What the hell - what country?
You need to move ASAP.
- gruez 6y agoMany western countries have banned those things because of covid restrictions.
- fvv 6y agoI suppose he mean temporarily because covid restrictions..
- flippant 6y agoAfter a year it’s not reasonable to call the restrictions temporary.
- exyi 6y agoIn reasonable countries these businesses still get at least some compensation. That makes it a temporary restriction, the government would not be interested in paying it forever.
- qertoip 6y ago"Temporarily" like a f**cking YEAR. Some business owners committed suicide over this, so I guess its safe to say permanent for them at least.
- tw04 6y agoHe's being inflammatory by trying to imply that temporary pandemic restrictions are permanent laws banning those things. Everything isn't becoming illegal, society has just decided the lives of our at-risk citizens are more important than a temporary halt to social life.
- mk81 6y ago> temporary I lol-ed
- Ariez 6y agoOkay, pretty annoying comment by him!
- jMyles 6y agoGross. "Society" hasn't decided this. A fringe cohort of bureaucrats, skilled at dressing up pseudoscientific police state tactics as public health, have rammed it through against the objection of the most accomplished experts on the topic. And it's not to protect "our at risk citizens" but to protect our affluent citizens. Since all of the ostensible attenuation of horizontal interdiction depends on resources which poor people simply don't have, the acuity is spread is necessarily wealth-stratified in such a configuration. And the consequences haven't been "a temporary halt to social life", but death, disease, and misery visited about marginalized and unhoused communities under the euphemistic guise of an "essential" working class.
- qertoip 6y ago"Temporary"? It's been A YEAR and tens of thousands of businesses and families going bankrupt. And there is no end in sight to this.
