The examples are queueing up rapidly of the Democrat left exploiting this horrible situation, not only for the usual political purposes, but also to impose themselves on the American people in eggregiously hurtful and offensive manner. This is just one example on an increasingly long list.

They really do seem to take satisfaction from putting the little people under their thumb.

A lot of people are still operating out of panic and fear, but that becomes tiresome and wears off after a while. If this continues to happen, the fear will morph into anger and rage. While there could be isolated acts of violence, the larger and more lasting reaction is more likely to be at the ballot box in November.

So, who is for freedom and prosperity of these people, and who is for inciting fear in order to justify locking them down - to their financial detriment - for as long as possible?

There is your choice in November.

Tell me why Shelly is a hero and these women are criminals.
I never even heard about the case, but it was wrong for them to be arrested too, and in a sting operation no less. Weird thing to do in Laredo. Perhaps the problem for them is that they’re not legal citizens of this country, which does add a little wrinkle. But honestly I feel real sorry for all of them who aren’t able to work or get the stimulus payment.

In this article she acknowledges that she received her loan Sunday.

I’m a she, and I am white myself. I don’t hate Shelley Luther because she’s white. I pointed out that her status as a blond white woman is what has made her a darling of the right. I don’t hate her period. I think she’s an opportunist and a liar and has scammed people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Well ... you did a bit more than that. You kinda vomited a personal dossier on the lady earlier in this thread, commenting on her marital status, her children, her vacation history, and even the family pets. You seem to have a problem with wealthy white women who have been married more than once and take cruises and keep exotic pets. And you slapped the whole story with an ugly racist comparison to another story on top of that that nobody here had even heard about.

We get it. You don’t like this woman. It seems more of a personal thing than anything else.

You think too much. Her skin or hair color has absolutely nothing to do with why people support her. Many of my Democrat friends support her too.

The truth is:

Fewer than 50 percent of hair salons are still open, according to BehindtheChair.com. Of those that remain open, stylists have had their hours severely cut and must adhere to rigorous new sanitary practices. Gretchen Everton, a hair stylist and sales consultant with Salon Service Group in Tulsa, said one salon she works with had clients sit in their cars while their hair color processed to avoid having more than 10 people inside at once.

Salon is no more dangerous, than a busy grocery store.

This said, One of the key challenges for small businesses is access to cash. Running any business is a risky endeavor; however, small businesses are particularly vulnerable.

In order to combat this short-term challenge, small business owners should advocate for efforts to provide immediate liquidity and keep businesses solvent.

I posted earlier, the Federal government's financial support was held up for weeks due to partisan bickering. Many small business owners probably were really back into a corner.

It is a decision time for many of them.

Hmmm, maybe that was intentional to stop her from going to her business. Honestly I wouldn’t put it past these people anymore.

There is no national order only guidelines, that is why the response of the states is so disparate.
Even state orders are just guidelines.
