Whoever I say an "essential worker" is. The question is who is the master.

(The Center Square) – As protests against his orders shutting down the state’s economy went on outside the Capitol on Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo rejected the idea that economic woes were becoming a bigger threat to state residents than the coronavirus crisis that caused the shutdown in the first place.
Wednesday's protests are part of a series of demonstrations that have taken place across the country in the past few weeks. The governor was asked during his daily briefing on the viral pandemic if he could hear the protestors outside and what he thought of their concerns.
“The illness is death,” Cuomo replied. “How can the cure be worse than the illness if the illness is potential death?”
Asked about New Yorkers who have now gone weeks without paychecks and yet still have bills and expenses to pay, the governor said that unemployment checks and federal relief checks were intended to address exactly those concerns.

“These Democrat elites think we are all simply peons.”
And they think we are stupid peons too. They change they change yesterday’s lies to a brand new set today.
Most of the truly essential workers he's talking about need education, licenses, and specific training to get, and keep their jobs. This guy is so out of touch. He's even ordered people who suffer cardiac issues not to be resuscitated. Does that order include essential workers who are cardiac patients Andy Pandy?
He is a scum. Dictator Scum, at your service...NOT !
Whoever I say an "essential worker" is. The question is who is the master.
No he’s just pouring gasoline in a fire. Was it Biden that said, “Learn to code”? If this cornholio virus pandemic has proven one thing, it’s the absolute disdain that politicians have for “their subjects”. I am glad people are protesting! If this medical martial law continues on through late spring and early summer, they haven’t seen protests yet!

Why are public employees other than police and firemen getting paychecks?
These tinpot tyrants just hate the fact that people can criticize them. Which means we need to keep criticizing them. If they don’t like it, maybe they could migrate to China.
Cuomo doesn’t care about opening up the economy. He’s looking for more federal money so he can balance his budget and continue his profligate spending. There’s more unions he needs to payoff.
“If they don’t like it, maybe they could migrate to China.”
Sure. Chinese isn’t a hard language to learn; sort of like coding. And they have such interesting flavors of ice cream, such as bat and Mir cat.
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.
Let them eat cake.
Translation. You are not essential.
Is militia rifleman an essential job yet?
MY son has found that all the people who are for continued shut down have jobs and have not lost income.
When they suggest keeping it going, he asks them if they are still drawing a full paycheck.
Invariably they are.
It’s easy to be for continuing the shutdown when your paycheck is guaranteed and you are not hurting financially.
Cuomo is essentially an a-hole.
That would be brilliant. I would forward that idea to the White House site. It might get to Miller or one of the campaign higherups.
I’ve actually volunteered for duties outside my house, twice, but was not selected either time. (I am working from home, but I could’ve worked the schedules as needed.)
