es·sen·tial
See definitions in:
adjective
1.
absolutely necessary; extremely important.
By the dictionary definition, it is not essential. Anything else is irrelevant. You're simply being emotional over a logical decision.
That is your interpretation of the definition. Warfarin may be "essential" to a cardiac patient but it is not for heart healthy people. What is essential for one is not for others. There are degrees, it isn't black and white. All of this is relevant as well, how "emotional" to dispel my questions as if they have no validity. If a person and their families welfare relies on a job it is ESSENTIAL that they perform that job so that they may provide (income) what is truly needed for themselves and their family. Who are we to decide their job as non "essential"? Decisions have been and continue to be made on people's lives wholly without their consent. Selling Magic cards may very well be essential to a lot of people out there, just like selling liquor or pot or dog grooming services. Don't marginalize or ignore their plight in this. They are also victims, albeit to an arguable lesser degree.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

Let's just say I changed my mind for reasons out of my control. I thought the interviewer (Brian) did very well, we will leave it at that.
Didn't see the Rasmussen one so I can't comment. But sounds like you are saving me some time with your warning, thanks.

Changed my mind. Worst interview ever. Professor was good though, had good solid questions.

There is a very interesting question. Will overpowered or degenerate combo pieces sneak through? Or will they design on the conservative side and cards will be purposely underpowered as to avoid play problems? Wait and see I suppose.

Hahahaha, no they aren't. Which isn't to say those businesses aren't important to those financially or socially supported by them, they just aren't essential in the context of a global pandemic.
Who gets to define "essential"?
I see a lot of liquor stores, pot stores, lotto/gambling available at this time. How are they "essential" at all? You know the answer. Taxes and Special Interests.
Government does need to "protect and serve" the people. But they need to do it the least obtrusive fashion that provides that help.
As for Maro, (I changed my mind, retracting my compliment).
