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.
i dont complain when i get an infraction because i understand that the constitutions restrictions applies to the government, not private citizens or businesses. the only thing i would say is that most people have bought into the concept of free speech so they often prefer people be allowed to say offensive things even if they can be banned from doing so in a particular forum.
i think its good to let people like snapster speak so that we are aware of the differing points of view out there. if you only here speech you approve of, you can go on without realizing that opposing views are out there.
New Jersey’s hospitals reported 3,405 patients with confirmed or suspected coronavirus cases as of Tuesday night — a 58% drop from the peak of 8,084 on April 14.
At the state’s 71 hospitals, there are less than 1,000 people in intensive or critical care and 750 people on ventilators — using about a quarter of the state’s ventilator capacity, according to the data.
“These three data sets – hospitalizations, ICU and ventilator counts – are the most-significant known metrics which influence our thinking about where we are on our road back," Gov. Phil Murphy said during his daily coronavirus briefing in Trenton. “These are concrete numbers which speak both to improving overall public health and improving conditions, clearly in our hospitals.”
Murphy has said the hospitalization number is the best real-time indicator of the status of the outbreak and a key measure he would use to continue to loosen restrictions put in place to slow the virus’ spread.

I really hope Sweeney challenges him in the Dem primary next year.
That is exactly what this all boils down to. Just think of the thousands of people working from home that would normally have grueling commutes into NYC every day. Now they get to roll out of bed at 8am and work in their pajamas. If I was in that situation I would love for the stay at home order to continue forever. No wonder the governor's approval rating is so high. It has nothing to do with keeping people safe.

My "small business" was deemed "essential".
The months of both March and April? Every day (we cut the hours of operation down to 8 vs. 13) has been like NYE. Over 100K UP in sales for both months - and most of May, as well.
Now, this week, heading up to what is a typically busy holiday weekend, sales have dropped off (back to normal). Folks are running out of their stimulus dollars and that extra $600/week in UE is going toward paying their real bills. The party is over.
They'll soon be demanding that they get back to work AT their jobs that they can't earn an income from while sitting in their PJs @ home.

Your reply, however, certainly does. Don't assume that because you post while drunk, everyone else does, too.
Edited to add: Maybe you, like many others who aren't business owners, don't understand the difference between sales vs. profit margin (did you sleep through your college accounting classes?). We run at a 22-25% profit margin depending on the item. You buy a $100 item? After all of the bills are paid, that's maybe $25 of profit. $100K in sales doesn't equal $100K in my bank account.

ok genius, since you choose to answer a question with another question:
ansky's post, #488 in this thread, which you quoted as what you were responding to, discussed people working from home.

Murphy will win again because the sheeple and the TDS' are in great numbers in NJ IMO.
Sweeney although a dem isn't Murphy who's the sheeple's / TDS' "lord and master" IMO.
