No wonder the governor's approval rating is so high. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe.
Also you have people sitting around doing nothing and collecting unemployment with the extra 600 on top of that. Those same people is going to be complaining about not having a job and being broke

thats awesome, why was she shouting at you?

one time a few years ago my wife was taking a little extra time moving her cart at the costco cashier line because she was tending to our daughter. this old guy complained about her loud enough so she could hear it. im not sure if i was waiting in the car or went ahead for some reason but i didnt know. when she saw me, she complained about the guy. then as we drive away she points him out walking to his car. i told her to drive right by him and blast her horn. she did it and it was glorious.

It's called freedom of speech. BTW, I disagree with him.

I can assure you that not everyone who is in that position "would love for the stay at home order to continue forever". Working from home is fraught with difficulties, for both the employee & the supervisor.

This is what people like him don't get. It's a different economy today than it was then. My father was able to support my mother and 2 children on a salary as an appliance salesman at sears. Today that job would pay probably $10-12 an hour. Wages are much lower in terms of buying power and COL is much higher. No one had to pay $1500 a month for health insurance for a family, banks didn't charge fees for every little thing, and it probably cost an hour's salary to take your family to a ball game or circus while today it's a couple hundred dollars.

My mother was even able to afford a diaper service. To provide that lifestyle today would never happen with a job like my dad had. He'd have to work three jobs just to keep a roof over our head.

Well, City-Data's rules are not based on "freedom of speech". Though I can tell you many people whine about their "rights being taken away" when they get an infraction as if it is.

City-Data's rules are the TOS, with specific rules set up in some cases for an individual forum within City-Data.

Sometimes we don't like what they allow. For a real-life example, a woman is allowed to post that even though she is 60 and has had a hysterectomy and her husband has ED, she is pregnant with three winged angel children, and Jesus is the father.

But no one is allowed to tell her that she is crazy because that's against the terms of service.
