But he’s also stupid. He can work to eliminate every stay-at-home order in the country, and nothing will change. He might actually succeed at eliminating every stay-at-home order in the country, and nothing will change.

Businesses aren’t reopening because people won’t come, regardless of whether or not there’s a stay-at-home order in place. We just lost over 20 million jobs. It will take many years to replace them. Presidential fiat can not force businesses to reopen.
