Because I like to go in and still down and enjoy my food.

Andrew Baker

Because my work truck doesn't fit in a drive thru and a guy's gotta eat.

Steve TheBmann

Only those with concerns should be avoiding restaurants IMO. It should have been that way from day one.

Will Mason

Your fear mongering has failed.

Patricia Boggs

Why not? Simply put when your sick stay home.

Angela Embree

Because covid numbers are down and it is time to let the economy and business owners recover from the economic loss due to the pandemic.

Nathan Butler

I've recovered from COVID, and therefore am a very low risk for both contraction and transmission.

Many people are still wary of eating inside restaurants, where people have to be unmasked to eat and are seated in a common area.

No, double No, and triple Hell No!!!!!! You have all kinds of people moving around, kids running around. People snotting, sneezing, coughing, farting, dirty hands from wiping hand across their nose and mouth and won't go and wash their hands. Folks digging in their behinds and go to get a plate.

Julie Ann Bird

I am high risk being immunocompromised so I don't feel comfortable dinning in yet. If cases of covid-19 continue to decrease, then I would love to eat in a restaurant again.

Andy Miller

Democrats want to lower taxes for low-income people and increase taxes on the rich.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Fred

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

JIC CoMo

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
