Gavin Newsom owes California an apology
MSN ^ | 4-01-2021 | Jim Desmond

Gov. Gavin Newsom owes the citizens of California an apology. Telling someone they’re not essential is appalling. Every person and the work they do are essential. Just because a bureaucrat may deem you nonessential, that doesn't mean it's true.

Florida, Texas, and other states lifted their lockdowns and allowed businesses to open at 100%. Here’s a novel idea: Provide guidance and education and allow business owners the opportunity to safely operate their businesses. Each day it becomes clearer and clearer that the lockdowns did not work in California. Florida, Texas, and many other states are open and have fewer cases, deaths, and hospitalizations per capita than California.

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of medicine at Stanford University. When I spoke with Bhattacharya, he warned against the dangers of closing businesses and keeping people inside. Recently, he called the lockdowns the "biggest public health mistake we've ever made."

A study by Scientific Reports looked at 87 regions worldwide and found there was little to no evidence lockdowns work. The European Journal of Clinical Investigation peer-reviewed a study in January that examined the effects of lockdowns in 10 countries. There was "no clear, significant beneficial effect" from the stay-at-home orders and business closures. A study published by Frontiers in Public Health concluded that neither lockdowns nor lockdown severity were correlated with lower death rates.

It is estimated that 75% of restaurants will close permanently due to the lockdowns. Yelp reported that 55% of businesses listed on the platform that have closed since last year have shut down for good because of the lockdowns. Teenage suicide rates are up, at devastating levels, due to isolation and not being allowed in the classroom.

What did Kimberly Guilfoyle ever see in him? Why would Don Trump Jr. be ok with that poor decision of her to even want to be with her?

You’d think California voters would get the hint by now. Jerry Brown twice and now Gavin Newsom in trouble. Stop electing fools.

“Every person and the work they do are essential.”

Ludicrous assertion.

Some women seek powerful, highly influential men, and believe they can deal with the mood swings because of the material benefits they will be getting.
This most likely works in reverse too, we have all heard of
the greedy, ambitious Gigalo aka Kept Man or Boy Toy.

Broadly, yes.

Within their own spheres of influence, no.

Everyone who has a job is “essential” to the economy on some level; essential to family, the health and welfare of their children...the cascading effects militate strongly against any productive individual being nonessential, and only modestly less strongly against others in their households being nonessential.

Who, after all, drives the consumer side while the productive person is at work? And these associated relationships blanket the entire social map. The interconnectedness is massive, and designating a single person nonessential has follow-on impacts that are exponential, not simply multiple, or additional.
