Arbitrary rules
So, I get it. Jewel, Publix and Kroger are essential industries and must remain open. After all, we gotta eat. But the Dollar Store? Oh, sure they do sell Pop Tarts and Fruit Loops, but if they can be open (and they are) then why not TJ Maxx and Home Goods? After all they sell caramel corn and orange marmalade.
Why are they not open using the same guidelines in place at Home Depot and Menard's? Does anyone question the push back when the rules imposed by our "leaders" are arbitrary, discriminatory and capricious? Upon only casual scrutiny the rules imposed by our governor and mayor simply look bad and don't pass the smell test.
