2. Come in!

The weather is fine! But some booze!

My profits are important. Your life, not so much.

. . . . . but some people just don't have any sense of proportionality.

But it's just a case of 'My business is important to me. Your health, not so much.'

5. She doesn't have employees, ...

I'll guarantee you that those employees are 1099 employees,
so they probably don't get unemployment benefits and she
probably doesn't pay into the unemployment fund.

Same thing for the hairdresser that got arrested a month back that got Gov. Abbott
to change the rules retroactively to have her released and to open.

I'll bet that both don't care about their employees that they won't pay into the
unemployment fund.

All they care about is their money, not the health of their employees nor their
financial stability.

7. Compromise! - So the bar can open.

Compromise!

The bars in the high-risk areas can open if they accept the liability of medical treatment for their patrons that catch the virus.

No social distancing required.

No masks required.

No waivers required.

F-R-E-E-D-O-M-!

Seriously?
