Are you saying there are no local federal employees, within in the state you live?





LOL....the statement above is why this thread is 99% completely out of hand. Or better yet:

Governors have no control over Federal employees or processes in their states.

CRAP...I'm sorry, I misunderstood....that's already happened.
I see you're out of control tonight; sputtering.

My question was in regard to the new guidelines that will be issued tomorrow morning. Pence and Fauci both referenced them. They are apparently ready to go. Do you have anything intelligent to add or do you just want to continue with your whining?

I never called for Ebay to have it's business practices legally regulated. I just pointed out that what they did is anti-capitalistic in nature. And I don't think that criticizing a business is anti-capitalistic, but I guess you consider it to be "socialist" for some reason that still doesn't make sense to me.

Price gouging during an emergency (as with Hurricanes) can land you in court. Seeing an opportunity is one thing but cleaning out the stock the way they did placed many people at risk because these small mom & pop stores are their only shopping option.

He put up this message on his site.

"The Hand Sanitizer in the NYT story is being donated to a local church and first responders tomorrow."

But the Attorney General showing up to take it doesn't look like much of a "donation".

Here they still say normal people don't need to wear masks, only people in healthcare and the like, and people that already show symptoms.
I must admit though that I would feel safer wearing a mask. But they are scarce, anyway.

Oh they can talk but the "Fed's" don't have to listen unless it's Washington doing the talking. They're kinda funny that way...

Actually it is, it isn’t food water or a required resource.

They are within legal rights to sell. It’s not a requirement for sustainability, it’s a luxury.

Most presidents have never run a business. So that would make them even less qualified, according to your odd presidential value matrix. Realistically speaking though, Trump has no control over the fed's actions, nor the falling markets around the world. The fed is responding to the situation independently, and doing what they think is best. Trump may be at the helm, but you can't blame the captain of a ship for stormy waters.

You joke but my friend's mother (in her 70s) takes Robitussin to "ward off" illness.
