social distancing is lifted, they will pick up again. BTW, beauty shops did very well during the Great Depression. I think they were the forerunners of Prozac.;-)
That's a real shame.
But when social distancing is lifted, some will come back. There will be a glut of used kitchen equipment on the market so starting up anew will be cheaper than usual.
