Hardware stores are being allowed to stay open, because you can end up like my sister-in-law in Vancouver, Washington and have two separate leaks spring (while you're stuck at home with 3 young toddlers) during all this poo poo. Also Menards sells food. No place that sells food is being locked down.

If recreational marijuana is allowed to be open, does that mean liquor stores are also allowed? Also, if I was a liquor store owner, I would add chips for sale immediately to classify as a grocery store.

If I recall correctly, the text of the bill says something about "beverage" so I assume they can be open.

Section 12 a specifically mentions alcohol in regards to stores that can stay open. So all the Binny’s should be open.

Update from Southern Illinois: I am starting to see the Southern Illinois idiots shifting to “the cure cannot be worse than the illness” bullshit. People that own businesses are now saying that Trump is right and this needs to end soon. Another chud stating that it will not matter if Pritzker keeps us locked up. This ended up with them them talking about “people taking this into their own hands”.

I figure Trump saying yesterday that the suicides from the economic fallout of this will be worse than the virus will only embolden them. He also signaled that he WILL end all these measures come April 1st because "the United States has to be open for business to preserve this historic economic expansion."

I wonder if he would fo so far as to direct his administration to withhold funds from Illinois because the state government decides to keep these restrictions in place after Trump declares victory and that the pandemic is over in a couple weeks. It seems beyond the pale but this is hellworld after all and conventional wisdom means gently caress all.

He won't do anything like try to force states via funding. He will absolutely mock the states that stay closed every time a camera is pointed at him or he sits on the shitter to tweet. In particular if Chicago stayed shutdown while another major city did not, he probably wouldn't shut up about it.

FuturePastNow posted:Republicans would throw some the elderly into a volcano to make the stock market go up, and the remaining elderly would still vote for them after For some reason, this post really clicked something for me. Or at least made me realize how far down the rabbit hole Republicans have gone. They absolutely would throw their own in. And they’d have absolutely no problem with it unless they were the one selected to be thrown. The cult of “follow the leader” plus an unhealthy attachment to personal prosperity is just bonkers. Explains downstaters too. They’d absolutely sever Chicagoland from the rest of the state even though it’d make their outlook objectively worse. I’m sure they’d be happy though, not tied to

Pretty much. Pure “gently caress you, got mine” combined with “I will gladly live in a cardboard box in an underpass as long as I can point to someone else (a minority) without a box” and combined with “I will always have control over the situation and if it looks I will not, then I will use my current power to gently caress over anyone else who threatens my power”. I am fully expecting Trump to start shifting federal help to states that open up so that if things look bad in NY, CA, IL and WA, then he will say that this is what happens when liberals are in charge.

My wife is working on a research project that normally involves people working one on one with diabetes patients. She’s been trying to figure out how to keep it going because pausing the research means throwing away a lot of data points. It doesn’t sound like a fun time.

Course we've been sheltering in place since spring break started. 31 days is basically 8 years in this new hell timeline, so we'll see, but I told them it's probably done for the year. Also, e-learning is balls when you and your spouse also work from home full time.

Long story short, I feel like I'm not getting poo poo done for my job each day. Me too. I teach 5 different subjects (English, Computer Science, Econ, US Government and 2 different sections of US History). We have to have “office hours” where we are online in a google hangout in case any students need help. At the same time, my wife is WFH but she is on hour long conference calls every other hour. We also have a 10 year old and 8 year old (who has anxiety when it comes to doing school work - “she can never do anything”). I am 100% with you on the feeling of “I am blowing it with my classes”. Here we go for another month (and probably for the rest of the school year). The most optimistic thing about this is that I am looking at this as preparing for next fall when this happens all over again.

My employer has designated a field on our timecards for taking care of kids because of this. Basically they don't give a gently caress if you stop working because Timmy needs help with math, but technically they need (want? who knows) to keep a record of it and have put in an allowance for that.

My company has started tracking costs related to COVID-19, so it could be along those lines. It's in case there ends up being money sent out to companies impacted by the quarantines. They could claim it was lost time for employees, which increased their costs.
