It's more of an order for businesses.

Our company got an exemption from the Bay Area order, let's see if we get one here too :/

I work at a race engine shop but since we have auto parts in stock we are essential. Go figure.

If this doesn't end Feinstein, only death will. Newsom should immediately demand her resignation and recall efforts should begin now.

Where does it say stuff like this is essential? One of the county orders? Because the state order certainly doesn't seem to me to imply it.

I haven't looked into the specifics of this, since the state doesn't have a very good means of enforcement, but it would empower localities to enforce this, right?

The state order seems more restrictive, I would imagine it overrides county ones?

Boss says we're working tomorrow even though I'd say it's a stretch to argue us essential. Although tomorrow's job relies on a concrete order. If concrete company is closed, tells us what we need to know I guess lol.

have you considered that jailing or fining people who violate would be

1. counterproductive to slowing transmission
2. disproportionately affect poor people who went to work despite the order
3. cause all sorts of civil liberty lawsuits

It's pretty obvious that the language and timing of this is meant to ease people into the quarantine thing.
The LA Mayor was super careful about using terminology that implied social responsibility to others and the honor system for initial enforcement, and his conference was about an hour before Newsom's.

I give it a week or two before cops start really enforcing poo poo and handing out tickets.

Yeah I mean they're letting you go outside just to exercise, and you can drive to the store for groceries. So if a cop pulls you over, what. He's gonna say you're lying about needing milk? If a nonessential business is openign anyway, yeah some kind of enforcement is possible. They're not gonna do more than just scold people who are out without an officially sanctioned reason, because if they actually started ticketing pedestrians and drivers, people would just get the word out about the valid excuses and everyone would lie.

My dad was buying food for over a week before anyone else really started doing it. He has a whole garage full of all kinds of things. My mom and my dad are both in their mid-70s.

Yesterday he tells me he went to the store just to buy some eggs and “see how things are” and tells me that things are good and that people don’t look panicked.

I remind him the point of buying all the food and staying the gently caress inside is that you’re supposed to stay the gently caress inside.

I went by Autozone last night to buy some gloves and some old dude was in there talking to the two millennial cashiers about how it's not serious & CCN stands for Constantly Negative News. Then he went off the rails about it being the fault of gay people and the folks that are "not normal, you know, more than 2 genders".

Fingers crossed he keeps going out and thinks it's not a big deal.

Good lord, every small business in California is trying to Big Brain convoluted reasons why they are essential right now. A nearby gun store/range says it's essential. Concrete company says it's essential (maybe might actually be I dunno). Gamestop is essential.


The company I work at is adjacent to automotive repair, but is not automotive repair. We do not work on cars or have car parts. We install/repair/maintain heavy equipment in the automotive sector like car lifts and air compressors. Car dealerships are our primary customer. They "need" us but only in the sense they would eventually have trouble if they didn't have us or another company installing/repairing their heavy equipment for months on end. "Automotive repair and maintenance" is on the essentials list, but I don't think you can chain together businesses like that. Otherwise that also means, for example the uniform company that washes the dealerships uniforms is also essential, and so on until basically every non-retail business in the state qualifies as "essential". I don't think it works like that. Anyone have a good bead on this that can chime in?

Businesses are between a rock and a hard place. On one hand you can send people home on unemployment and hopefully make your debt payments or equipment maintenance contract fees etc. Or keep open until the state forces you to close and keep your people people employed. People not living paycheck to paycheck are fine with staying home more so than those who can't businesses can live day to day as well. In my case I have a savings for my businesses that I can draw to keep people from losing their homes. But I can't sustain that forever. Since I'm cannabis I can stay operating indefinitely. Maybe it is the wrong thing to do. But I cannot morally allow my employees to be homeless or in danger of losing their homes.

Are you at least taking precautions to distance your employees from customers and each other, providing hand sanitizer, limiting the number of people inside at once, etc. or are you just patting yourself on the back for being a job creator?

Nah we are a closed production environment mostly b2b sales. We basically do everything outlined already. Masks hand sanitizer gloves. We deliver everything we sell so again, masks Sanny gloves. I have gallons of sanitizer/alcohol on hand for trimming and cleaning etc as a normal inventory item.

The only thing that's very difficult to enforce is the social distancing. Because it's not an easy thing to implement when subconsciously break the rule by walking by another person.
