I work at a steel fabrication shop. Some of our customers supply products to .mil, raw industry, and power generation. I'm grateful to be able to go to work and make my way, while ensuring someone else down the line is employed.

These fucking politicians and the media have completely turned the country upside down over a virus that can't be controlled no matter what we do.

Exactly....they are drawing their fat paychecks but have no problem ruining the lives of working folks who depend on a regular paycheck!

Same here. The County Judges in this area are pretty much shutting down the restaurant businesses. Right as summer is arriving. Untold thousands will be financially ruined by said order. Yet I bet each of them calls for a pay raise next year as a reward for their self-proclaimed "brave efforts" in all this.

That is absolutely essential. Keep priorities in order, please.

Local Dunkin' Donuts joints are open for drive-through and carry-out, no sit down and eat, not inside, not at the outside tables.

In my area, liquor stores, cell phone stores and nurseries/garden centers are allowed to be open but no gun stores or shooting ranges. My club has closed both the indoor and outdoor ranges.
