MODERATORS
If I learned anything durring covid it's that basically every business is "essential".
Yep. Company I work for didn’t miss a day of work because our boss had the HR manager make up a certificate for us to all put in our cars telling the police that we were considered ‘essential’.
I don’t think we are, but hey ho.
When I read the shelter in place order from my governor, its definition of "essential businesses" was so broad it would have been shorter to list businesses not covered.
Exactly. The only thing COVID changed was that all the resturants became carry out only. The only things I can think of that actually closed were bars.
In my area, fitness clubs closed as well
It's essential for the bottom line.
Yep.
Watching my 19yo niece wake up every morning to go work at the breakfast restaurant during the pandemic because she was essential.
My 60yo mom waking up to work at the pastries factory with hundreds of other people during the pandemic because she was essential.
