I needed modeling clay, and Target didn't have it, but Michaels was really close in the same shopping center.

Can't recall ever setting foot into a Hobby Lobby and for sure won't after this.

have that they won't angle to take away from you. But they go on going to church and praying before each meal. They simply don't see the utter dissonance of their lives.

In CA, at least, the directive to close non-essential businesses can be enforced by law, if I read the news correctly.

Governor Cuomo says anyone who violates the closing of all but essential businesses will be forcibly closed down and prosecuted.

We are up to 10,000 known cases in NY state, and an indefinite number of unknowns. He is angry at careless risk takers and means business.

Hobby lobby has 32000 employees.

to cut them all $15/hr checks for a 40 hour work week for the next ten weeks during a shutdown would cost him about $200,000,000, or about 3.5% of his net worth. In other words, he could still afford literally ANYTHING in the world he wants.

Sat Mar 21, 2020, 11:26 PM
Mar 2020

Here are two passages that come to mind...

div class="excerpt"]Matthew 19:24 I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Also ..

In Matthew, a rich young man asks Jesus what actions bring eternal life. ... When the man responds that he already observes them, and asks what else he can do, Jesus adds: If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.

No changes to anything by prospective beneficiaries on pain of forfeiture - information alleged by somebody with connections to the top. There goes this fanatic who uses his nutcase beliefs as a cudgel in the wingnut cultural war - denying government coverage and paid sick leave to employees - what a christian!1

about refusing to take part in Obamacare because it supported BC pills! This fine show of real Christianity is beyond the pale! He COULD HAVE offered to take & ship online mail orders because he didn't want to expose his employees or customers to the virus. Why would he ever think of doing something for his fellow man as a good Christian would do? you are all right about why! MONEY!!!!

that tells me that's where these people are going if they don't start acting responsibly.

Otherwise, by all means keep open so your still-going-to-church crowd can buy stuff to decorate their caskets.
