As we have witnessed fear and panic spread across our land...
We have also witnessed new terms and phrases such as social-distancing and non-essential-business...
The very idea of a non-essential business is a myth at best and a government-inspired fantasy at worst...
Mayors and governors across the nation have forced closure (through threats) of these so-called non-essential businesses...
While allowing “essential” businesses to carry on... What is the criteria for determining this, as It is all extremely arbitrary...
It is arbitrary because there is really no objective way to make such a determination...
Every business is essential to the owners and employees who depend on it for their livelihood...
Try telling the owner of a “non-essential” craft shop that her business is non-essential when her mortgage comes due...
Or a father of 4 to stay home because his chosen profession is non-essential...
I have been attacked in this forum for verbalizing a different point of view...
Our economy is life-sustaining, or at least it was...
No one could possibly possess the knowledge necessary to grasp all of the repercussions of shutting down one business in favor of another...
The economy is an intricately intertwined system as one part depends on another in a symbiotic relationship...
Production and distribution form a long chain of interconnected links and no link in a chain is non-essential...
If you remove one link, however insignificant it might seem, you destroy the entire chain...
That’s exactly what these government officials are doing with their arbitrary closure of “non-essential” businesses...
They are destroying our economy and I believe these politicians and bureaucrats are acting way outside of their authority...

They may take solace in the fantasy that they are only shutting down that which is non-essential, but they fail to recognize their own ignorance...
