"There are few things in doubt right now.
The economy is a wreck.
...And we all have different definitions on what is considered “essential.”
State governments are busy splitting hairs right now as to what is considered an “essential” business and what is not.
...And then there is Hobby Lobby.
The arts and crafts chain, along with stores like Michaels and Joann Fabrics, have remained open due to their own interpretation of essential.
While the CDC and other medical minds dither about whether face masks should be recommended to the general public, the American people have taken matters into their own hands.
With a lot of free time on their hands, and a need for personal protective equipment when the supply of such is in high demand, those who can sew have cleaned out their local fabric and craft stores to make face masks.
...Well, this has set off some local authorities, including one judge in Dallas, Texas, who decided to single out Hobby Lobby by name.
...the threat of legal action has caused Hobby Lobby to close its stores nationwide at the end of business today.
...One judge in Texas decides that Hobby Lobby isn’t essential, and yet Americans are making their own face masks because they would rather have a little personal protection than none at all. Is this an essential item?
Who gets to make that call?...
Much here, read all!
