Well, for one, I’ve never seen groups of 50 people cram into a dispensary and start singing for an hour https://twitter.com/eliza_relman/status/1263883972548886529

Also, only one of the two pays taxes

But really, you could use that argument for any business that’s open. “Why are McDonalds open but movie theaters aren’t?” “Why is the gas station open but churches aren’t?” Etc.

Typically, the group of places that is open tend to be businesses where people don’t gather in groups

As much as people want to make this a culture war thing. It’s all really just a simple matter of public health. I hope that every church, every business can open up safely as soon as humanly possible. Virtually no one *wants* this.
