Thank you. Just in the last couple of days, our Ohio governor has ordered many types of businesses to close either partially or completely. Many people are being thrown out of work, maybe temporarily, maybe permanently. The list of closures increased today to include such places as gyms, movie theaters, rec centers, bowling alleys, indoor water parks, and trampoline parks.
Big difference. At least seniors aren't having their Social Security checks and pension checks suddenly taken away from them. Those will still be coming in. Someone who works in the Ohio restaurant industry, and any of the additional industries that are now being closed effective at the close of business today, doesn't have that same advantage. They didn't decide to have their hours slashed to nothing or practically nothing. They're not leaving work voluntarily. It's being forced upon them with literally a few hours notice.
Do you understand that seniors are in large part the reason these working class folks are now being put out of work? Non-essential businesses in many states are now being forced to close to protect the seniors and other vulnerable members of society.
Today the governor outright said that 65 and over, pregnant women, anyone with health conditions should stay home. Of course, how many will do this? This is why every day more and more types of businesses are being ordered to close. If there's no place to go, then it forces people to stay home.
No, seniors should not get to go to the front of the line. IMO, you shouldn't get in line at all.
