Looks like most of the local counties are officially on lockdown

Would someone explain the difference between "lockdown" & what we were doing?   The single family member at store is a significant move, but what else?   

Btw, went to Vidor Market Basket today & I sit in car while wife went in.   Only single customers were entering.   I'm encouraged folks are following this directive.

Unfortunately, not everywhere. How can this possibly be enforced by retail workers? It can't. But its more of an order for the shoppers to be responsible.

Sure, but based on NYC (go on out - ride the subways) & New Orleans (sure let’s have the Mardi Gras - who’s Mayor, like Negin, is blaming Trump), it’s pretty obvious we should gather as little as possible.  It’s just my wife & I, and I sent her to her room.  😂😂😂

And, she doesn’t read this Forum.......  Thank goodness.

It’s the same as what we were doing, but now they can actually enforce it.  They can pull you over and give you a ticket if they want.

And some of us, deemed essential infrastructure, will continue to go to work for the greater good of the general public. Without any government handouts, hazard pay, or attendance incentives. Business as usual... production and profits over employee health and well being.

Atta boy!

Really? Sarcasm much?

They sent home 1 person last week, and 3 before lunch today. So when the 1st coworker falls deathly ill, and the govt has to support thier family. I'll make sure...

Prey for us. Even though I'm not on the front lines, everyday is a battle.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
