Further, reopening badges are intended to "build consumer confidence" and assure your clients that your business is safe. Additionally, according to these guidelines, we will also be required to place the state's 211 number throughout the facility so that customers can contact the authorities if proper safety guidelines are not being followed.
Today I've finally been pushed too far. This news was the last straw for me, I'm not going to comply with that and I'm likely not going to reopen at all. I am most likely going to close up shop, take what savings I have, and move out of my home state, hopefully to a place that values freedom and start all over. The bureaucrats have pushed me to the point of leaving behind my friends, family, and a business that I built from nothing several years ago. Incredibly upsetting.
