out of stock, etc. In 10 more days, this state is supposed to open up again and find out just how badly they've ruined this economy

I'm just waiting for the Johnny Come Lately panic buyers to have their credit card bills come due and see what floods back into the gun market. |

Biggest issue is receivables. Probably a third of customers simply aren’t paying their bills timely right now, and that creates a drain, because we still have the same payroll, taxes, insurance, and other to pay out every week. If it were Hillary or Bernie in the white house right now, I’d figure it was them showing their inherent hate for free markets and capitalism. But Trump undeniably loves the flow and opportunities of the open market, so I’m not positive of what games are being played in a lot of corners here. | |

Our province is re-opening in 3 phases, its going to be interesting at the least. Our idiot Prime Minister has put a number of firearms businesses out of business because of his flawed legislation and many restaurants are going belly up do to lack of customers because of the different covid regulations in each province. Apparently much of the construction workers kept on working within the regulations.

Well my Son and I are hoping we can still get our yearly trip to Canada, but it doesn't look good. If the Prime Minister extends it again we're out luck. I can go anytime but My Son would have to bump one of his staff and he won't do that.

My thoughts are that I don't want to see small businesses hurt by unreasonable blanket restrictions on them. A person takes various risks daily from the time they get up to the time they go to bed. I know some people are at greater risk than others so they need to take reasonable precautions. And don't get me started on my state governor I'm sadly disappointed in him for various reasons. He's spent too much time in DC as part of the swamp. Reasonable is the key word. What I really don't like is the use of this accidentally release or not as a bioweapon for political reasons by Red China and the Leftists here in the West. Also the actions if some local jurisdictions has been an eye opener. One town has had a spike in crime by minors. But isn't doing a damn thing about it. Another is more interested in fining people NYC style for having gatherings even small ones outdoors. |

Their comeback argument is always some version of "it doesn't impact just you; it costs everyone in society if you get sick". Yet they refuse to apply that same standard to our societal sacred cows and political lightning rods. If that same standard was applied universally, then alcohol, Little Debbies, and the KFC buffet would have all been outlawed decades ago. | |
