And while we may be forced- because of the miserable system we have- to return to our places of employment and resume work activities so that we don't starve to death and/or lose our homes, they still can't make us to go to malls, sporting events, churches, parks, etc. until we feel satisfied that we are safe to do so.

If not returning to work means you are fucked over by the system then some compliance is necessary, but you do not have to pla their game. Wankers.

Kemp wants the bowling alleys open but won't resume tours through the governor's mansion?

Everybody needs to stay home.

...and respond to their brushoffs by sticking to "the governor/senator/whatever said things were ready to open up again" as if that's the one and only concept you understand.

It could be even more fun than when people responded to their "demonize immigrants" hotline to "report crimes committed by illegal aliens" with calls about crimes being committed by space aliens*.

*They never did get back to me about that laundry theft I reported. You'd think it would be easy to find a perp with distinctive mechanical-rice-picker-damaged ears....

As was reported, trump went ballistic when he found out his “assistant” tested positive yesterday, why is soooo anxious for US warriors to go get exposed, and without testing for us front liners. Like ever DICKtator ever, you peasants go die for me and my gold.
