to spray or not to spray... 🤔

I'm ok with arguing implementation. Some of it has been stupid.... jade was saying the same.

I think some of the decisions were made not as your safe at piggly wiggly but rather food is something you will need access to so it is a necessary risk. Same with home depot. I had to go there during our stay at home to get a valve to repair my shower. The other option was just letting it leak for months.

Some of the decisions were nonsensical. Like you can take a boat on the water as long as there is no engine.

That is all debatable. I've said so all along. It's a tough balance and no one right answer. Best guess.

It's the idiots that try to minimize the virus when making those arguments that are an issue. They don't know of which they speak which makes it hard to listen to what they really want..... to be able to do whatever they want. They try to change the facts to support their opinion. This virus thing is sort of real, it is brutal and it is world wide. We are still learning about it but those things are certain.

By the way tail this is a reasonable conversation. Too often it is not.

I thought of the other thing:

This whole nonsense of categorizing businesses as "essential".
We need to stop arbitrarily labeling and rather we should permit the reopening based on ability to meet certain criteria.
I don't care if you're a pharmacy. If you can't meet a reasonable and safe protocol then you shouldn't be open. And if you sell flavored cigarettes to underage kids, that's fine as long as you can do it safely.

A BBQ joint in a small town is different from a 5 star jazzy place in downtown.
Yet they're given the same status. The same time tables. Regardless of their ability to meet the new rules.

And I know it will suck for people in the big cities. But that doesn't mean everyone else should suffer unnecessarily.

This random and arbitrary labeling is counter productive. Massachusetts has screwed the pooch on this one. I can't think of a worse system and the governor is making it even worse with his last second power plays. You can't tell a business they can open on date XX, and then not offer the new regulations to allow them to open until that date arrives.
Yet here we are.
And because we're a blue state that likes to have the government stick it up our azz, we take it and ask for more.
It's pathetic.
