"Operation Gridlock" protest underway at State Capitol

[Linc]

How about Lotto tickets - also deemed "essential" in MI.

Are Lotto tickets sold at Grocery Stores where literally dozens of Baggers and Cashiers have died due to Covid?

The cult wants to pretend protests are "erupting" because a handful of cultists organize a flash mob.

 

[trixare4kids]

Ah, so you grow grapes to sell to a wine maker. Your vineyard has been described by yourself in various ways, including how you ordered vines in January and completed your plantings by June 15th.

Where did I write what you alleged though?

Oh, that's right. I didn't.
There goes your previous drivel right down the :toilet:

Most of the people working to keep food on the table are tax paying non citizens, ineligible for a subsidy, and working without benefits. Let's give them some grateful applause.

Police officers, firemen, postal workers, grocery store owners, hospital workers, truckers, shipping company workers, packaging company workers, drug company workers, bankers, journalists, and hundreds of others still working at their own risk to keep Americans alive and safe only work because they are tax paying non citizens? No, I suspect they do it more out of a sense of duty and for love love.

Oh but, God forbid some average Joe while out doing his weekly grocery shopping at a big box store asks to buy seeds for his spring vegetable garden.

Oh the humanity!

Instead, they'll have 1,000's of people running around stores asking employees what can and can't be bought. How many of them will know? And the confusion doesn't stop there...

You can go for a walk but you can't play golf. You can mow your own yard, but you can't mow somebody else's yard. You can use a canoe to go fishing, but you can't use a motorboat. You can get your motorcycle serviced, but not your bicycle...

They better be, the've been deemed essential.

The governor's order is one big cluster ****.

But vegetables seeds aren't essential.

Oh the irony...

I alleged that your livelyhood is based on selling wine to people you disparage. Whether you make the wine (which I always doubted) or just try to sell your crop to an actual vineyard is besides the point. But do keep up your normal tap dancing to distance yourself from your own words. It is entertaining. The tap dancing drivel sisters...

 

[Julianna123]

The working poor very often can't do that. Your statement here reminds me of an essay I read many years ago and whose title I can no longer call that was written by a woman who grew up in terrible poverty who explains why "The poor? They can at least be clean!" just isn't always true.

I know. One of my sisters works as a housekeeper in a resort town. She is having trouble getting on the website for unemployment. I think that is a more valid reason to protest then not being able to buy seeds. I was being sarcastic with my statement. My other sister with asthma works at Walmart and is torn between her far right conservationism and the moronic behavior that she witnesses every day.

Funny how they are mostly Trump supporters, and they make it obvious. They are most likely energized, because Trump is convinced opening the economy will help him. It’s all about Trump. These protestors are mostly interested in getting Trump re-elected, and that’s what this is about

They are also exposing themselves to getting a highly contagious disease that has a fairly high mortality rate.

Good try to obfuscate what you posted before. The people working in the fields, processing the food, working in the meat plants are also unsung heroes who rarely have their praises sung. Deny them once again with some other dodge.

 

[Bodi]

I'm confused, why can't they buy dirt, seeds and clothes?
I was able to get all that plus delivered to me.
Sounds like a bunch of people that just want to complain for the sake of complaining.
I guess they have nothing to do.

There are millions of people just trying to survive, with no Internet, with gang activity still going on, with abusive household members... remember, and I include myself in this, it is pretty easy to sit here on the Internet with our mostly Internet savvy, middle to upper middle-class incomes/savings and scold people for not figuring it out or this or that...

The tap dancing drivel sisters? You mean there's two of you???

God help us all... :2sick1:

It's refreshing to read the above from someone who actually gets it.

eta: thread winner

I agree but who knows, just maybe some without masks already recovered from the virus.

 

[Taylor]

It should not be any secret to thinking people that many many citizens have come to rely on a drink now and then to take off the edge...

Yeah, but screw those people who might turn to something like gardening for the same reason. Screw the woman who uses gardening as an escape from being stuck inside with an abusive husband. JMR has spoken - wine spritzers are essential. Growing your own produce is not.

Why do democrat lawmakers encourage illegals to enter the country by the tens of thousands, only to be illegally used for manual labor while squeezing US tax dollars our of them for their illegal labor? Why don't democrats just change the law to help those poor immigrants get legal jobs instead of underpaid dirt jobs?

If you are really interested, this will put things into perspective.

Considering there's a possible risk of re-infection, it's still not a good idea. Not to be in a crowd, anyway. Just protest in your car, if you really want to do that.

We'll have to start talking about how we're gonna get ourselves out of our houses, and trying to get back to our lives. I'm sure that these social distancing guidelines won't go away (and probably shouldn't); it's probably gonna be us taking these precautions like wearing masks outside, staying away from huge gatherings, and still trying to go about our business and open things back up. I'm no expert, so I can't exactly say when it's a good time for that.

Or the guy that wants to get out because of his psychotic abusive wife... but on the topic it turns out our liquor stores have closed except for online ordering. They were open and considered 'essential' initially. :lol: I thought that was ridiculous.

Oh do revisit your conversation with Vesper about how you would be so upset if you could not plant your vines due to some Government interference such as in Michigan.

Two of me might make you blanch I'm sure. Maybe your little friend can recite another nursery rhyme or silly song for you.

 

[RAMOSS]

The virus doesn't care about 'if , then and maybe', and about 15 percent of people who recover seem to be able to be reinfected. , although that couple be false positives, or they didn't fully recover and became asymptomatic anyway

 

[CharisRose]

I have always marveled at your ability to entertain yourself with drivel. It is very cool in some other universe I am sure. As always, have fun entertaining your side kick.

Remember ending your post with the words “Have Fun”? Don’t like the drivel then don’t add the “Have Fun” ending. My universe is a happy zone.

I was entertaining you... since you (not Trix) was the one who wanted me to “Have Fun”.

Get real! Only in lalaland would Trix be someone’s side kick!

Keep posting to me and I will sing... do ya, do ya wanna be my “Have Fun” side kick permanently?

I have said since day 1 that we won't see how bad it is until India has to deal with it. That place is a ****hole and have a half of a billion people (if not more) living in abject poverty.
