Is this stupid or not?

Some local governments in the US have barred "essential" stores, such as grocery chains or big-box retailers, from selling "nonessential" items such as clothing and toys.

It's not stupid. It limits the distance and time a shopper can spend in that closed environment, minimizing exposure to others and from others. Additionally, it minimizes the surface area touched by a potentially infectious shopper.

The US has to get over itself and we should start remembering what is essential and not essential, open material good end behavior.

@Graylight I get it. I just think that most people are still working and they might need to buy clothing. Underwear even? No?

I said it before, I’m unemployed so I don’t need clothes but others might.

@SimplyTracie Then they go online to do it you can still buy everything you want online

@SW-User That’s true. I buy most stuff online. Still others don’t shop online. 🤷‍♀️

@SimplyTracie Everyone is having to adapt to the circumstances we are all in and clothes and toy shops should not be open

@SW-User Exactly. I'm not sure when this nation turned into such a collective group of children. We're asking you to take a staycation. Try weathering a category 4 + hurricane and spending the next 35 days with no air conditioning or power. Then imagine that instead of picking up hair dye at Walmart your concern was having a full bucket of water to flush a toilet. Sleep in a 95 degree weather with full humidity and rain.

You are not being inconvenienced by being kept from manicure tools at CVS.
