Who is "essential" ?
- Thread starter WeiserBucks
- Start date
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC , and all crafts necessary for the operation of a household are all allowed to travel. Since I have a marine A/C business and have customers who live on their boats, not only do I get to travel, I get to go to the lake everyday. Tough gig but somebody has to do it.
Everybody is essential that has a job or that’s why they should have the job. If one isn’t essential why are they employed to begin with? Why is the company in business? Is it a nonessential business? What is A nonessential business?
For people deemed nonessential you can bet your bottom dollar they think they are essential when the bills start rolling in.
At some point work has to start back up and the economy has got to get going again - virus be damned. After 4-6 weeks this game is going to change dramatically if we as a nation are still stuck in this position. Just my 0.02.

I'm essential...ly working from home. Most of my job is done on a computer. I could do 90% of my job from home, but employer wouldn't let us....until now. ?

What - Who that is essential, is what your local government decides and thinks . Here in our local N.W. corner . Tax Gathering is still #1 .
After the Oregon Gov. had a 'dim' light bulb go off over it's head, with it's Suicide Economics Flu strategy . but now .. All of the sudden has a loving Heart for these establishment and people trying to make a living, after the Governor ( kate brown ) closes these businesses plus a Stay home' Order .
Our Governor, In attempt to still gain profits for State Tax's gathered From these sales . ( bending the Law ) , with No Red Tape, emergency passes Curbside Deliveries legal Now, of all your Alcohol and Weed needs . The Oregon Governor and OLCC with Jack-Boot rule's Oregon with an Iron fist for all, Alcohol, Tobacco, Weed and Gambling, with strictest control of the wholesale, retail, licensing and taxing for all .

Got out of there 20 years ago and not looked back, despite generally liking it. Wife’s family is still there but older. Let’s just say I have zero intentions of being a landlord for any properties left to us.
That dude who made a billion bad life decisions who is at the gas station yet knows exactly what Skoal I want.
At least one of my local gun dealers/ranges will be open, email from them.......

Well on the up side ,it might keep people home on the couch instead of out and about. .
The temperature is going to be in the 80's this week. As an HVAC guy I will say that everyone in this business is essential. People would sell their car and their first child to get the A/C working. Not so much for the heat but if the A/C is not working. People get homicidal.
I think it's safe to say you've already been deemed "non essential "....just sayin
I work from home so nothing changes other than I don't have to visit HQ in San Fran for a bit and my house is full of my wife and kids so I swear a lot more...LOL
Central Houston here. If 59/69 was normally like I saw it today, the burbs, or further out where I hunt, would definitely be a consideration!
Steel Mill is still pumping out steel . We're all fortunate enough to still be working . But , this Social Distancing shit on the job is getting old real fast ! Funny thing is , neighbors know I'm still going to work and treat me like the plegue ! LOL !
Not sure if I am essential or not. Had a chat with the supervisor of the Union Pacific Jenks Shop today...
Me:"Hey, I was wanting to ask you about this letter you're are giving you suppliers. Are we getting one?"
Him:" No, that only applies to suppliers that come on site. We come to you so you won't be getting one."
Me: "And if I am closed who is gonna fix that hydraulic cylinder you are going to bring me and always seem to be in a rush to get back because you need it to get a locomotive put back in service?"
Him: "Uhmmm, let me call you back..."
Me: "Okey dokey."
I think we get our letter tomorrow.

My hometown LGS is doing drive up business. Designated parking spots, text a number, and wait for their reply to enter the store. Only 3 people allowed in at a time.
I have a letter from my employer and a confirmation from The Government that I am a "Critical Infrastructure Provider"...I have my "Papers" for when they stop me.
I'm designated as Critical Infrastructure but my paycheck says otherwise.
VooDoo

Your papers please.
We are getting a first hand real life look at who actually really cares about freedom, liberty, the constitution, personal choice and personal responsibility and who are the sheep that happily bleat for the strong firm hand of the tyrant to give them the illusion of safety as they all go broke, starve and loose everything to the global banking elites, while of course ganging up on anyone that thinks for themselves.
Interesting how everyone is all happy to have the local gestapo out in force "for the public good".
Well if this is a test run for when the Communists want to fully take power and run your lives down to the smallest part, well it's off to a great start.
Everyone will be happy to have you banned from work and starving because their masters said so.

I worked from home back in the 1990's as a systems subcontractor.
One year, I took a contract that required me to be on call 24/7 beside my computer. Not once did I step outside my door for an entire year.
Literally.
This stuff is a yawn.
