-Removed-Sneaky? How is asking this question sneaky?
Apparently you are not concerned with the state subjectively determining who can earn a living now and who cannot based on being labeled essential.
But then, like the abortion thread, you would deem all abortions essential, but have no problem patients being turned down for other procedures you don't deem essential.
You are a fascist and hypocrite as the blood of millions of children are on your hands for supporting such genocide.
But hey, you don't believe in a hell or a God who would dare judge such genocide harshly. Maybe you picture Hitler as your neighbor in heaven, so what do you care?
@whodey saidYou Americans get your knickers in. Twist about the silliest things.

You Europeans I guess are just used to it.
@whodey saidI would suspect that a family's "bread winner" is essential to the family to eat food and maintain a domicile.
Are you or is what you do deemed "essential"?
Who has the constitutional power to decide?
Government can sometimes take the view that people are dispensable based on their value to the community, like bees in a hive.
Regrettable. And a treatment that can lead to civil insurrection.
@earl-of-trumps saidWhat an amazingly hypocritical argument. Right wingers here have been arguing that hundreds of thousands of lives are "dispensable".

Luckily, I'm not the bread winner for the family. I'm just a part-timer.

@whodey saidWhat has the constitution got to do with this question?

It’s pretty obvious, all you have to do is think about it and I bet you could pretty much come up with the list yourself. Go on try it I promise it won’t hurt.
I’ll give you a clue try to figure out which items and services you need in order survive in the medium term, not ‘want’ but ‘need’.

@earl-of-trumps saidHave a word with your President, people should be getting furloughed ( paid 80% of their average income ) not left to rot.

It’s not an easy task for any government and some people will struggle and lose income but other countries have, and are managing to do it.

@whodey saidWhere did all them injuns go and oh yeah how is your national guard getting on during the lockdown. I don’t know of any democratic European nation that has an armed militia outside of the police just waiting to put the people down should they step out of line.

You Europeans I guess are just used to it.
You do realise that ‘American Exceptionalism’ is and always was a self delusion?

If you wish to be proud of this then so be it.
Luckily you had Churchill, but that is about it.
