Is he leaving all the pot places open, since they're owned by his buddies?

So I called the landfill at St Andrews and all the landfills/transfer stations are going to be open and the guy at St Andrews was royally ticked off that he has to come to work.

They were busy yesterday.

 

[Chris0nllyn]

Is he leaving all the pot places open, since they're owned by his buddies?

Yes. Because they are considered party of the healthcare industry.

I think it would be easier to list what businesses will be closed.

I think it would be easier to list what businesses will be closed.

Exactly. That list was about as definitive as a politician can be.

I'm guessing enforcement is going to be the thing here? My non DoD company is considered essential by state and fed guidelines but the majority of customers are not essential.
Restaurants can carry on like last week. Lowe's will be open as will liquor stores. BONUS! I can put my car in the local shop for scheduled maintenance.

In solidarity with the working man, who will be losing their means of living by his decree, the Governor, his administration along with the state legislature need to forfeit their salaries for the duration of this shut down.

Thank the gods. I thought I was going to have to cook.

Good thing the fire departments weren't to be closed, then.

How would Target and Walmart fit in I wonder. They do prescriptions and carry food - what's their classification?

Well, the list includes grocery stores and pharmacies so that should be self explanatory.

One list I saw said department stores are non essential for this situation. You can buy depends in the pharmacy but not underwear in the department store side.

 

[PeoplesElbow]

Well that sucks that's exactly what I was going after. Underwear not depends.

Commando!

In truth, I don't know how they will handle those mix use businesses.

 

[Gilligan]

Yea... Dyson's is deemed essential.

Woo hoo...so are we.

 

[GWguy]

And no, guys don't really do this.....

 

[PeoplesElbow]

Or inside out - isn't that what you guys do?

not me, the seems on the banana hammock feel funny on my cheeks that way

There are so many loopholes and so much ambiguous terminology in those guidelines that I don't see many businesses closing unless they are in a clearly defined category that is specifically listed.

I predict by the end of the week we will be under "shelter in place" because no one will heed these guidelines.
