“You want to go to work, go take a job as an essential worker,” he said. “Do it tomorrow. … You can get a job as an essential worker.” -- Andrew Cuomo

Not sure this will calm things down.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Mario the Pious could scarcely have been more condescending.

[xkaydet65]

My God did he really say that??

[eyeamok]

How About this:

All citizens whose profession, job or income producing ability has been deemed “non Essential”, shall be exempt from ALL Taxes on Income, Tips, Wages and Property in Perpetuity./

This man is a jackwad. These Democrat elites think we are all simply peons. Screw our dreams, they know better. I don’t understand why anyone would vote for these jerks.

“You can get a job as an essential worker...”

Like...governor?

[truthkeeper]

You will be assimilated.

All essential workers must take a 20% pay cut in show of solidarity of the millions who have been put out of work. Think they’d like that?

[Mr. Jeeves]

I don’t understand why anyone would vote for these jerks.

Many New York business owners, upon hearing this chastisement, will feel guilty that they are not as noble as Marshal Cuomo - and will vow to spend more time giving back the profits they have stolen from their communities. /s

Go get a job as an essential worker or learn to code - what’s wrong with these people. Maybe we should become Dem politicians, you don’t need any talent to do that.

[Calvin Locke]

I guess he thinks he’s going to be comp’d a Sub-Zero freezer full of ice cream.

“The illness is death,” Cuomo replied. “How can the cure be worse than the illness if the illness is potential death?”

1. The illness is NOT death. Most people infected by coronavirus don't even get sick at all or show only mild symptoms.
2. The cure is death. From more heart disease, more hypertension, more suicides etc all brought about by losing your business and your job and your livelihood.

Message to government employees: Learn to Code

[SmokingJoe]

Who is an “essential worker”?
And just who is going to pay for all these nurses and doctors etc since they don't actually produce anything?

[RomanSoldier19]

well as long as I get that sweet ice cream from my queen

[PeteB570]

I’m sure many would volunteer to take his job.

[bike800]

Would he say that to the BLM protestors?

[Petrosius]

Anyone who needs to feed his family is an essential worker!

[McGavin999]

I guess, since they are not essential Cuomo won’t miss their taxes when they move to a state that thinks they ARE essential.
