Problem with the argument is... who decides what is "essential"?

Posted by Mr. Havens (aka EdwardHavens) Apr 1 '20, 14:18

I think books are essential. I think tampons are essential. I think Tide Pods are essential. And I don't even personally use at least one of those products.

What's not essential to you might be extremely essential to others.

To me, Amazon isn't essential anymore. My last purchase from them was back in November, and before that, August.
