My last thought about this situation

Actually, Home Depot sells appliances, plumbing supplies, etc. So if your refrigerator goes out, is that not an "essential" item? If your water heater dies, is hot water "essential"? If your pipes burst, should you not be able to repair a leak and have fresh water?? Good grief.

My thoughts exactly. We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation but anything that breaks down in your house needs repairing , tools and parts ARE ‘essential’ for fixing it.

Well, yes I suppose but ,as per my friend, those purchases are rare at this time.....actually most days. He says most appliances, water heaters, etc, are purchased by contractors. If the store was closed? And something "essential" needed...I'm sure arrangement s could be made?

Well I suppose the government should have called "your friend" before making those pesky essentials decisions. :rolleyes:

Oh for shits sake, can't we have a conversation / debate without snide remarks? I only relayed what he disclosed happens on a day-to-day basis.

The man is in the store six-eight hours p/day...in the plumbing dept....I'm sure he knows what he sees.

Squatting dog, you are making a lot of ridiculous, unproven assertions in this discussion. This was yet another lie offered to the credulous "believers." You are too quick to believe every statement issued by the White House.

And you are too quick to make everything political, when it is not allowed on this forum. Your thinly-veiled insults are not necessary to this conversation.

And IMO, the corner bar or a local is essential.....gives others something to do.

A conversation/debate...? :rolleyes: You just want to argue, "for shit's sake." (Nice language, BTW.)
 
I live in Maryland and so far I've had no issue with Governor Hogan's mandates. But I can tell you, that people are just about done. My townhouse sits above a major road, and when the stay-at-home order first started, this major road was devoid of any cars. I've noticed this changing over the last week, and now there's constant traffic back on the road. Also, the fast food drive thrus which were like ghost towns up until last week, now have long lines every day.
 
I do understand what you've said SD and have thought about the same thing but it's done for our own Good. I think the govt Had To do what they did and are doing because of those who don't follow Suggestions easily and I think they are the same ones protesting.

We do have a Health Crisis on our hands, though, and really need to follow what's being instructed by our state governors so we don't have half the population die. The way this virus easily spreads along with how lethal it can be and the problems with our healthcare systems not being fully equipped for this pandemic emergency make it a crucial thing to follow the state's instructions.

By doing what is being instructed by our states' governing people and medical boards we are saving lives and that could be including our own.

What is bothering me is seeing so many on my street and at where I live not wearing masks. They could have the virus and not know it and exposing others to it, too. I would like to yell at them "Put a mask on!"
 
Re: Home Depot. About 3 weeks into this lockdown, our toilet tank cracked, rendering the toilet unusable. It proved impossible to buy just the tank because Home Depot does not stock them. We were also unable to order one to be picked up at the store, no doubt because of the lockdown. So we bought a whole new toilet. That is why Home Depot is essential. Yes, we have another bathroom, but not everyone does.

That's not essential....that's convenience....you could have turned that toilet off and waited till the store reopened.

I would have done the same as you..happy-smiley-emoticon-cartoon-giving-thumbs-up-illustration-55849949.jpg
 
The overabundance of caution would be operative word for some restrictions, but since we are a free society we can object and eventually vote the SOBs out. Trouble is my governor can't serve a third term so he'll be out anyway. The thing is, Walmart and groceries have been operating almost normally with modifications, so why can't other business with the same modifications?

Again, my point, understood this morning.
 
I don't understand this argument about Home Depot, etc. Our hardware stores are open, and the paper had an article about how business is booming at Home Depot, as people are stuck at home and can finally do all those projects they've been putting off.

Are the hardware stores closed in other states?

Well, I'll try to clarify...My comments were not against H/Depot being open. And that IMO they are no more essential than many other businesses . My Point was that more places in general should be open.....for people to work [first & foremost] .
