Gov. Jared Polis announced order that non-critical workplaces in Colorado temporarily reduce their in-person workforce by 50%.

The order, announced Sunday, goes into effect Tuesday. It does not apply to businesses that can prove employees can remain six feet apart during the workday.

Critical businesses that Polis said will not be subject to the order include: healthcare operations, critical infrastructure, critical manufacturing, critical retail, critical services, news media, financial institutions, provider of necessities to the economically disadvantaged, construction, defense, public safety, vendors to the public sector and critical services and critical government functions.

Pot shops? Gay massage parlors? Are these critical, I wonder?

[dynachrome]

My guess is that pole-a$$ will lock down everyone soon.

we now know who are essential and who are just window dressing.....

Where I worked does a lot of DOD stuff, so those guys will be critical I imagine.

Picking winners and losers, just like Rats do. Payback are going to be a bitch, Polis. We’re not going to forget you and your Rat governor friends.

I can’t seem to remember what it was.........

The ‘RATs have been hoping for a recession before the election. The democRAT governors are creating the recession that will be blamed on Trump. Russia, Ukraine, recession. If at first they don’t succeed, try and try again.

Yup. The marx-o-crats need to extend the crisis thru the election in November.

i’m guessing that gay pot shops ARE critical ... after all, it IS Colorado ...

My Clients have already placed more than 50% of their staff on "work-from-home" procedures. I too am doing all my work from a remote location, away of their offices. Personal face-to-face contacts are to be minimized.

I hear that an FBI office has done the same thing with their support staff.

This is a whole lot bigger that Governor Jared Polis. He is just copying current directives that have already been ordered in other States.

Colorado Gov Employees.
They can probably get rid of 50% without affecting anything.
