Every day this week they've hung up.

He says that it's mostly in the cities and a statewide order would infringe on rural areas and their rights.

(9,998 posts)You should call and say how you are opposed to any sort of shelter order, and praise their decision. See if they engage in conversation with you rather than hanging up.
You certainly aren't going to get anywhere contradicting their Cult's decision not to issue ANY sort of order.

(9,998 posts)You just do what is prudent to keep yourself as safe as possible. Can't control stupid.
And to your point, what makes you think they're keeping track of responses such as yours, where they're hanging up? Their results will reflect whatever they want them to reflect. If enough idiots in MO want to head straight into the fire, then that's where they're going.

Oh, and be as polite as you can be if you get to talk to anyone. Even though handling an angry constituent is part of their job, they'll use your righteous anger with their lethally bad response as an excuse for why they didn't do better by the people of Missouri.

Besides, I wonder if local is allowed to talk. We get lots of eye rolls on tv but no discussion.
