It comes down to whether or not you think access should be limited for safety. That goes for restaurants, craft shops, mulch/seeds, photographers, picnic table customizers, etc. If your goal is to suppress the spread, then people should only be going out every 2-5 weeks, and not to twelve different places.
On the flip side, if the personal liberties and freedom should trump public safety, and these steps are smashing those to pieces.
Either way, there is a legitimate argument to be made for the fallout from not having easy access to that kind of nature-based therapy.
You failed to notice that those areas of the store are cordoned off while others aren't. If people "just can't wander through stores in a hot zone state" then why is the store even fucking open at all?
Because there are lots of essential things to survive elsewhere in Home Depot. It's the same reason some stores are closing off the art supplies in walmart.
Nutcrackers and Lazy Susans don't produce food...self-produced food which would help people avoid having to go grocery shopping as often, which you would think that the government would want in order to cut down exposure and have more food available on grocery shelves for others.
What percentage of people are self-making their own food, Mili? Were garden boxes selling like hotcakes like toilet paper?
This is about outrage first and foremost (at least among those furious that are not in the state), and secondarily because it's disrupting a key part of american life, home upkeep and beautification. It's not essential but it's extremely beloved by us all.
Not sure if I'm reading your post correctly, but most gardening is done outside.
I'm aware of that, and that it's a very useful coping mechanism (particularly for those stuck together for inordinate amounts of time).
