You fink I’m weird?
michigan says buying seeds is non essential
wtf is up with this shit
wtf is up with this shit
It is.
I
I think the key word is "usually", but not always.
I just mean in the sense that the banks here were "asked" by the government to allow mortgages to be stayed for up to 6 months. But there are no details on how or why that's going on.
and a mortgage deferral would be 'no late fees or payment for now', but speculators are getting their losses bought up by taxpayers. The lien holders are going to get their money eventually, and the speculators are already being made whole. Private Profits, Public Debts.
the devil is i n the details . it is up to 2000 a month and only if you have been completely out of work and do not qualify for EI. the majority of people wont even qualify
don't you just mail order your seeds anyway?
We'll ignore for a second that it's impossible to grow your own food in any sort of meaningful way if you live in Michigan. Right now, if everyone decides to grow their food and stop buying it, it'll mean even worse things for the economy,
Someone like me, who's essential, but seeing a reduction in income because of all that's going on, I get jack shit.
I would for sure...I just think telling stores they can't sell seeds is rather ridiculous
I have enough seeds to grow food for 20 years here, but I am a lifelong gardener
Just saying it seems like an odd choice...no seeds allowed...but liquor, cannabis, tobacco are all "essential"
Yeah, so there are late fees. They also haven't addressed what a bunch of non-payments will do to your future credit ratings.
Those are finished products. No one is stopping you from buying produce.
I don't know michigan at all...but I do know that you can grow food anywhere if you use lights or outdoor greenhouse
and some cold weather crops do fine with a harsh cold winter
The economy is beyond fucked already so I think being self sufficient is being proven to be very important
people growing their own food is a very small percentage of the pop, letting them grow food won't hurt supermarket sales that badly
just seems like overkill/over reach IMO
all good, I just found it odd
I'm reading that the testing has flattened out at ~100k tests/day...I wonder how much of the 'new cases' and 'new deaths' staying flat is due to that and how much is due to all of the non-pharmaceutical measures we've taken to reduce the spread.
This whole thing is over reach, bro.
but what's the logic in not allowing seeds to be purchased? is it just because Garden Stores are considered 'non-essential' in MI?
i am willing to bet anyone who does get the trudeau bucks will be in for a rude awakening come tax time next year. you know that there will be big bucks doled out to snc lavalain,bombardier,mccains,loblaws etc though
You'd have to ask
@Inside Job what the deal is. My guess is that garden stores are non-essential.
I agree...total bummer
Here the garden stores and home improvement stores are absolutely packed...precautions and distancing in place but very busyYou'd have to ask
But in some places there is no seed sales now...and also costco and walmart and target? are not gonna sell electronics and some other non essential stuff, this is only in certain regions...just seems odd to me
haha look at this picture...hilarious
this is from a Lowe's
rest of store is open
Critics: Why are Michigan's restrictions different than other states'?

Personally, I'm doing my best to come out the other side of this without taking any of these "freebies" if someone needs EI, they've paid into that, cool. But this mortgage thing is freaking me out. Credit ratings work as "paid or not paid" there's no "the government says it's okay to miss a payment category" Even if they do sort that out, I can't help but think that when a person's mortgage comes up for renewal in a few years that they'll be told by the bank that their interest rate is higher than advertised because they've demonstrated themselves to be high risk.
