Did you know that in New Hampshire – plant nurseries are considered an essential business while many states still consider golf courses open as an essential outdoor recreation activity. 

In an article from Washington Post titled: What’s ‘Essential’ Anyway? Roses, Guns, Manicures, Marijuana – It All Depends On Who’s Deciding by Karen Heller. 

We’re in Week Five of quarantine and Americans are still confused why recreational marijuana dispensaries are still open while bars and restaurants are closed. 

To put this into perspective – many decisions are left to governors in consultation with state officials as well as mayors to decide what’s considered essential. 

Not surprisingly – many of the discord between some governors and mayors is because of their opposing political views. 

As Heller puts it – Times are tense. Politics are constant. Logic is often elusive. 

Millennials – you must understand that this isn’t like natural disasters—like earthquakes, hurricanes, or wildfires striking a specific state or region. 

Never in modern history have all 50 states simultaneously declared an emergency. 

During this pandemic at the start of April – Amazon workers in Michigan walked off the job requesting that the facility be closed for selling DILDOS. 

You heard that right – DILDOS!
