    Are you sure that it was legislation to FORCE them to do it? Wouldn't they all WANT to do it if they were able to get the liquor license?

    Well that list is 13,324 jobs, not a million. Also, why the hell am I seeing a RETAIL job in that list if your city is locked down?
    It says that the ad is 30 days old, but you've been locked down for longer than that haven't you?

    No. Thats not 13k + total jobs. That's 13k + advertisements, often for multiple positions open per advertisement, so after factoring that in it's way higher. Plus all my links considered shows well over 120k advertising for job openings.

    retail Jobs are mostly essential in NY: Walmart, Target, Stop and Shop etc are all essential. Read my NY State link for clarification that's the hell why.

    Not to mention tens of thousands of remote jobs.

    trump didn't do anything of the kind... he challenged the person that spoke previously to his comment...

    context is everything, yet media and their parishioners twist for personal gains...

    so a government official wants to allow movie theaters to sell alcohol, and you see nothing wrong with this?
    same official closes all churches, yet keeps alcohol flowing (liquor stores are essential, bars can now sell alcohol for curbside pickup, restaurants can sell alcohol for take out...

    interesting...

    btw, dems governors have also closed up all 'mom & pop' shops, kept all major corporation owned stores open, canceled all non-essential doctor visits (including regular check-ups) while abortion clinics remain wide open, firearm/ammo shops forced to close, yet conglomerate owned sporting goods stores remain open...

    notice the trend?

    nearly all conservative valued businesses have been deemed non-essential...

    wake up...

    smell the coffee...

    Right, they can't go back to work at their regular job because that's too dangerous yet it's okay if they go to work as an essential worker. Does this make any sense?

    Risk assessment and mitigation are key for essential worker context; it now makes sense.

    Not really but nice try. If someone can work an essential job, they can work their usual job.

    pelosi sniffling, hacking, wiping her nose on the podium is 'ok' , yet...
    • someone wearing a mask & gloves in church is taboo...
    • someone wearing a mask & gloves in a stationary store is taboo
    • someone wearing a mask & gloves in a firearms shop is taboo
    • someone NOT wearing any protection at all is ok at the abortion clinic
    • someone not wearing any protection is ok at the liquor store
    see a trend here?

    are any votes being 'bought' here?

    Wrong. Essential jobs have more protections. Also they are more necessary.

    Imagine going to the hospital and there are no "essential workers" there; no doctors, nurses, CNA's, support staff.....or your house catches fire and no one shows up because no essential workers are permitted out. Certain jobs are essential to the the public wellbeing. On the other hand, why is a gun shop essential? or barber shop? or office worker? People can get along without those businesses functioning.

    I wasn't saying that it was right or wrong, I was just asking you if you're sure that it was legislation to FORCE them to do it. Are you sure?

    Well I'm a church goer myself and I'm unable to go at the moment and I can see why - churches are places where lots of people gather indoors in close proximity for at least two hours on average. This is different from liquor stores, although, to designate them as 'essential' is a hilarious joke, if indeed the government has done that. While there is SOME risk in any retail business such as a liquor store, I can't see a risk with bars doing curbside pickup and restaurants selling takeaway alcohol. So is there actually a list that New York and other states come up which lists what essential businesses are or non-essential businesses, or even both?

    My only guess here is that these "major corporation owned stores" that you refer to are the ones which are alot bigger than the others, providing more space for physical distancing - big department stores being an example. However, if what you're telling me is that some of these shops are no bigger than some of the 'mom & pop' shops that you refer to, then that's obviously a complete disgrace. I also wonder what products these major corporation owned stores sell. And there's obviously an argument to be made that these 'mom & pop' shops should be treated the same as ANY shop which aren't the big spacious ones, but of course, liquor stores are still open - so that's inconsistent. In Australia, we have a few giant liquor stores which would make sense to allow to remain open, but in general they're smaller ones, perhaps pretty similar to the average US one.

    I'm anti-abortion, but the fact is that it's legal - and it goes without saying that with abortion, time is of the essence, with eventually a baby coming out, at which point an abortion cannot occur. And it can't always occur when enough weeks of pregnancy has passed obviously.

    Wouldn't some of those sporting goods stores sell guns? If so, then that's inconsistent.

    I'll be able to make a judgement once you provided the necessary clarification.

    I'm already AWAKE!

    Well that's assuming that multiple jobs ads aren't on more than one website! And even if there are 120k jobs
    available out there, that's not a million is it? So I'm confused why you're still continuing with such a losing battle.
