Dipshit moron Brian Kemp will open most crowded businesses in Georgia starting Friday (restaurants, salons, bowling alleys, and more!)
- Thread starter Speevy
- Start date
A lot of people don't want their loved ones to get sick and possibly die. Yeah people bitch about going stir crazy and wanting to go out and do stuff but a lot of folks really do not want to risk the safety of their friends and family. Its not everyone and you got your right wing zealots trying to do the exact opposite but many people of all sorts are still taking this very seriously.
Who would've thought all but the most hardcore right had a sense of self-preservation and didn't want to die just keep a few stores open?
All red states are gonna do is raise the death toll. Most people aren't going to go shopping or bowling for a long time.
Hair salons don't really employ people traditionally do they?
The question is do the hair stylists come back.
I kind of expect this to lead to packed restaurants, hairdressers, bowling alleys, whatever, for the first day to a week as the edge case people who just want to prove that things are fine and exercise their 'freedom' rush out all at once to do celebrate the defeat of tyranny or what the fuck ever they've pitched these shutdowns as.
I don't see it lasting long term, but it does create an opening for Kemp and friends to blame Democratic fearmongering for keeping people from patronizing businesses and killing small business or w/e.
Basically in my head paces are going to be packed just enough to set off a ton of new infections, then clientele dies out and a lot of these businesses can't cut a profit. Only, without the shutdown and emergency, it's less likely they'll get financial assistance and they go under anyway. Just with a higher body count.

IF anyone lives in Georgia and getting asked back to work, please demand some hazard pay and/or extensive health coverage. Make them realize that if you're getting sent to the slaughter at least get a fighting chance or some reward.

"But how can we pray if they won't let us go to church?"

They're already doing that with our school teachers for extra duties.
That will be enough. In 2-3 weeks parts of GA will have huge outbreaks.

Atlanta businesses are either going to lose tons of money or have tons of "Closed for Quarantine' signs on their doors in a few weeks.
A lot of them don't want to open. Most customers don't want to go in.
Here in Columbus I wonder if people will go to these establishments.

Yeah, that struck me, too. Have a lot of friends on FB that mindlessly echo a lot of conservative talking points, and even they've all been like "uhhhh, this seems like a really bad idea."
RIP Georgia. It will be interesting in 20 years when we send in the scientists and paramilitary forces to the remains of Atlanta to discover you all have been turned into Chimera.

So Fauci was probably the last person he talked to before going up on the air today.
Yesterday it was a Kemp.
What a piece of shit. Literally incite people to protest for governors to open up business during a pandemic and then say states shouldn't be opening when one plans to.
Trump doesn't believe that. He's saying what he thinks will earn him adoration. Most people in Georgia- meaning his constituents- disagree with Kemp. And since Kemp's stupid decision to reopen is Kemp's own, he can easily throw him under the bus.
Trump and Kemp fucking suck.
Oh yeah, definitely. Our company just got a notification that we are still WFH through all of May. We aren't going anywhere.
A lot of people haven't grasped the reality of the situation. Whats the point of protesting a shutdown when demand doesn't magically appear when we open up? There is no business as usual until the vaccine. For some reason it might take opening back up for the reality check to hit people.

In one day? Not likely. In a few weeks when people see how terrible this is? Sure.
Kemp made a citywide human transmutation circle around Atlanta and he's activating it Friday 👀👀👀
They'll blame it on all the urban centers, make thinly veiled insinuations that black people weren't careful enough, and ultimately learn nothing from that near certain outcome.
Why stop there?
Honestly, I ain't even mad.
Our response to this crisis has been a shitshow.
I worked in the restaurant industry here for 8 years and now I am in food service sales so I have customers in restaurants all over town. I've spoken to many people in the last 48 hrs and maybe 5% of the people I talked to are going to open their dining room next week.
Fam... It's so targeted smh. Who are they trying to fool?! I'm HOME bruh! Frick all that mess that talking about.
