Josh is a smart guy. You can tell he was not trying to rock the boat politically with the governor, but he says people should only be going out for medical and grocery needs, or to operate critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, here's Ige's list of "essentials":

Code:

What is an essential business?

Health care operations and essential infrastructure
Grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks and pet supply stores

Businesses that provide food, shelter and social services

Licensed private detectives

Probably a professional courtesy for Magnum P.I.'s contribution to Hawaii.

"Critical labor union functions"

Don't you just love that one? This must include junkets to Vegas, assorted shake-downs, and stealing member funds for personal use. Oh, and we mustn't leave out beating up people who complain or get in the way of the above activities.

I'm keeping an open mind here: how is all construction considered essential, as opposed to case by case emergency projects? I know people still doing home improvements across town because "it's on the list".

Ige's little hookup to his union buddies? Hey, only 20% of the infected are likely to wind up in the ICU, right?

Oh, come on, randomq, somebody has to spread the virus around. Why not the unions?
