I have an honest question. Am I overlooking something? I truly do not understand why in some states, I don't even know which ones, bars, liquor stores, tattoo shops, marijuana shops and such, are allowed to stay open, but other things, like barber shops, beauty salons, restaurants, and even pharmacies are kept closed, or open with a bunch of restrictions? I really don't know why. It just doesn't make sense to me. There is just no logic to it.

Norm, It does NOT make sense to me either.

It has to be about politics, but how? How many pot users and tattoo wearers even vote? Alcohol? Yes I'm sure a lot, if not most drinkers vote, but that being said, I don't know who, or what demographic they are trying to impress.

Hate to point out the obvious, but the state makes a ton of tax money from alcohol sales, not so much on hair salons. I am quite sure that marijuana is taxed heavily as well.

What else does the state rake in the cash on? Lottery sales and gasoline come to mind. Follow the money. Always follow the money.

Great point Tip. It is an amazingly smart virus we have going now. It knows it can infect someone at Kohl's but not at Wally World, at a church but not at a protest, at a nail salon but not at the dentist as well as many other places it can and can't infect someone.
Have all of you noticed they shut down almost every business but not the government !!! Hmmmm I can get it at my place of business but not at a government office, damn it is one smart virus !!!
