> A Tesla factory is a much safer place to be than a Home Depot or a Costco.
It's not based on safety, it's based on need. People need a way to buy food, so stores like Costco that sell food are still open, even though it puts people at risk.
By contrast, we do not need to be producing new cars right now, so putting people at risk in order to build them is unnecessary.
Not sure I agree with that. Covid or not, toilets will continue to break down, trees will continue falling on roofs, boilers, thermostats, ACs, stoves and fridges will continue to die. How's someone going to shelter in place if their shelter isn't habitable? Now, more than ever, people need their homes to be in good repair.
Digging in on the Home Depot should be closed narrative. In the event that my home needs repairs, how should I be able to do so if you close down stores like Home Depot? Even if you suggest that someone should go through a contractor instead of fixing their own broken plumbing or a leaky roof, where do you think most of the contractors get their supplies?
