And the prisons would respond by saying "nah" and going for an injunction or whatever while they sued. And if they were in certain states and that all failed, I'm confident they'd just ignore the order. Either outright, or "there's a lot of paperwork we gotta do first."

My local Stop and Shop posted up signs saying that between the hours of 6 and 8 pm only people over 60 will be allowed to shop there. Special elderly hours they call it. I don't really care but is that legal? Certainly eyebrow raising. If they want to put all the boomers together in the same primordial soup then I'm cool staying outta there honestly.

In California a ton of grocery stores are doing that, and I think it's being encouraged by the state.

Oh whup, Massachusetts. I know labor law here has over 40 as a protected class at least.

It feels kinda hosed up if you're someone younger who has to work a normal 9-5 and can't pick up food on the way home.

edit: Oh I see, it's actually 6am to 8am in the morning, I guess that's less screwy, it's so old people can buy poo poo before us whippersnappers beat them up and steal their TP.

In CA they're making the first hour of being open the old-people hours, like 8-9AM or something, and the idea is to make sure not all the just stocked products have been hoarded before the old people get a chance at them... although I think that's better done with per-customer limits on items.
e.g.,

With regard to public accommodations (e.g., store customers) neither Massachusetts nor the Federal government treat age as a protected class. So in this case the elderly hour is both legal and moral.

e: California hasn't made age a protected class for public accommodations either.

Doctor Party Woohoo!
I think the other big reason is that old people are dramatically more effected by the disease than younger people. Not necessarily that they get it more often but they have serious consequences from it more often. So by having a specific time for them to be there it limits their exposure to the general population. (Any study showing infection rate will be way skewed because asymptomatic people won't tend to get tested when those dying will...so younger people who tend to get it but do not get seriously ill from it will always be under represented in data sets.) Also as someone mentioned the store is it's cleanest early. They also have an ability to get items they probably actually need before the hoarders raid through.

I love how even in the twilight of their lives boomers are demanding to be catered to and finding a way to be coddled, destroying the economy and loving everybody younger than them out of their jobs and houses and investments yet again, like it wasn’t enough to have set the world on an irreversible path toward annihilation—they wanted to do it while they were still alive, one last time to gently caress the rest of us over before checking out of this mortal coil forever

Well my roommate wrote me a letter in the third person saying he was looking for another place to live, but noted twice this did not constitute notice of intent to vacate. So I guess I don't have to evict him.

Write him a letter in the third person titled 'Notice of non-intention to evict' saying you're looking for another tenant, but note twice this does not constitute notice of intent to evict.

I know this was asked already but I can't find it, what's the course of action when your company falsely claims your job is vital, despite not actually being classified as vital? Also, can companies really force you to use sick time when the company is shut down?
