Are we really defining essential businesses properly ?

Road works poppin in New Jersey... I worked on the nj turnpike last night, it’s eerie seeing hardly any traffic right now.
in pa the dot closed down for now. What’s considered Essential in some states isn’t essential in others. Honestly doin road work thru this pandemic has kept my mind off of it. Not being stuck at home with the news on pumpin fear into me constantly 24/7. We work in crews of 3-8, all huddled up around each other not missing a beat, 8 hours of not social distancing ..

Im young and have a heart condition and countless people have told me to goto my doctor and get him to write me something up saying to lay me off and collect the $600 unemployment kuz I’m high risk for a few months.
I have 0 intention of bitchin out of work if it’s there .
As long as the nj dot stays open I’m gonna keep doing my thing as an essential worker

weird name, but you sound like a stellar guy !

best wishes

Where I am East end of Long Island there are summer time #s with influx of population. I have a seasonal business . Normally I’m busy now but not insanely busy. It’s insane right now everyone wants there pool open guess it’s something to do other then sit there and order take out. If I stay home I lose my customer because that’s reality. I’ts frustrating because you pull up in people’s yards and full blown landscape crews are there. Obviously the people in the house are really not to interested in others social distancing because no matter the pandemic there yards have to be pristine. I’m not a whistle blower the reality is life goes on and once people realize that there way of life is compromised it’s time to wake up and believe in them self . Blaming and depending on government for any answer is a fucking joke. You want to believe in something grow a pair and believe in yourself because at the end of the day the mirror is looking right back at you.

Ditto to everything you said, brendan.
