Small Businesses Need to Contract
Muda69 replied to a topic in Gridiron Out of Bounds's Out of Bound Forum
That is the obvious and logical implication from the blanket and utopian statement "Life is better when we’re all successful." Whoever accused me of not wishing people success? I'm not. Has the business you currently own contracted due to the coronavirus scare? -
So I guess FDA approval is the pinnacle of safety and efficacy when it comes to medications. “FDA approval is based on evidence — provided by the company that makes the medical product — that the benefits of the product outweigh the risks for most patients for a specific use. It doesn’t necessarily mean the product is safe.” - Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Center for Health Research

And like I said the world isn't fair, it never will be. Therefore not everyone will reach the level of "success" they may personally reach to attain. -

The world isn't fair, so therefore not all can be "successful". Get used to it. -

I'm sorry, you closed? For good? An essential business as defined by the state? -

Are you lucky enough to be labeled an "essential business" by Mr. Holcomb, IO? -

Nanny government is coming to bail everyone out. Of course the ultimate cost of these possibly multiple bailouts will be born by our children and grandchildren, so nobody really cares. The federal government is nearing the limit of what it can borrow. How many $2 trillion dollars checks do we think Uncle Sam can cash? -
When this is all over, don’t expect politicians to lose their taste for ordering us around.: https://reason.com/2020/03/23/with-covid-19-that-which-is-not-forbidden-is-mandatory-and-subsidized/ Forget that government officials' idea of "critical" may not match yours (Reason's Eric Boehm points out that politicians may disdain laundromats, but they're a necessity for many people). Forget, too, that you can't shut down parts of an economy without affecting the whole thing. The politicians don't care, and they'll enforce their whims: violation of the California order is a misdemeanor, "punishable by a fine of not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment for not to exceed six months or by both." States including Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, threaten similar penalties for not obeying government orders. Of course, smothering whole sectors of the economy, and maybe the whole thing, might end up being a bit pricey. We should get ready for "a tsunami of economic destruction that will cause tens of millions to lose their jobs as commerce and production simply cease," the Wall Street Journal editorial board warns. Not to worry, the government has a plan. Another plan, that is. After ordering people to close businesses and having killed jobs, while threatening to nationalize procurement for the healthcare industry, government leaders want to make it all better by moving money around to offset the losses. With a price tag closing in on $2 trillion, Democrats and Republicans are competing to stuff favored corporate bailouts, interest-group payoffs, unemployment benefits for those forcibly sidelined, and more, more, more! The ultimate result will be to transform a more-or-less free society, driven by individual preferences and private decision-making, into one in which planning is centralized and costs are shifted according to governmental priorities. You can assume that some calculation will be built into that spending, too – rewards for friends and punishment for enemies, as is always the case in politics. That is, we're becoming a country in which much of what we do is both mandatory and subsidized. When this is all over, don't expect politicians to lose their taste for ordering us around. That's a hard habit to break. You can be certain, though, that they'll want us to thank them profusely for the checks they cut to offset some of what they inflict on us. Exactly. America is quickly becoming a police state, and a lot of it won't end once this COVID-19 scare is over. After all what will happen when "COVID-20" comes around, we need to keep all of these restrictions, rules, and regulations in place so we will be better prepared. Right?

So you work at a Dry Cleaners or an Office Max? : https://www.in.gov/coronavirus/2496.htm An interesting list. Our optometrist office called last night at like 9pm wondering if we could reschedule two appointments that we had for next week to Tuesday afternoon, 3/24/2020, in an attempt to get around Mr. Holcomb's ban.

You obviously don't know many libertarians. How is living like a sheep in your mom's basement going? She still bringing you meals? And exactly how does the "being tested" automatically equate to "testing positive". Does the article state Mr. Paul visiting the gym after testing positive for COVID-19? Your SJW and TDS is showing again.
